First there were the Rich Kids of Instagram, and now the privileged youth have taken their shameless oversharing to another popular app – Snapchat.

Launched by a 17-year-old boy from the UK, Rich Kids of Snapchat is a Facebook page offering a glimpse into the luxurious lifestyles of a group of teens and 20-somethings, Daily Mail reported.

The pictures on the site are of sports cars, private jets, luxury goods and lavish homes, all with captions revealing the kids' nonchalant attitude to money, said the report.

The page was started by an anonymous teen who, according to his spokesperson, began trading equities and commodities at the age of 12, and now is enormously wealthy, according to the report.

He invites people to add his handle, RIchKidSnaps, on Snapchat so that he can send them pictures from his own lavish lifestyle, and he also accepts snaps from the equally rich, which then go on his Facebook and Instagram pages.

To get their pictures online, people send their snaps to the RichKidSnaps. The manager of the account then filters through them and posts the best ones on the internet.

Some of the images make fun of the less wealthy, referring to them as 'peasants'. One such snap shows a person drawing the Chanel logo onto a pair of well-worn espadrilles. 'How scholarship kids fit in,' reads the caption.
