The conditioning begins early. Take Sienna Miller. Days after giving birth to a baby girl, she went for a stroll around London with her newborn swaddled in an Artipoppe carrier made of vicuña and cashmere that retails for $3,800. Then, of course, there is Cardi B’s five-year-old, Kulture, reigning princess of Instagram’s rich kids. (She has her own account, @kulturekiari, with 2 million followers.)
