From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Whether it's Vietnamese dongs or American dollars, these rich kids are rolling in dough.

The “Rich Kids of X” brand has inspired TV shows, books, and lifestyle websites, and Instagram accounts showcasing how young people in places like Hong Kong, Switzerland, and Dubai enjoy their opulent wealth.

“Rich Kids of Vietnam” features submissions from young, wealthy citizens of the Southeast Asian country known for its delicious food and rich culture going about their business on private jets with designer bags in hand.

Here's how the Rich Kids of Vietnam spend their fortunes.

Instagram's Rich Kids of Vietnam account has over 33,000 followers.

People can't get enough of their luxurious lifestyles.

Some of the “Rich Kids” are actual children.

This boy, for example, is going places.

Others featured on the account are a bit older.

At least they can drive themselves around.

That is, if they don't have someone else do it for them.

Clearly, they have lots of money to burn.

Another day, another shopping spree.

Why not buy the same designer bag multiple times?

Shoe store or walk-in closet?

Food tastes better when dinnertime is indicated on an expensive watch. Or two.

Wine and caviar are always appropriate.

Especially in a steaming bubble bath.
