I see this a bit too ** I live near the Cheshire border though. And there's money there!
It's a mix of...
Internet Influencers (people can mock them but they make shit loads.)
Internet content creators - also mocked but also make shitloads. I know (personally) 5 such young people who rake in £100K to £150Kper year (some years even more, like £250K,) purely from their work on the internet. They also get freebies, and get gifted loads of things from various companies for including their products in their videos. Free holidays (abroad) and tech, and clothing, and all sorts.
Daddy's money (and in some cases Mummy's!)
Young sports stars (a few footballers not too far from me.)
Young people who have invested in bitt coin, and been lucky!
Young people who have created something in tech, like an app. My DD is friends with a bloke who invented a particular app around 8 years ago, and he was a millionaire by the age of 25.
Nothing they own (any of the above) is on finance.
(spelt bitt coyn wrong in the hope my post doesn't get hidden!) 😬I'm sure you know what I mean! 😆
Plenty of that going on in the Golden Triangle, in-fact nobody in Alderley Edge bats an eye lid at even at a £3 Million Bugatti Chiron. As for £100 K that is very average there. For Example a top of the range G63 AMG is £210 a Lamborghini Hurrican 280K Plus. £100 K car these days is probably a 'poverty' spec 911..
However, there are a large number of 'certain' types of people driving around in Lambo's that don't even have Driving Licences, let alone Insurance. Make your own mind up about the 'ethnic' make up and god knows what happens if they were to crash or kill someone.
This, bit always astound me that they are people who even if they leased a Lamborghini Hurrican that they would let someone lose without even a driving licence in that car. Similarly, how long do these people expect to go around in such a car without car tax. Years ago it used to be £500 old banger cars that had no tax or insurance. Therefore, away from The Golden Triangle and other areas (though it is a bit unique other than Central London, because Wealthy Southern Areas don't quite have the same Car Culture) a lot of the people driving 'expensive' cars are likely to be very 'Dodgy' to say the least.
Finally, to even 'correctly' be able to afford to lease/PCP a £200 K plus car, you need to be doing seriously well. The, people who say its only 'Leased' have either not got a clue, or more likely very jealous.
