Constant 'luxury' bragging on social media

My relative has retired and has spent the last six months travelling regularly abroad and has had a number of really quite extravagant and luxurious trips. They regularly post on social media about their travels but the luxury is always so overstated it is starting to grate and seem quite distasteful. Pictures of huge plates of seafood and champagne at expensive restaurants, 'luxury' accommodation with 'private' saunas and 'exclusive' concerts and 'feeling spoilt/blessed'. The excess of it all seems a bit in your face and distasteful, given the fact that they know most of their own family are not very well off and their own kids are struggling to manage financially. I'm happy for people to have treats and enjoy holidays but the constant bombardment and in your face images and videos is so over the top. Do they have no idea how they come across? Are they perhaps narcissistic? Does anyone else have family like this who seem blissfully unaware of how they come across? This person will sometimes tag me and other family members in the posts if we haven't responded enough to ensure we see the posts! Any advice of how to deal with this would be welcome. I really feel for their kids!
