Perhaps one of the more low-profile Rich Kid on this list, Lo still leads the life of a privileged – she is known for her over-the-top shopping sprees by clearing out Singapore’s Louboutin and Hermes stores.

But of course, he gets around in one of his luxurious supercars. The youngest Rich Kid on our list, Lee even has admirers leaving comments like “Marry me” and “I love you” on his Instagram account.

Rich kids of Singapore – next-level humblebragging?

Social media has created an avenue for anyone and everyone to have a glimpse into the cocooned lives of these rich kids, resulting in insta-envy. Of course, this comes at a price for the rich, who are often being accused of ‘showing off’ or ‘living off daddy’s money’. No thanks to Hollywood, the name of socialites has been sullied as people perceive one to be like Paris Hilton.

However, how spoiled are these rich kids really? While some may be flaunting it in your face, others are more discreet and down-to-earth. Many forget that there are other facets in the lives of the wealthy that they do not portray on social media, such as doing charity work, or pulling all-nighters to run their businesses. Kim Lim, for one, has kept in mind her father’s constant reminders to stay humble, and also does charity work. In her free time, she even makes it a point to accompany the elderly at old age homes.

After all, some of them can also be seen in hawker centers tucking in local delights like char kway teow – they’re really not that different from us.

Well, except that we don’t drive to hawker centers in our flashy supercars.
