Meet #RichTok influencer Skyelar Chase: the Columbia U student is blowing up thanks to her lavish lifestyle, from trips on private jets and stays at Aman, to rocking head-to-toe Chloé at Coachella
A new wave of influencers is taking over social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. Gone are the days of Charli D'Amelio and Addison Rae , who earned their internet fame and fortune through dancing or dramatically lip-synching to the hottest song of the week. These days, the internet has turned its attention to the likes of Becca Bloom , Mei Leung, and Chloe L. who, youth and beauty aside, have two things in common – they're rich and they're Asian. Skyelar Chase has become a popular influencer on TikTok's #RichTok subculture.

The most recent addition to the internet's list of favourite rich Asians is Skyelar Chase. Here is everything you need to know.

Family holidays for the socialite mean private planes, Rimowa luggage , and being ferried around in Cadillac Escalades. Family getaways aside, Chase can be spotted lounging in Aman hotels across the globe or wearing head-to-toe designer gear at fashion week. At Coachella this year, she stunned in a full Chloé look. Unlike fellow #Richtok influencer Becca Bloom, whose outfits are often elevated and corporate, Chase's outfits tend to be more relaxed (though still exorbitant in price).
