World�s most rich teens of Instagram are spending summer : 'Always tip your private jet pilot $10K'

The world�s most unapologetically rich teenagers have been spending this summer so far in typically over-the-top, extravagant style.

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.

Dead Filipino girl woke up at her own FUNERAL after mourner spotted her moving inside the coffin

A three-year-old girl who had been declared clinically dead by doctors woke up at her funeral service after a mourner checked on her coffin.

The youngster from Zamboanga del Sur in southern Philippines was due to be buried the following morning following a funeral service in Aurora.

A relative removed the lid to check on the remains and saw the youngster's head move.

The girl, who has not been named, was found to have a pulse and was breathing, despite having been declared dead that morning.

Footage of the amazing moment was captured by a mourner on a camera phone and uploaded onto the internet.

Police senior inspector Heidil Teelan said the girl was suffering a severe fever for several days and was taken to a medical clinic on Saturday.

He said: 'During that time, the attending clinic personnel and physician confirmed that the young patient had no more pulse and was clinically dead last Saturday morning about 9am.

According to the Philippine Star the hospital told the family to take the girl home and prepare for a funeral service.

Teelan said while they were not the proper authority to confirm the medical case, but based on the accounts of the child�s parents, the 3-year old girl experienced severe fever for days and was brought to the clinic in the town for medical attention last Friday.

He said one of the mourners spotted the girl move her head while they were inspecting the coffin.

He said: 'This prompted them to check and confirmed the girl had pulse and was alive.

'We really can not make confirmation on the status of the girl but based on the observation of the police personnel I deployed it appear the girl remained in a state of comatose in their house.'

It is understood the family want the girl transferred to a better equipped hospital.

Dog's blissful last day on Earth : Cancer stricken Dukey's final treats before he was put down

A Houston Labrador retriever's final day on earth was documented by grief-stricken owners who wanted to provide the most joyful last moments possible for their pup and the photos--while bittersweet--have managed to bring joy to many thousands of pet owners across the internet as well.

Cancer-stricken Dukey got a goodbye hamburger party, tearful goodbyes from everyone he loved in his too short life, and one final fun-filled trip to the local park.

A blog post featuring all the photos from that day that even includes the exact moment Dukey fell asleep forever was written in the dog's voice by the photographer, a friend of the owners, and is gut-wrenchingly titled 'I died today.'

'I died today. And I ate a lot of hamburgers,' reads the voice of Dukey on the blog of photographer Robyn Arouty.

Dukey is pictured happily chomping away at a plate full of cheeseburgers. He has just three legs, having lost one to cancer years ago.

More recently, the cancer reappeared and had been causing the young dog serious discomfort. His owner Jordan Roberts made the difficult decision to put Dukey down.

'His tumor was growing rapidly and we were out of options,' Roberts told KSL. 'He would rally during the day, but his nights were increasingly uncomfortable.'

But before he took his last breathes, Dukey could have the time of his life.

The photos, which have gone viral thanks to stories on Buzzfeed, Reddit and other major sites, showcase Dukey's considerable zest for life in the face of insurmountable odds.

'We got wet today,' reads the caption of a photo where Dukey's having a ball in a little water park that's really for children. 'We broke the rules today.'

The joyful moments come to a close as a few folks from Dukey's party move on to a picnic blanket in the park, where a veterinary professional takes out a needle.

Dukey's owner can't conceal her overpowering grief as her suffering friend begins to go limp.

'I relaxed today. I felt no pain. Even though the tumor grew so big. I felt the love today,' said the voice of Dukey.

Incredible innovation : Girl mauled by raccoon gets new ear as grown on her ARM is attached

A 12-year-old girl whose ear was gnawed off by a raccoon is one step closer to her dream of wearing two earrings.

Michigan's Charlotte Ponce was just three-months-old in 2002 when the pet crawled into her crib and chewed off her ear, nose and part of her lip.

Now after revolutionary surgery, doctors have attached a new ear which they grew on her arm.

On April 15, surgeons at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan spent seven hours embedding lung cartilage, shaped into an ear lobe, into Charlotte's arm where it grew for months.

Dr. Kongkrit Chiayasate was the plastic surgeon who attached the man-made ear yesterday.

He told ABC News Charlotte was doing well and recovering in the intensive care unit.

'First time we met her, she never made any eye contact, did not talk at all,' Chiayasate, who repaired Charlotte's nose two years ago, said. 'In the past two years, she�s transformed. She�s got more confidence.'

A 12-year-old girl who was mauled by a raccoon as a baby is back at home after successfully undergoing surgery to create a new ear.

Before the complex procedure, which has only been performed twice before, Dr Chiayasate said he practiced on a potato.

