Sarah Jacobs contributed to an earlier version of this post.
Last summer, many of the RKOI had their fun in the sun. Ibiza, the island off the coast of Spain that's gained notoriety as the home of 24-hour clubs and wild beach parties, was one of their destinations ...
... as was Monte Carlo, the gambling spot of choice for the world's high rollers.

They also made time for must-see summer events, like the Royal Ascot in England.
But if the RKOI Instagram account — which has 364,000 followers — is any indication, the summer of 2019 is just as extravagant.
Some of the Rich Kids are waking up in Dubai, which has cemented its status in the world of high-end travel with the world's most luxurious hotel, the $1 billion Burj Al Arab (not pictured).

Others are waking up with breakfast by the pool.
Plenty are spending time out on the water, whether yacht-side in Perast, an old, coastal town in Montenegro that's been described as a "chunk of Venice" ...

... or jacuzzi-side in Mykonos, the glittering Greek island that's been described as the vacation spot of choice for billionaires.

And no summer would be complete for the RKOI without a classic pool shot — like this one in Positano, the colorful, Instagram-famous town on Italy's Amalfi coast.

Celebrities make their appearance on the account, too. Christian Combs, son of Sean Combs, seems to prefer to hit the water via jet ski.
Meanwhile, Tyga stays dry with his Louis Vuitton duffel.
Summer vacation isn't complete without a few lavish trips around the world, like to Montenegro, a tiny European country that's been called "the next French Riviera."

Portofino, Italy, is also a hot spot for the Rich Kids.
And so is Switzerland, where @alexandremourreau is exploring via Bugatti.
Some of the Rich Kids get around via the luxury of a private jet.
Others have the luxury of their own personal plane, like the four-seater Diamond DA40.
Meanwhile, others are shopping luxury brands until they drop, whether that's Gucci ...
... or German luxury watchmaker A. Lange & Söhne, whose timepiece line can exceed $50,000.
