‘Rich Kids Of YouTube’ brag about their wealth with £19 million private jets, £5k bracelets and even CUTTING UP a £4.5k Chanel bag
WE'VE all heard of the Rich Kids of Instagram - but these YouTubers could give the social media show-offs a run for their money.
It's no secret that vlogging can be a lucrative business, and no one knows it more than these flamboyant video-makers.
While some boast huge collections of designer swag, others can't resist flaunting their lavish holidays to their followers.
Jeffree Star is one of the biggest spenders on the video sharing platform.
He rarely leaves the house without luxury clobber and is always seen with thousands of pounds of jewellery hanging from his wrists.
The controversial makeup artist and former singer shares clips of himself unboxing designer goods.
In one recent clip, Jeffree unwraps around £9,500 worth of Gucci products from a single shopping spree.
Showing off his swag, he remarks: "The bag is literally the size of my entire body, I'm like girl this is the motherf****** dream."
Among the luxury goods he unwraps is a £2,500 dress also owned by Beyonce and a custom-made pink leather jacket.
Although Jeffree has a love for all things designer, he sent shockwaves through social media after cutting a £4,500 Chanel bag in half.
In , the vlogger and his friend Manny MUA chop through the pricey item with a 1000 degree knife.
Unsurprisingly, the YouTuber faced a lot of backlash after this wasteful action.
One commenter remarked: "I've never felt so poor."
Another said: "I know its his own money and channel but watching him cut those things made me feel sad."
Jeffree isn't the only YouTube star to flaunt his lavish lifestyle.
Shopping addicts Desi Perkins and Chase Amie regularly upload videos on their beauty and fashion collections.
In June, makeup artist Desi treated her 2.7 million subscribers to a tour of her epic collection in a recent video posted to .
From back-up beauty blenders ato overflowing amounts of eyeshadows, bronzers and setting powders - there's no way you'd ever be able to get through all that slap.
Chase Amie has an equally enviable collection.
She has a sprawling bag and shoe haul, including NINE Chanel bags that are worth a combined total of around £28,000.
When they're not shopping, the YouTube celebrities enjoy jetting off on holiday.
Obviously, they couldn't bear to enjoy their travels without snapping at every opportunity.
Jake Paul recently took a trip in a £19 million private jet.
He made sure to let everyone know just how expensive the journey was, captioning his YouTube video "$25M Dollar Private Jet".
The vlogger is no stranger to showing off about his travel arrangements, as he regularly snaps himself standing next to supercars and helicopters.
How do YouTubers make money?
- The adverts that run before a vlogger’s content generate YouTube revenue, and they get a portion of this money
- Many influencers also land themselves lucrative brand deals, where they may become the fact of an advertising campaign
- Some YouTubers choose to include sponsored content on their channel, which gives them the opportunity to be paid for product placement
- Vloggers also have the option of making and selling their own merchandise
- They can also rake in a fortune from flogging tickets to events and live performances
It's no secret that you can earn a fortune from working on YouTube.
