15 Gold Is No Big Deal
Gold is the number one preferred “color” by the Dubai rich kids. If you can get anything you own gold-plated or entirely in gold (even better), then you have officially outdone your friends. With how commonplace gold is though, it’s actually turning into being not such a big deal anymore. According to The Telegraph, Gold to Go ATM machines allow anyone to simply walk up to any of these machine in any Dubai mall and “buy anything from a “2.5-gram, 24-karat gold coin to a one-ounce gold bar”.
Can you imagine casually walking away with a couple of gold bars in your hands, the same as you would walk away with a couple of dollar bills from a regular ATM? The prices at the Gold to Go ATM are also competitive as they update every 10 minutes to keep up with the “fluctuations in the market.”
14 …It’s Everywhere
Gold shoes, gold iPhones, gold cars and of course gold jewelry… there isn’t much that can’t be gold-plated in Dubai. As a result of their parents’ obsession with the metal, the rich kids of Dubai have in turn inherited the gold-seeking attitude, pushing it to new limits. Whereas their parents were merely satisfied with gold décor items and gold jewelry, the rich kids of Dubai have now embarked on a trend of gold-plated teeth, also known as grillz. The question of where to buy gold teeth grillz in Dubai, UAE is often asked on the web, but those who truly want to get the authentic look, consult with a dentist instead.
Gold may be all the rage in Dubai, but the city wasn’t always so gold-centric. According to The Telegraph, Dubai used to be a “fishing, farming and pearl diving” city in the early 20th century.
13 Just Walking Her Pet Tiger
As reported by CNN, “ownership of exotic pets has long been considered a status symbol across the Gulf country”, but cheetahs, tigers and lions have been banned in the UAE from being owned as pets since early 2017. As you can see from this picture of a young girl walking a pet cheetah (and there are more on the web), it hasn’t stopped the rich kids from showing off their cute pets off anyways.
Despite the ban, the rich parents are wealthy enough to be able to smuggle anything they want into the country and would be able to provide a private area large enough to suit their needs without authorities catching them. Even if they were to get caught, they can just as easily pay the right people to turn look the other way.
