Celebrities aren’t like me and you , no matter how much they insist they are . After all, when your 9-to-5 life consists of private jets and fancy accommodations , it stands to reason that you’ll get a little bit out of touch.
This isn’t to let celebs off the hook, though, because they can be downright obnoxious with their wealth. Case in point: everyone you’re about to read about.
Jake Paul
I know, I know: this one’s almost too easy. But we may as well kick things off with a banger. Jake Paul has made a career out of being obnoxious. Then, once he’d made some money, he extended his career by being obnoxious while simultaneously being incredibly rich.
Henrik Lundqvist
He might not be as well-known as some of the other celebs on this list, but the former New York Rangers goaltender was well known during his career not just for his elite hockey skills, but also for his jet-setting lifestyle.
Soulja Boy
Soulja Boy has made all sorts of Insta posts showing designer gear, big diamonds, and fancy Lambos. But we’re going to feature the most lazy kind of wealth flexing here: simply posing with a fat stack of bills.
Lady Gaga
Gaga is politically progressive, backing a number of good initiatives. This doesn’t mean that she’s above flaunting her wealth, though — far from it, in fact. Insta posts like this one, where she’s seen lounging on luxe Versace bedding, are par for the course.
Drake
To most of us, this is just a picture of an impractical, dumb-looking watch. To Drake, it’s something worth bragging about. I suppose that’s fair, considering the fact that this Richard Mille watch will set the buyer back about $750,000.
Khloe Kardashian
Khloe Karadashian might not be as in-your-face with her wealth as other members of her family, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t flaunt it. She’s a big fan of posting pics like this: no message, but the various luxury items that can be seen in-frame send a message of their own.
Kevin Hart
Kevin Hart’s public persona is downright likable, but he’s also been known to revel in how rich he is on social media. As one of the highest-paid comedians ever with a net worth well into the nine-figure range, he’s clearly quite proud of his private jet.
Floyd Mayweather
Boxing isn’t lucrative for 99% of fighters, but those one-percenters can get some massive paydays. Floyd Mayweather is one of those few. Judging by this Instagram post, he has too much bling (and too many fun trinkets) to wear practically on one wrist.
RELATED STORIES
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj came from humble beginnings, so it makes some amount of sense that she’d want to show off how far she’s come. Still, Insta posts showing off her expensive shoes, diamond necklaces and — who could forget — her ostentatious pink Lambo are a little bit much.
Scott Disick
Anyone in the Kardashian orbit is basically a lock to be obnoxious with their wealth, and Scott Disick is no exception. We have no idea how he got so rich in the first place, but a quick look at his Instagram reveals how willing he is to flaunt his riches.
P. Diddy
Sean Combs has been known to make a statement from time to time, and more often than not, those statements basically communicate to the world how rich he is: in now-deleted posts , he bragged about watching the Super Bowl aboard his private yacht.
Chrissy Teigen
To be fair, this isn’t a Chrissy Teigen thing so much as it’s a Chrissy Teigen’s mom thing. She meant for this to be just a light-hearted observation, but after noticing how many people took it, she issued a clarification and apology .
50 Cent
How much is 50 Cent worth? It’s hard to say, really. I mean, his name is 50 Cent, but he’s probably got more than half a dollar. He also posts pictures with stacks of $100 bills, but those bills spell out ‘BROKE’. He’s sending a lot of mixed messages here.
David Geffen
You just know that a multibillionaire like David Geffen is going to flaunt their wealth, and that’s exactly what he did at the beginning of the pandemic with this tone-deaf Instagram post. Geffen actually faced such a significant backlash after posting this that he quickly scrubbed it from his social media.
Jennifer Lopez
Remember the early days of the pandemic, when we all had to hunker down for the greater good? JLo remembers. It seems like it’s a lot easier to deal with a global pandemic when you have a massive private estate that you can retreat to.
Lil Tay
Here’s an example of a celeb selectively flaunting their wealth. Tay shows off a few bucks in this bathtub, but it isn’t an obscene amount of money. Many people could cash out their savings and come up with a more impressive Insta photo. Lil Tay’s net worth, for the record, is probably around half a million dollars .
Paris Hilton
If you remember the early aughts, you probably remember Paris Hilton, whose personal brand mostly revolved around being obnoxiously rich. Well, you’ll be pleased (maybe?) to see that she’s still at it. She dropped this photo on Instagram showing off a dog house that’s probably nicer than most people’s actual homes.
Kim Kardashian
One of the cringiest brags we’ve ever seen on social media came in the form of this tweet. What party are you talking about, Kim? Does it take that much time to cash a check and move money into a new account? Did anyone ask about any of this in the first place?
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott
Here it is: the item that inspired this whole list . Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott rubbed a lot of people the wrong way when Jenner posted this photo on Instagram to flaunt the fact that they each have a private jet, writing “you wanna take mine or yours?” Have some concern for the environment, Kylie.
Kylie Jenner (again!)
Let’s conclude this list with just a little more of Kylie Jenner being obnoxious wealthy. As if it wasn’t enough to have a private jet that she flaunts, Jenner also put out this TikTok showing just how many nice cars she has in her driveway.
