Where in the world do ‘Rich Kids of the Internet’ flaunt their wealth on Instagram during summer?
With five years under its belt, the “Rich Kids of Instagram” Instagram account – now renamed “Rich Kids of the Internet” – is still at it, taking photos of the lifestyles of the wealthy.
It is August and those featured on the blog are deep into their summertime celebrations – showing how they spend their wealth abroad complete with private jets, luxury cars, and beach holidays.
Check out what the “Rich Kids” have been up to so far over the summer. All of the featured photos are from users who have been featured on the “Rich Kids of the Internet” (RKOI) Instagram account.
How do Instagram’s ‘Rich Kids of The Internet’ spend their fortune?
Last summer, many of the RKOI had their fun in the sun. The island of Ibiza, off the coast of Spain, which has gained notoriety as the home of 24-hour clubs and wild beach parties, was one of their destinations …
… as was Monte Carlo, the gambling spot of choice for the world's high rollers.
They also made time for must-see summer events, such as horse racing at Royal Ascot in England.
Yet if the RKOI Instagram account – which has 364,000 followers – is any indication, this summer has been just as extravagant.
Some of the Rich Kids have been waking up in Dubai, which has cemented its status in the world of high-end travel with the opening of the world’s most luxurious hotel, the US$1 billion Burj Al Arab Jumeirah (not pictured).

Others are waking up to a breakfast by the pool.
Plenty of them are spending time out on the water, too, whether yacht-side in Perast, an old, coastal town in Montenegro that's been described as a “chunk of Venice” …
… or jacuzzi-side in Mykonos, the glittering Greek island that has been described as the holiday spot of choice for billionaires.

And no summer would be complete for the RKOIs without a classic pool shot, such as like this one in Positano, the colourful, Instagram-famous town on Italy’s Amalfi coast.
Celebrities make their appearance on the account, too. Christian Combs, son of Sean Combs, seems to prefer to hit the water via a jet ski.
Meanwhile, Tyga stays dry with his Louis Vuitton duffel bag.

Summer holidays are not complete without a few lavish trips around the world to places such as Montenegro, a tiny European country that has been called “the next French Riviera”.

And so is Switzerland, where @alexandremourreau is exploring via his Bugatti.
Why luxury streetwear is so popular now
Some of the Rich Kids get around via the luxury of a private jet.
Others have the luxury of their own personal aircraft, such as the four-seater Diamond DA40.
Meanwhile, others are shopping for luxury brands until they drop, whether that's Gucci …
… or German luxury watchmaker A. Lange & Söhne, whose timepieces can cost more than US$50,000.
