- Snaps include wads of money, copious champagne, fast cars and Jacuzzis
- They describe themselves as part of an 'elite global network' of travellers
- But they insist they are just the same as everyone else on Instagram
- They hit back at 'haters' who haven't enjoyed the same privilege
- And say it just so happens they have more money than your average user
- Posting pictures from the world's best restaurants is just the same as someone 'posting a picture at McDonalds', one 'Rich Kid' claims
Scrolling
through their lifestyle snaps may be a little torturous for ordinary
mortals, as the 'Rich Kids of Instagram' jet between the world's most
glamorous cities, dine at the finest restaurants and wear the most
exclusive clothes.
But
the young millionaires behind the internet sensation everyone loves to
hate insist that they aren't bragging - just posting average pictures of
their lives like everyone else.
'I
don't think I should be judged for posting a photo like eating caviar
at Claridge's in London while it's okay for someone to post a picture at
McDonald's,' argues 22-year-old Andrew Warren, scion of a New York real
estate empire, who boasts that 'all his friends have money too'.
He
told MailOnline: 'My favourite Instagram caption would be 'Lemonade,
Lemonade.' It's when other people are jealous or 'look sour' about
something we do, it's like Lemonade.'
Stephanie Scolaro, one of the Rich
Kids of Instagram alongside sister Lana, told MailOnline: 'I'm thinking
of making my own TV show with my sister. We got approached in LA, where
we have a lot of friends who are in movie production. They wanted to
make a reality TV show about us.'
Just
another day: Lana (left) and Stephanie Scolaro (right) spent Christmas
and New Year's in St Bart's where they partied with famous rapper P
Diddy. Lana tells MailOnline: 'There's, like, one big clique which is
kind of global, who travel. We go to all the most exclusive parties and
clubs.'
The finer things:
New York native Andrew Warren, 22, pictured above with friend Lulu
Stelle, loves to indulge in a bottle of vintage champagne, and is
planning to launch his own clothing line. He told MailOnline: 'When
other people are jealous or 'look sour' about something we do, [we call
it] Lemonade... It's basically to the people hating.'
Royalty: Turkish Emir Bahadir's first
name literally translates to 'prince' and the 23-year-old certainly
lives - and dresses - like one. He says: 'I have always wanted to show
people a life filled with the perfect balance of culture, luxury, and
discipline, where having an exorbitant amount of wealth does not
pre-conceive you to be an arrogant wasteful being.'
Sleeping beauty: Dragons have their
horde of gold and 26-year-old Israeli trader Tomer Sror has his bed of
cash - and a bottle of Dom Perignon champagne. He told MailOnline: 'I
use Instagram to inspire and motivate people in my age and see what I
achieved by hard work and a lot of ambition.'
Meanwhile
23-year-old trader Tomer Sror, from Israel, who has made his fortune
from the stockmarket, brags: 'When you are in a position that you can
pretty much get anything in life, you just go for it and live life to
the fullest.'
And
for those who mock their opulent posts - real estate developer Andreas
Arnhoff, 25, from Norway, reveals one of his favourite quotes: 'Have you ever met a hater doing better than you? Me neither.'
Andrew,
Tomer and Andreas - along with the jet-setting Scolaro sisters and real
estate Turkish entrepreneur Emir Bahadir - are among the new breed of
Instagram 'Rich Kids' whose accounts attract millions of followers under
the tagline 'They have more money than you and this is what they do'.
Today they revealed a little more about their lives as they hit back at the 'haters'.
