‘Rich kid of Instagram’ fined £249 after hit-and-run while illegally driving mum’s £70K Range Rover
A SELF-PROCLAIMED “Rich Kid of Instagram” who boasted of owning a fleet of supercars has been fined after a hit-and-run smash while driving his mum’s plush Range Rover.
Watkin – who was within his two year “probation period”- was slapped with £115 in costs and surcharges and handed six points. Watkin reached social media stardom in 2016 when at the age of 17 he claimed to be the proud owner of a car collection boasting a Rolls Royce, Bentleys, two Mercedes-Benz, a Range Rover and a Porsche.
Prosecutor Eileen Rogers told the court: “There was a minor road traffic collision with a red single decker bus. Watkin's lawyer Jeremy Spencer said: “The vehicle is owned by Miss Stringfellow, she and Mr Watkin’s father are in a relationship and Mr Watkin lives with her at her address.
