The "Falling Stars" challenge is the latest trend sweeping Weibo and Instagram as the elite youth flaunt their wealth on social media. According to South China Morning Post, the trend is also known as the "flaunt your wealth" challenge in Mandarin, and started in Russia before mega-rich Chinese kids adopted it.

Like the "In My Feelings" challenge, you might not want to try this in public. But let's be real, if you have an Aston Martin to fall out of, would you really care about a 200 yuan (US $29) fine?
