From landing their helicopters on tennis courts to relaxing on private, million-dollar yachts the Rich Kids of Instagram have been documenting each self-indulgent moment on social media.
Most posts include advice that could only apply to the 0.01per cent: �When flying in a private jet, it is recommended you tip your pilot, and co-pilot, at least $10,000,� one reads.
Before 17-year-old Marcus Adolf drove his BMW X3 to the Hamptons for the summer, he took his credit card for a spin at Saks Fifth Avenue in San Francisco - but not just any credit card.
Mr Adolf posted an image of his American Express Black Card on Instagram with the caption 'shopping time!' last month. The average cardholder has $16million in assets and an annual household income of $1.3million, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The teen also likes to show off his collection of Rolexes on the blog, and he's not the only one.
New Yorker Cole Shneider likes to sunbath in hers, stacking three on one wrist. Meanwhile Anil Arjandas said he 'needs to buy a new scale' to weigh his growing Rolex collection, 'as this one is just up to 1.5kg,' he wrote on Instagram.
Lavish pools also feature prominently on the blog, with Max Leif and Jack Siebert posting images from the top of New York City penthouses and Mykonos, Greece, respectively.
Since 2012, the Rich Kids of Instagram blog has been chronicling the lives of uber-rich teenagers in a display of extravagant wealth.
The blog then spawned two E! network reality series: #RichKids Of Beverly Hills and "#RichKids of New York.
And last month the privileged youth took their shameless oversharing to another popular app - Snapchat.
Launched by a 17-year-old boy from the UK, Rich Kids of Snapchat uses a Facebook page to give a glimpse into the luxurious lifestyles of a group of teens and 20-somethings.
Whether using Instagram or Snapchat, the images of sports cars, private jets, luxury goods and lavish homes all use captions that revea the kids' nonchalant attitude to money.
Last week the anonymous creator behind Rich Kids of Instagram released a co-authored novel based on the antics of the uber-rich teens on its blog.
Rich Kids of Instagram: A Novel explores the lives of a core group of spoiled young people - from a poultry-empire heiress to a media mogul�s driven daughter and an old-money rifle heir.
