The viral Tumblr Rich Kids of Instagram (RKOI) has gained a huge following for posting pictures of wealthy kids from all over the world parading their luxury cars and yachting to far-flung exotic places using daddy’s money… it even has its own reality TV show.
And in light of this week’s report that ranked Singapore as the world’s most expensive city, coupled with the fact that we are also the city with the most millionaires per capita, we figured there had to be some locals who have made their silver-spooned mark on the pages of RKOI. So we scoured the site to track them down:
Kane Lim, @kanelk_k
Always outfitted in the latest designer togs, his multiple RKOI features were of his colorful outfits (which by chance also included luxury cars in glamorous cities). Whether it is the latest Louboutin shoes, or his obsession with Chanel, he documents his shopping sprees for the world to see.
Georgina Scott, @georgiepieee
This Eurasian teen has a weakness for designer shoes and bags, although her RKOI feature is credited to the Mercedes SL convertible she got for her 18th birthday. Often seen jetsetting or shopping for stress-relief, she is indeed Daddy’s Little Girl.
Hiromi Ochi, @hiromiochi
RKOI knows that the pen is mightier than the sword when it comes to plastic-fantastic. She treated herself to an intimate celebration that included her special edition alcoholic friends: Dom Perignon, Ace of Spades, and Cristal Champagnes.
Melvin Tjahaja, @melvintjahaja
His first feature on RKOI, fittingly, was for his 21st birthday – complete with angels, jeroboams of Champagne, most of it Dom Perignon. The 22-year old is now based in the US where he is completing his studies. “In the past I used to go clubbing most weekends, now I stay at home most of the time,” says Tjahaja. But unlike other starving students, he goes grocery shopping in his Porsche.
