Police have launched a hunt for a self-proclaimed ‘rich kid of Instagram‘ who once bragged his family were the ‘British Kardashians’.
Jack Watkin came to fame in 2016 after claiming to have a £1.7million fleet of high-end cars, access to his father’s private jet and had been chosen to appear on a TV show.
The teenager claimed he owned supercars, including Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, Mercedes-Benz, a Porsche and a Range Rover and shared posts of his life on social media.
Speaking about his lifestyle at the time, Jack said: ‘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.’
Eight years later police in Cheshire have launched an appeal to try and find him, claiming he is wanted in connection with an alleged breach of bail conditions.
