The romantic comedy-drama film Crazy Rich Asians, based on Kevin Kwan’s English-language novel of the same name, goes on worldwide release from Sunday.
The first trailer for the film, which focuses on the story of a young Asian American woman as she meets her boyfriend's fabulously wealthy parents – reveals the extravagant life of a super-rich Singaporean family.
Of course, the world of “crazy rich” Asians can be seen not only in films: the everyday lives of many of them are revealed on countless blogs on Instagram.
Let’s take a look at the lives of some really rich young Asians – all born with silver spoons in their mouths – who record their lavish lifestyles on Instagram.
Calista and Cleveland Cuaca – and their mother Jamie Chua
Singaporean socialite Jamie Chua and her two children, Calista and Cleveland Cuaca, live a luxurious lifestyle. All of them love to post photos about themselves on Instagram.
The public first became aware of Jamie following her high-profile divorce from her former husband, the Indonesian multimillionaire Nurdian Cuaca, who now pays her child support of US$450,000 a month following their split.
Her daughter, Calista, is a noted Instagram blogger on beauty and fashion with more than 169,000 followers.
As a key opinion leader on streetwear fashion on Instagram, Calista is a frequent guest at fashion shows, where she often wears high-end designer clothes and big, bold statement jewellery that match her urban style.
