Instagram has always been a platform for users to flaunt their wealth.  But few are able to make me feel as jealous or as insignificant as Ben Baller of IfandCo.  Acclaimed jeweler to the stars, Ben has lived true to his name by catering to the unquenchable thirst for bling of the rich and famous.  His clientele list is almost as large and impressive as his ego.  Justin Bieber, Paris Hilton, A$ap Rocky, Rob Kardashian, Pusha T, and many other heavy-weights in the music and entertainment industry are all Ben's loyal patrons.  His Instagram gallery is a testament to his success and the many perks that having money and connections can bring a person.  Whether he's sitting court-side at the lakers, lounging in his top-floor LA loft furnished with an impressive collections of Kaws Bearbricks (which for those who don't know are highly sought-after highly expensive sculptures crafted by artist Kaws), or eating and clubbing at some of the world's hottest spots, Ben certainly knows how to live the highlife and has no qualms about letting his followers know this.  Although at times his attitude could use a bit of an adjustment, it's almost understandable given just how extravagant his lifestyle is.  The phrase 'more money, more problems' just doesn't seem to apply to Ben Baller.  As much of a temptation as it is to hate on the guy and call him a cocky douche, which he most certainly is and regularly admits, there's no denying that his formula for success has worked and worked well.  His Instagram lets viewers feel as if they too are along for the wild ride--albeit not in any of his tricked out rides that include a fleet of impressive Bentleys or Rolls Royces whose keys he often adorns with a few carats worth of diamonds, you know, just 'cuz he can.  Give his gallery a look (try not to cry too much) and also check out his blog (which is surprisingly well written and thorough) over at www.ifandco.com.

Think about what you were like when you were 12 years old...think hard.  For the majority, this probably conjures up painful images of uncomfortable interactions with the opposite sex and the occasional bed-wetting.  I know I personally was an awkward, annoying little shit who didn't know cool even if I flipped over my own pillow.  Not the case for Steven Fernandez aka Baby Scumbag the professional skateboarder and for lack of a better word, pimp, who gets girls hotter than I ever will despite the fact that his balls likely haven't even descended yet.  However, this minor setback doesn't seem to hamper Baby Scumbag's mojo at all, who's quite possibly the coolest 12 year old to ever exist.  If his photos aren't of him joking and hanging around with some of the world's top street-skaters, they're  of him sandwiched between curvaceous women twice his age and usually half naked.  It's honestly inspirational.  He calls Mac Miller and even the likes of Kreayshawn (gucci gucci, louie louie, fendi fendi...you get it) his friends.  He even just received a custom made diamond pinky rings emblazoned with his sponsor DGK's name hand crafted by the infamous Ben Baller (who we will profile shortly). I mean c'mon it's not even fair!  But Steven isn't just a cute little kid who somehow found his way to the top of the skate world for no reason, the little guy actually shreds!  This is only the start of his career and expect to see much more of his adorable little face in the near future.  He just better pray that the acne train misses his station after he turns 13.  Make sure to click follow and oh, I forgot to mention, he also makes hilarious youtube videos which you can watch at www.youtube.com/babyscumbag.

Famed rap super-star and cultural icon Soulja Boy is the first user whose gallery is worth taking a gander at.  Despite his very questionable skills as an MC, it seems that Soulja Boy's career is suffering very little from what most would consider a career-ending handicap in the music industry.  With 2620 photos and 738k followers, his gallery shows little sign of slowing down.  Wether he's flaunting his newest diamond encrusted Rolex,  sipping on huge cups of liquid Codeine  or gearing up for floor-side seats at a laker's game, it's easy to see why Soulja's gallery is so popular.  It's not uncommon for him to post multiple photos a day, sometime's multiple photos an hour, giving Soulja's Instagram followers a very up close and personal insight into his outrageous and often opulent daily affairs.  Instead of falling by the way-side as so many one-hit-wonders have before him, Soulja's Instagram would indicates that he's more relevant (and richer) than ever.  Frequent cameos by other rap heavyweights like Wiz Khalifa, Rick Ross, Sean Kingston, Chief Keef, and more, keep his gallery engaging and further  solidifies Soulja Boy's reputation as one of the rap-game's most vibrant and interesting players.  If you haven't checked out his page, I suggest you go over and follow him immediately.  He rarely disappoints.
