When some of us think “wealth,” we see visions of yachts dancing in our heads. Turns out, there’s a reason for that. Some of the giant boats the other half travel on make Carnival cruisers look tiny. Next time you take a cruise, imagine having the whole place to yourself. If you spend much time on a lot of the rich kids of the internets’ social media feeds, you will likely see bottles. Lots of bottles. While these extra-large gold behemoths seem a little out of control, you will probably recognize the names on a lot of them. And if you take out a second mortgage, you too can drink like they do.
When most of us see “price upon request” in our favorite fashion magazines, we assume that means we can’t afford it. Not these Insta-stars. Names like Gucci, Versace, and Dolce and Gabbana appear in their closets with the same frequency as H&M and Target do in ours. Just remember: You can buy fashion, but not style. While some politicians have come under fire recently for flying private, hopping the family jet comes as a way of life for a lot of rich kids. Forget long lines, taking off your shoes, and packing your liquids in 3-ounce containers. The other half worries about none of that.
