Story summary

The wealthy elite have never had more wealth and are now enjoying their luxurious lifestyles in full view of the public. Social media influencers have been sharing photos and updates from their lavish vacations, while private companies have emerged to cater to the needs of the rich, including helping with admissions to exclusive private schools and even naming their luxury yachts. This increased visibility has made it impossible for ordinary people to look away from the extravagance of the wealthy few.
