fe39a2db03627eacd1cf28c3c54c5769


If you are an avid Instagram user who enjoys stalking the richest people in Singapore, chances are, you might have already seen some of them on your explore page.

Ever wondered how it’s like to be the rich and famous in Singapore? Yachts, luxurious cars, branded bags are what dominates their Instagram feed.

Just like us regular folks, they have their hobbies in which they enjoy. What sets us apart from them is that theirs cost way more than ours do. Whether it is jet-setting to exotic countries or collecting branded bags or shoes, these people have the means for such expensive hobbies.

It comes as no surprise that their monthly expenditure exceeds the allowance of a typical Singaporean millennial by multiple times.

Here’s a list of 5 rich Singaporeans and what they spend their money on:

#1 Kim Lim (@kimlimhl)

Who? Ex-wife of Indonesian multi-millionaire Nurdian Cuaca
Obsession: (Hermes) Bags

Despite being a mother of 2 teenagers, Jamie Chua’s extensive Hermes bag collection garners her 455k followers on Instagram, more than anyone else on this list. The former SIA girl owns over 200 Hermes bags, topping the list for the most number of Hermes Birkin bags in the world. This “Queen of Instagram” has most of her Instagram outfit shots taken by her two helpers. Besides her extensive bag collection, she collects branded shoes and accessories as well – all kept in her walk-in wardrobe so big that every girl would envy.

For rich people with plenty of money to spare, their spending can be justified by their allowance or even, income. Spending is not something that only the rich is guilty of, but most of us average Singaporeans as well. Be it an average Singaporean’s hobby in purchasing new tech products or sneakers, or these rich people’s hobby in collecting $8,000 shoes, at the end of the day, many of us are spending proportional to how much we can afford to. Before you start to criticize on their spendings, know that we are not that different from them after all.

Bags, shoes, travel or something else? What kind of lifestyle would you choose if you had as much access to money as them?

Parents contribute in terms of taxes and employing hundreds of serfs. So the families have done their part for the country.

Everyone has to pay taxes so what?in fact the poor pays more taxes thanks to all the hidden,regressive taxes.

Also they don't employ serfs,consumers employ serfs,if consumers don't spend any money on businesses,businesses have no money to employ anybody,they go bankrupt and delist that's the end of that.also companies don't hire serfs for nothing,they only hire serfs if there's money to be made.this ain't a charity.all companies seek to hire as little serfs as possible or hire cheaper better faster instead.

I believe they are the epitome of what 95% of sinkies aspire to become.to hate them is to hate ur future self which is pretty ironic and juvenile.

This place belongs to the rich and foreigners!
The rest are HDB dwellers toiling until 65 years old so that they can "retire" in their 2 room flexi flat.
