Super-rich young guns document their extravagant lifestyles on Instagram


  •  
  • 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'. 

THE NEW YORKER WHO'S ALWAYS SURROUNDED BY BEAUTIFUL GIRLS

Five-star holidays, high-performance cars and private jets are less of a luxury and more of an everyday routine for these youngsters.
As are shots of diamond-plated jewellery and, of course, drinking champagne straight from the bottle like Andrew Warren.
The college student acknowledges he has come from a privileged background in New York. His grandfather made his fortune in the fashion industry and his father followed in his footsteps before venturing into real estate and investment.
He says if you don't take pictures of the good times, it's like they never happened.
Chillaxing: Andrew counts himself as one of the lucky ones for having both for the money and a family who give him 'lots of attention'. But he is scathing of some of the other 'Rich Kids of Instagram'. 'I feel like a lot of Instagram accounts which have rich kids are trying to seek attention,' he told MailOnline

Can't buy  love: Andrew criticised other rich people on Instagram by telling MailOnline: 'When I post photos of my girlfriends it's not like most guys who post unclassy hookers.'

Party time: Andrew says: 'My girlfriends - although there all really pretty - come from good families who happen to have money and most of them are really smart, coming from really good schools'

But the grandson of a revered clothing magnate is planning to start his own clothing line, called Just Drew, and hates people judging him by his opulent posts.
He told MailOnline: 'My favourite Instagram caption would be 'Lemonade, Lemonade' or using the lemon emoji.  
'It's when other people are jealous or 'look sour' about something we do, it's like Lemonade because they are being sour... It's basically to the people hating because now I just laugh at it.'

He said: 'I feel like a lot of Instagram accounts which have rich kids or whatever are trying to seek attention because they don't get enough at home or from people in real life.

'And when I post photos of my girlfriends it's not like most guys who post unclassy hookers. 
'My girlfriends - although there all really pretty - come from good families who happen to have money and most of them are really smart, coming from really good schools.'
Andrew uses Instagram as an online diary of his extraordinary life. His upbringing has also meant he is relaxed around celebrities - another common feature of the 'rich kid' account.
He said: 'It doesn't really phase me. I've been around them my entire life. But laughing is the most important thing to me so I will admit I love Kris Jenner.
'I think she is so hilarious I saw her at Lance Basse's wedding in LA and then in Aspen after that and she is really funny.' 
‘The one thing I really hate is people who judge me because you can't base someone off their Instagram account. 
'A lot of the time I'm just trying to be funny because everyone who actually knows me knows I have a really good sense of humour and laugh at myself. So if someone thinks one of my Instagrams are embarrassing that's their problem because I think it's funny and it's just fun and not to take pictures so seriously.'
