Annoying rich kids who fled fancypants British boarding school found living it up in Caribbean

Font Size:

Rich people are frequently annoying. Even more frequently, their kids are really, exceptionally, slap-worthy annoying.

Take Indira Gainiyeva and Edward Bunyan, a couple of sniveling, jet-setting children of wealthy who attend a fancypants boarding school in England.

Gainiyeva and Bunyan, both 16, decided it would be a good idea to run away from Stonyhurst College in Lancashire last week, reports The Guardian.

The well-heeled playboy and playgirl slipped away from the gorgeous, Gothic campus in the dark of night on or about Jan. 15. They took a taxi to Manchester and then took a couple flights to the Dominican Republic.

They used credit cards to pay for it all.

Once in the Dominican Republic, the coupled headed to a hotel in the perfectly tacky, gloriously inauthentic Punta Cana region because, apparently, they just had to get the beach.

“It can be pretty miserable at a bleak 15th-century Jesuit school in the middle of winter and close friends say they had a bad case of the post-holiday blues,” a source who knew the kids explained, according to The Guardian.

Other kids at the boarding school viewed their escaped peers as “legends.” They tweeted about their whereabouts using the hashtags #WheresIndira and #WheresBunyan.

Lancashire police confirmed that the teens were “safe and well” on Monday.

The head teacher at Stonyhurst, Andrew Johnson, expressed relief that the teens’ vacation nightmare was now nearly over. He thanked “parents and friends of Stonyhurst for their overwhelming support at this difficult time.”

Johnson also noted that Gainiyeva and Bunyan were still in the Dominican Republic as of Monday, “in the care of the police and a family member.”

While it’s unclear who owns the credit cards Gainiyeva and Bunyan used for their transatlantic outing, the teens appear to come from obscenely wealthy backgrounds.

Stonyhurst College is a Jesuit boarding school dating to the 16th Century where fees run almost £30,000 (about $49,000) per year.

On her Facebook page, Gainiyeva says she is from Kazakhstan. Her musical interests include Eminem, Drake, Pitbull and Rihanna. Among the books she likes on Facebook is, fittingly, Romeo and Juliet.

On his Facebook page, Bunyan says his hometown is a large, wealthy gated community in Andalusia, Spain. His favorite musicians include a throng of mainstream and obscure rappers from around the world. His favorite movies include “Knocked Up,” “Jackass” and “Ted.” He hasn’t officially liked a single book but he has liked Taste of Spice, an Indian restaurant in Scotland.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
