Rich Kids of Africa share envy-inducing snaps of their VERY lavish lifestyles, from swanky private jets to diamond-encrusted watches

Meet the VERY rich kids of Africa who share pictures of their unbelievably lavish lifestyles on instagram

INSTAGRAM is already littered with images of the young and the beautiful flaunting their wealth — but the Rich Kids of Africa account takes things to the next level.

The aspirational account - which is billed as aiming to 'motivate' budding entrepreneurs - has more than 11,000 followers and invites high net worth individuals to submit pictures of their lavish lifestyles and possessions.

From private jet travel to designer shopping sprees, quaffing champagne like orange juice and all the latest bling, these mega wealthy 'kids' live in designer labels.
Gucci and Louis Vuitton are king on the site, with rich followers showing off their shopping bags, luggage and toiletry bags from the couture labels at every opportunity.
In one incredible post, they even suggest you should dress your pets in designer gear too. Posting an image of a tortoise in a bespoke Gucci-monogrammed fabric shell, the message is clear, 'Life is Gucci!!'

 

Elsewhere we see one young couple hanging out on the wing of their bi-plane and a man chilling in a five star hotel suite as he demolishes a platter of room service food from underneath a Louis Vuitton blanket.

On the side table, he has at least three champagne bottles on the-go, either remnants from a party the night before or an early order for the night ahead.

And as if that wasn't enough, he is also puffing on an expensive Cohiba cigar.

Many of the posters show off their huge collection of designer items, especially Rolex watches.

With even the 'cheapest' models starting at around £5,000 it's the kind of lavish once-in-a-lifetime purchase most people can only dream of.

Meanwhile, blue-eyed Tunisian/Lebanese influencer Mira Ben Ayid, who describes herself as a 'world traveller', appears to spend most of her time being whisked around the world in private jets and enjoying a variety of luxury cars.

On her profile page we see her travelling between Capri, Paris, Dubai, Turkey, Zanzibar and Greece before taking a much-needed rest and chilling out in the stunning crystal blue seas of The Maldives.
