If you thought the nauseating phenomenon of Rich Kids of Instagram couldn't get any more outlandish, think again.
Rich
Babies of Instagram is the latest hashtag to sweep the social media
world, prompting parents to post flashy photos of their little darlings
languishing in their abundant wealth to show off their opulent
lifestyles.
From
kicking around in wads of cash, to driving miniature versions of luxury
cars and posing with spreads of expensive jewelry, these tots from
around the world are set up for privileged lives, and their families
want you to know it.

Never too young: Rich Babies of Instagram is the latest hashtag to sweep
the social media world, with parents posting flashy photos of their
privileged offspring, such as this one, captioned 'please call me rich
babe!' |
Several toddlers and babies are unabashedly posed with large denominations of dollar bills spread over their chests.
Others
are snapped driving meticulously built child-sized BMW's and Range
Rovers, which typically retail for tens of thousands of dollars.

What
all of them have in common is their association to big sister hashtag
craze Rich Kids of Instagram, which first gained widespread attention in
2012.
Rich
Kids of Instagram - which in fact mainly consists of teens - started as
a single topic Tumblr blog which encouraged Instagram users to attach
the hashtag #rkoi to their ostentatious photographic displays of
wealth.

The
love-to-hate-it pop culture movement spawned a number of spin-offs,
including Rich Dogs of Instagram, as well several spoofs.
Last year, it even inspired a novel penned by Maya Sloan, who also ghostwrote a book with Kendall and Kylie Jenner.

According
to Ms Sloan's description of Rich Kids of Instagram, the novel is a
'dishy and hilarious tale about the intersecting lives of the world’s
most extravagant, unapologetic-ally umber-rich teenagers'.
The year prior, E! launched #RichKids of Beverly Hills, a reality show with a self explanatory title.
