How the Rich Kids of Hong Kong Flaunt Their Money on Instagram
Hong Kong, a city of over 7.2 million people, 55 of whom are billionaires, has long had a reputation for being a one of the most vibrant and cultured financial centers of the world — it’s also one of the only regions of the People’s Republic of China where Instagram isn’t banned.
With Hong Kong, you have an ancient culture mixed with over a century of colonial influence that still remains relatively untainted by China’s communist authority. The resulting art, fashion, commercialism and economic prosperity makes for extravagant lifestyles.
And of course, who better to spend all that money than kids? Meet the Rich Kids of Hong Kong.