He told WBIV: 'As plastic surgeons we need to think outside the box a little bit - what can we do to make a life long reconstruction for her. 'I've been practicing carving potato last weekend using this as a template. It's not easy.'

Young Charlotte has undergone at least 10 operations since 2012 to restore her face.

'The raccoon pretty much ate the right side of her face, all the way back to the ear,' Charlotte�s adoptive mom Sharon Ponce told ABCNews.com. 'Now, all she wants is to wear two earrings.'

Charlotte was just a newborn when her 18-year-old mother and 23-year-old father left her home alone with the pet.

The raccoon was thought to have escaped from its cage after a door was left open when food had been dropped in, and no one was there to save the baby when she was attacked.

Her great-aunt Sharon and great-uncle Tim only found out about the attack with horror when they watched that night's news bulletin.

They gained custody of Charlotte and her brother Marshall, who was then 15-months-old, and they and their friends raised more than $10,000 to help pay for her trips in and out of hospital.

Sharon had to quit her job at a daycare center to look after Charlotte after doctors said she would need full time care.

Charlotte previously had a prosthetic ear fitted but it was not an ideal solution and soon became infected and uncomfortable.

Yet despite the enormous damage, there is one miracle. Even before the extensive surgery which will grant her a new quality of life, Charlotte's hearing has been largely unaffected.

Turtle boy Didier Montalvo's life changed after surgery - That gives other sufferers hope

Boarding a plane for the first time in his life was a big event for Didier Montalvo.

The eight-year-old travelled from his home town in Colombia to the UK to meet other children struck down by the rare condition he faced.

Didier was labelled 'Turtle boy' after developing a shell-like growth on his back.

But three years ago the youngster underwent a life-changing operation to remove the huge mole, which weight around 20 per cent of his body weight.

Didier was diagnosed with the rare illness Congenital Melanocytic Nevus (CMN) in 2011.

Appearing on ITV's This Morning, his mother Luz said: 'He felt very bad before the surgery, it impeded him from doing a lot of the activities he enjoyed doing.

'When he heard people calling him "Turtle boy" he felt very sad and he would ask "Why do I have this?" It was a very difficult question to answer.

'We always had hope that something would be done.'

But thanks to leading UK plastic surgeon Neil Bulstrode, who operated on him free after hearing of his plight, Didier can now grow up as any other child.

Mr Bulstrode said: 'One of the main focuses for us was to try and get Didier to feel like he could reintegrate with society. 

'But also to relieve the huge weight that he had. It was around 20 per cent of his body weight.

'It was like us carrying around a sack of potatoes and was hugely impinging on his lifestyle.'

Mr Bulstrode flew to the Colombian capital Bogot� to help a team of surgeons remove Didier�s birthmark, which had grown so big that it was feared it could become malignant.

The doctors then had to carry out a complicated series of skin grafts over several stages.

Mr Bulstrode told the Evening Standard: 'Didier�s was the worst case I had ever seen. Effectively three quarters of the circumference of his body was affected.'

During his stay in the UK Didier met fellow CMN sufferer Jodi Whitehouse, who set up a charity called Caring Matter Now to support children in the UK with the condition in 1997.

She told This Morning: 'We support around 400 families in the UK and internationally, and we offer support days, support pack fro parents and for teachers and staff at schools, it's a real network and children are now growing up knowing they are not alone, like Didier thought he was.

'Coming to the UK he has met children for the first time who also have the condition.'

Didier and his mother have been staying with a South American family living in London whose four-year-old son also has the condition.

Jodi said: 'They are like best friends now, playing football together in the garden and having lots of fun. A real friendship and bond has been built.'

Awesome Joe creates pre-amputation bucket list for his LEG - including getting a joke 'please cut here' tattoo

An extreme sportsman has made a heart-warming photo diary charting his agonising decision to have his left foot amputated.

Joseph Pleban, 23, was told he had a rare bone and joint disease which caused recurring tumours in his ankle.

He decided to have his left foot removed by surgeons after realising it would allow him to continue to pursue extreme sports.

As he was growing up Mr Pleban, from Fredericksburg, Virginia, kept hurting his left ankle while snowboarding, wakeboarding and playing rugby.

After consulting doctors, Mr Pleban eventually decided the only option was to have the lower section of his left leg amputated.

He created a unique photo as a farewell to his foot after choosing to replace his damaged ankle with a blade-style prosthetic.

He said: 'Over six years I had to give up all of the sports I loved. Although taking my ankle away was a big sacrifice, the change to regain the ability to play those sports again meant it it was a no-brainer.

'It took me a little while to get past the emotional hurdles. As a way to come to terms with what was happening I decided to capture the journey in pictures.'

