Britain’s ‘rich kid of Instagram’ who boasts of ‘unlimited funds’ & £1.7m car collection is WANTED by cops over fraud
A MAN who called himself “a rich kid of Instagram” is wanted by cops over fraud.
Jack Watkin, 25, reached social media stardom in 2016 when at the age of 17 he claimed to be the proud owner of a car collection worth £1.7million.
He boasted a Rolls Royce, Bentleys, two Mercedes-Benz, a Range Rover and a Porsche.
The rich kid said the flash fleet was bought for him by his minted parents earning them the nickname “the British Kardashians“.
But now Cheshire Constabulary are appealing for information from the public to help trace Watkin.
He reportedly breached his bail conditions for a recent charge of fraud.
A spokesman for the force said: “Police are appealing for information from the public to help trace a wanted man from Alderley Edge.
“Jack Watkin is wanted on breach of bail conditions.
“The 25 year-old is described as white, around 5ft 9ins tall, of medium build, with dark brown hair and green eyes.
“Watkin resides in Alderley Edge, but is known to visit London on a regular basis.”
Watkin previously bragged that he had once splashed out £500,000 on a Bvlgari watch.
His gloating led to him being offered a slot on a planned TV show called The Majors.
He told The Sun: “I’m used to people being jealous of me – whether they’re teenagers or adults! I can handle all the envy.
“I know my life is different to other teenagers because I’m very blessed. I don’t have to worry about jobs and I have unlimited funds.
“But my life is not easy. My dad has worked very hard to make sure I can have all these nice things.
“Our private jet doesn’t just fly itself; our pool doesn’t just clean itself; all my cars don’t automatically fill themselves with petrol.”
In 2019 he was fined after a hit-and-run smash while driving his mum’s plush Range Rover.
Anyone who sees Watkin, or has information regarding his whereabouts is asked to report it via the website, quoting IML-1697211 or call Cheshire Constabulary on 101.
Alternatively, information can be reported anonymously, via Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111.
