Mexican Drug Lord Heirs Show off Their Wealth in #Narco Instagram War

Many of us use Instagram not only to update our friends about our latest getaways, or inform them of a snippet of our lives. One of the most useful and addicting feature of Instagram is that it gives us the capability to sneak a peek into the lives of celebrities, our idols or pretty much anyone we take a fancy to follow.

Due to this share-all, bare-all culture in social media, sometimes people try to post pictures to “outdo” one another. And this becomes a “tweet war” or “Insta war”.

A few months back the hashtag #Narcostyle and the IG account #narcoofficial (deleted since then) became trending due to the posts that show the extravagant lifestyle of drug cartel heirs and heiresses in Mexico. These rich, spoiled kids post confirmations of their wealth trying to outdo one another and become “Narco king”.

Generally the posts on their displays of wealth revolve around a few themes:

1. Money
2. Exotic or endangered pets
3. Luxury Cars
4. Deadly weaponry
5. Designer items
6. Women, parties and more women!

See for yourself some examples of those extravagant IG posts below!

Designer bags are expensive enough, but money spilling over those bags? Outrageous!

And there's no more room for these stacks of "blood money"

Money is just used as a blanket to keep their pet tiger warm…

Designer items, weapons and money… just a few of the staples of a Narco-grown lifestyle.

Because these rich kids need to carry their weapons in style…
