Rich millennials flaunting their wealth send China head over heels with Flaunt Your Wealth challenge.
Photos and videos show young people posing face down after apparently tripping over while stepping out of their luxury vehicles or private jets. Their possessions are scattered around them following the apparent fall.
The challenge is believed to have originated from Russia where wealthy internet users have used the challenge as a way to show off their luxury goods.
It is believed that more than a million posts of people taking part in the #FlauntYourWealth challenge have appeared Chinese social media Weibo.
With the trend spreading globally, can Africa’s rich millennials catch up?
