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.

When my dad wanted to buy us dune buggies I thought he was kidding… Apparently not. by annabelschwartz
When you look at how much poverty and homelessness there is, not just in the world as a whole but in our towns and cities, it’s kind of breath-taking to see this amazing wealth accumulation going on. It’s a shame that whilst some people are starving there are others who are clearly too busy spending huge amounts of money to even notice them.
Oh joy. Not just instagram but rich pricks with instagram. A combination of oversharing, shameless bragging and extremely stupid pretentious spending. Plus some truly ugly filters and effects. The only pic that I don’t have a (massive) issue is the one of the gas price because that’s something I would take a pic of myself.
Oh so the scale to judge whether its ok or not is if you would do it, then it’s ok and if not, then it’s wrong? Pure arrogance.
and I thought YOU, Chase Jarvis, had some money… wouldn’t we all like to have $100,000 checks show up on a regular basis? yes, of course… most of us reading Chase’s blog would probably spend it differently, though… i hope…
they live a life so sad that they compensate for it by buying too much to get everyone’s attention. at the end of the day, after the oohs and the aahhs, they’re still don’t feel complete.
Lies and propaganda. Not only has it been proven time and time again that money indeed does buy happiness (especially if you never had to lift a finger for it) but it’s just blatantly obvious common sense. These children feel deep fulfillment and elation that you never even knew existed
Are you one of these butthurt idiots on Instagram? Why are you so defensive? And money DOESN’T buy happiness, check the dozens of studies. Correlation, yes but they don’t go hand in hand. You can’t deny that these kids are vapid and superficial – it’s objectively true. Who would genuinely be inspired by most of those photos?
Some maybe rich children but some are children prostitutes. I know personally one. When she was 15 she went with mother to NYC. Then she met multimillionaires (she has a model look). Then she become a “girlfriend” of one. Went with him to London. Switching between the boyfriends and posting instagram pictures exactly like the ones above. But what is interesting she is not alone there. It is like trend between billionaires to have kids for girlfriend. She is posting pictures with model-like looking boys and girls partying with one or two old mens.
