The âRich Kids of Instagramâ are not your typical well-to-do brats.

In a world that is smaller, more connected, and more competitive than ever, where nothing is off limits, some kids are just trying to make a buckâor ten thousand. Prepare to be wowed by this saucy, compulsively readable book about the hilarious display of extravagant wealth and the teenagers who have fallen into it.