The photo series follows Mr Pleban from the moment he chose to have his ankle amputated, through the surgery itself, up to the mirror therapy which he is currently undertaking to adjust to life as an amputee.

Mr Pleban broke his ankle while wakeboarding the day after he graduated from college in 2008. Doctors operated on the ankle and found that the area was full of small tumours.

It was discovered that he had a rare condition called pigmented villonodular synovitis, which produces malignant non-cancerous tumours which attack cartilage, causing agonising degenerative arthritis.

An operation to remove the tumours was carried out but within six months they had grown back.

In 2010 Mr Pleban underwent a second round of surgery followed by radiation therapy and was told he would no longer be able to pursue sports.

He said: 'I was a competition swimmer for 18 years then played rugby through college. Later I picked up American football, soccer and snowboarding.'

'Any sport - you name it, I'd play it. To be told that I wouldn't be able to play sports was the worst thing I had ever heard.'

In March 2014 he had an MRI which revealed that the nodules had once again returned.

Doctors advised that the only option was to fuse his ankle and have surgeries for the rest of his life.

Despite their advice to undergo the fusion treatment, Mr Pleban decided to go for amputation instead as it would allow him to continue playing sport.

Mr Pleban said: 'It came down to either going through surgeries for a good portion of my life or have one surgery to end them all and be as active as I want on a prosthetic.

'My dad was the last one to accept my choice. He was searching everywhere for other options, but I just had to tell him that it was time to let it go.

'Nothing was going to work except fusion or amputation, and I had decided on amputation.'

Mr Pleban and his girlfriend Johnna Hetrick, 30, decided to create a photo record, beginning three months before he had surgery.

He said: 'We drew up a list of things which we wanted to do while I could. It was heartbreaking to lose it, but that wasn't going to stop me doing things before I lost it.'

Activities included go-karting, paintballing, watersliding and skydiving. The couple went on vacation to the Caribbean and went scuba diving and parasailing.

In an expression of Mr Pleban's bravery and sense of humour, he uploaded pictures with electric saws and paintball guns, offering them up as alternative ways to remove his leg.

Just before the operation he asked for a tattoo of a line on his ankle with the words 'please cut here'.

He said: 'I sent a picture of my tattoo in an email to the surgeon while he was at a conference in London. He showed the photos around and it became a big hit.

'Right before the surgery, I freaked out a bit. I realised there would be no way to turn back from my decision once I'd had the surgery.

'But as soon as I woke up from the surgery and looked down, I knew I had done the right thing

'I start getting fitted for a new leg as soon as the sutures are out.'

He is already planning Hallowe'en costume ideas with his girlfriend. He said: 'I could be a surfer and she could be a shark - maybe we could add a surfboard with a shark bite out of it.

'I would like to get a leg with a USB port that converts the kinetic energy from me walking into electrical energy to charge my phone.'

Miss Hetrick said: 'He is an inspiration to me. Him losing part of his leg wouldn't change my feelings for him at all.

'I let him make the decision which was right for him and I support him entirely.'

Human tarantula : Contortionist transforms into giant spider using elaborate body paint

At first glance you might be forgiven for thinking this image shows an arachnophobe's worst nightmare - a super-sized tarantula.

But look closer and you'll see it is simply a woman covered with elaborate body art.

A contortionist has been transformed into a tarantula by body painter Emma Fay, who used water-based paints to turn the ultra-flexible model into the giant arachnid.

It took the 27-year-old five hours of intricate work to create the incredibly detailed creature - and she created a seahorse and a leggy giraffe too.

Contortionists Lowri Thomas and Beth Sykes were completely disguised by a layer of paint that transformed their bodies into the animal artwork.

Emma, from Leicester, has been body painting for three years and created the series of images to celebrate the marvels of nature, she says.

The artwork was captured by photographer Jonathan Macauley, who recorded the progress of the animalistic designs as they developed.

Emma said: 'This series of transformations is based on the marvels of the natural world.

'The animals featured are both closely linked to evolution and have developed and changed over a long period of time.

'First I ask the contortionist to get into the initial pose and mark out where they will be.

'The contortionists can only hold the pose for a maximum of five-seconds so I have to work quickly to get it right.

'I then keep painting and repositioning the models until they look like the real animal.'

One of the models, Beth Sykes, is also a circus performer, acrobat, fire-eater and stilt-walker.

Other projects have seen Miss Sykes painted as a lizard, an alien character from the film 'Avatar', a tiger and other wild animals.

She recently performed at a celebrity-packed party in the Maldives featuring the Beckhams, Gordon Ramsay, Jimmy Carr and other big names.

She said: 'My flexibility isn't all natural, it comes from being trained and years of practice.

'I used to train six days a week, before school and after school. I absolutely love it.'
