9 Enjoying The View
Although Dubai doesn’t have nearly as many high-rise building as New York or Hong Kong, the city is nonetheless on its way to take over the title one day. According to The Mysterious World, Hong Kong has 303 skyscrapers, New York City has 237 and Dubai is coming in at 148, with ongoing new constructions all the time. Dubai is also home to the tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa, which stretches to a whopping 2,717 feet high. For comparison, the second tallest building in the world, the Shanghai Tower is just 2,073 feet tall!
For the rich kid in the picture, it would be no big deal to just take a picture on the side of the balcony. We would like to assume that there was a pool below her, but what if there wasn’t? A casual picture such as this one could easily prove disastrous.
8 Not Made For Walking
In Dubai, the rich kids run the city. According to The Telegraph, “58 per cent of the population is aged 25 to 44, with the majority of people aged 30 to 34.” Meanwhile, just 15% of the population is over 45 years old! Anyone looking for a millionaire to marry would be better off flying over to Dubai instead of Patti Stanger, the Millionaire Matchmaker in California. Not only that, but there are also more men than woman – by a LOT. Out of the 2.5 million population, a whopping 70% are male and 30% are female. That’s a rather shocking statistic, but would it perhaps explain the countless shoes in this picture?
Either way, the rich kids of Dubai hardly need to walk anywhere as they travel in chauffeured cars whenever they need to go anywhere.
7 Never Enough
Rather than focusing on just one quality piece, the Rich Kids of Dubai are instead taught that quantity is quality in quite the literal sense. While average folk may dutifully take care of one expensive watch for 20 years, Dubai parents instead teach their young that they should have every expensive thing that they can possibly get their grubby little fingers on. That’s not all though because as reported by Khaleejtimes.com, Dubai has a “reputation for custom tailoring [jewelry and] is one of the most enticing aspects of the city for those who wish to shun the ‘off-the-rack experience.”
For the Rich Kids of Dubai, it then becomes less about shopping at the largest Dubai mall or buying the latest Yeezy shoes and more about securing one-of-a-kind jewelry that no one else could possibly ever get their hands on. None of it is ever enough though.
