Welcome to the world of Zimbabwe's wealthy young elite, where silver plated Rolls-Royces and private jets lined in gold are just the norm - and showing off your tens of millions are essential social media viewing.
There are the sisters dubbed the 'Zimbabwean Kardashians' - flaunting their wealth around in the poverty-stricken nation, as well as Church preachers, or 'prophets' as they like to call themselves, showing off fancy cars and bundles of fifty dollar bills.
The pictures are all the more astonishing for since the economy has been decimated in the last two decades and inflation is currently running at 348 per cent.
While the military has taken over the country and are currently negotiating President Robert Mugabe's exit, these filthy rich youngsters are showcasing their wealth all over their social media.
Top of the list is Mugabe's notorious sons Robert Jr, 24, and Chatunga, 20. In September, the former bought two Rolls Royce.
His brother Chatunga regularly hits the African headlines as one of the continent's most outrageous spenders.
Two weeks ago, a video emerged of him pouring a bottle of Ace of Spades champagne over his diamond-encrusted Rolex watch. Chatunga tells his Instagram followers, with a less than subtle picture of his diamond encrusted Rolex: '$60,000 on the wrist when your daddy run the whole country ya know'.
But they're not the only ones spending big in a country where 93 per cent of the nation live below the poverty line.
The so-called 'Zimbabwe Kardashians' - Vanessa Chironga and her sister Michelle, both 28 - are daughters of property mogul and politician Philip Chiyangwa, a 'nephew' of Mugabe, who is worth $280 million.
Claiming to live 'humbly', Michelle drives around in a $100,000 Victoria Beckham 2013 edition Land Rover while Elle had a $65,000 wedding and honeymoon in Seychelles, claiming: 'It was actually a low-cost wedding.'
Expensive fur, lion-skin handbags, and even gold designer high heels on top of Michelle's birthday cake - nothing is too extravagant. Vanessa's Instagram is @Mrsc_Blessed (15.5k followers) and Michelle's @wegettinmcmoney (17.9k followers).
@Its_sirsid shows off his various holidays around the world in private jets, yachts and a steady stream of ridiculously expensive cars.
Recently, he posted a picture of him next to a yellow Lamborghini, telling his 147,000 followers: 'Money is an intellectual entity, it doesn't enjoy the company of fools.'
When he's moves from city to city, he will often let his 81,800 followers he's in town, advertising his spectacular parties, which includes a $17,000 all-white party and dropped another $32,000 on his 28th birthday flying friends from Zimbabwe to Botswana. He posts pictures of all his car keys to his luxury fleet from Porsches to Bentleys.
Zimbabwe's richest 'kid' is Wicknell Chivayo, or Sir Wicknell, as he likes to be known to his 75,400 followers. The larger-than-life character, in every possible way, likes to post all his luxuries online. His excuse for buying custom-made cars is that 'I fit comfortably, the seats are easily adjustable' for his ample frame.
