34 Celebs Who Flaunted Their Wealth In The Face Of The Coming Recession That Prove Just How Out Of Touch They Are
US inflation is at a record high, and people are struggling to make ends meet. A lot of people are having trouble finding affordable housing, paying off student loans, or even being able to afford enough gas to make it to their job.
Meanwhile, many celebrities seem to live in their own little bubble where none of this is happening. Their high incomes and separation from the rest of society have led to them posting some pretty out-of-touch things on social media — especially having to do with their wealth.

Now, celebs have done this for a long time, but people are increasingly sensitive about it due to many's current money struggles. Here are just 34 photos celebs have posted on IG that mayyybe should've waited until after the coming recession — or just stayed in the drafts.
I'm only including photos from the last year or so, except for a Logan Paul exception that...well, you'll see for yourself.
