Despite the fact that millions of his countrymen and women wallow in poverty, Robert Mugabe is believed to have built up a huge personal fortune from looting the nation's diamond deposits and his inner-circle and their families have flaunted eye-watering riches.
Among the 'Rich Kids of Zimbabwe' are his own sons Robert Jr, 25 and Chatunga Mugabe, 21. The pair have shared pictures of themselves showing off Rolls Royces, Bentleys, £45,000 watches and a private jet.

Zimbabwe’s richest ‘kid’ is Wicknell Chivayo - a controversial businessman with close ties to Mugabe's family - with more than 75,000 followers on Instagram.

His excuse for buying custom-made cars is his ample frame, saying: "I fit comfortably, the seats are easily adjustable."
