The Rich Kids of Instagram: A Worthy Disaster

ChaseJarvis_RichKidsInstagram_AmyRollo-samuelfastlicht

From the G6 to the yacht to the private island. by samuelfastlicht

When you combine youth, unlimited cash and iPhone technology, you get braggadocios photographic evidence of a lavish lifestyle.  Also known as the Rich Kids of Instagram.  At first glance, this Tumblr is so ridiculously over the top it’s laughable. But a deeper look reveals for me some cultural sadness…privileged kids posting bar tab receipts that cost more than four years of college at a private university and talking shit about it. Depending on your mood – it can be entertaining or awful.

But if art (or curation) is aimed to send a message, make a claim, create a reaction, my take is that this tumblr is worthy of your time – even if it’s to feel the weirdness.

Side note, here’s an interesting article: On Raising Kids Who Seem to Have it All by Peggy Drexler. Peggy is writing a book about the impact of wealth on childrearing.  She has a more empathetic outlook on these kids:

As absurd as it might sound to many, it’s not easy being a rich kid. Their parents tend to have high expectations. There’s nothing wrong with wanting your daughter to go to the best school, but you also want her to learn to be a good person, and encouraging achievement over character-building can mean kids never quite figure out who they are. They think their money is their most notable quality. And so they learn to use it — to buy affection, or friends.

For the rest of us, peering in on this group of not just the “1 percent”, but the one 1/100 of a %, there is an escape to a life of private jets, yachts, and more…either as a dream, or a nightmare. In both cases – worth the look.

And when money is no object, convenience is king. That’s why private jet ownership isn’t just a flex; it’s a lifestyle essential. Whether hopping between European fashion weeks or escaping to a private island for the weekend, unparalleled access to air travel is a non-negotiable.

Programs like BlackJet Reserve offer instant, hassle-free bookings for those who demand efficiency, while Equity Fleet provides a more tailored fractional ownership experience for those who want something truly personal. Because in this world, waiting in line at an airport is simply not an option.

While some opt for full ownership, others prefer more flexible solutions like jet cards, which grant access to a fleet without the commitment of a single aircraft. For those considering this route, this article explains NetJets jet card cost, breaking down how elite travelers can secure seamless flights without the burdens of maintenance and management. Because when life moves at 40,000 feet, the only real concern is choosing which champagne to sip at takeoff.

    Facebook, Twitter, Linked – In and Instagram; that’s just to name a few social media networks that have
    revolutionized our society in recent years.
    They always totally love what they are doing, and will talk to you for hours about why they appreciate it so
    much. world-wide-web, and 2 simple steps, connection your Instagram membership plus your Pic – You
    profile.

    Just a thought here but Im just spit balling, why do people like this exist? I mean seriously, I would love to have five minutes with one of these d bags…I am a 24 year old male and by the time I was 18, I had already made my first kill as a US soldier. Throughout my time of service, I had learned to cherish life and everything about it. For f*** sake, I’ve been blown up twice IN multiple IED incidents and after all of that, I still have to struggle to find a damn job. These kids need to learn that what they spend in a day, could support veterans like I for a year. So I issue a threat to their livelihood, you want to be adults??? Go overseas and fight for your survival alongside everyone else. You have no idea what life is about and you never will because you’re all a bunch of pussies. Enjoy your shell puppets.

    The problem is that these kids are essentially profiting of the suffering and failure of the vast majority of society. They simply lack the depth and emotional clarity to imagine any other existence. Odd are, some of their hijinks are being paid through the mass redistribution of taxpayer dollars in the form of TARP and other “too big to fail” stabilization funds. The system favors sociopaths, and self-absorbed sociopaths without any conscience are exactly what we see here.
