As the daughter of multi-millionaires, this Chelsea teenager has lived a life of unimaginable privilege.
But in this week's episode of Rich Kids Go Skint, Yasmine, 19, has a taste of life on benefits, as he moves in with a young family who survive on just £520 a month, after fleeing their native Mexico to escape drug cartels and violence.
The cameras follow Yasmine - who has a wardrobe stuffed with designer bags and clothes, splurges up to £800 a week on nights out, and enjoys five holidays a year including stints on her family's superyacht - as she navigates life on a budget; even using a washing machine for the first time ever.
Living with Sheila, 24, and her husband Miguel, along with their two daughters Kiara and Kylie in their council flat in Welwyn Garden City, Herfordshire, comes as a shock to the pampered university student, who realises she has to learn how to prepare a week's worth of meals for a family of four on a budget of just £40.
Yasmine tells the cameras the humbling experience made her 'appreciate' everything she has.
In this week's Rich Kids Go Skint, Yasmine (pictured), 19, from Chelsea, London, left behind her life of privilege to see what life is like on benefits
During the experiment Yasmine used a washing machine for the first time (pictured) and learned how to stretch a budget
Yasmine said she applied to the Channel 5 series so she could understand how other people live, because she knew that she'd been very 'lucky' to have such a privileged lifestyle.
Arriving at the flat, Yasmine is shocked by the difference in the area compared to upmarket Chelsea, saying she doesn't like the browns and beige shades of the surrounding buildings, and musing on why their aren't any furniture shops in the area.
Sheila explains that she had no choice about where to live, and because the family has no car they often spend their days indoors. However, life in their cramped two bedroom house is preferable to the one they left behind in Mexico when she was just nine-years-old.
Sheila explains: 'We left, me my mum and my dad, we chose to leave because Mexico was becoming very dangerous. There was a lot of crime, we were at risk a lot of the time. There was a lot of violence... the cartels [what you hear] it’s 100 per cent true. My mum brought us here to have a safer upbringing.'

Yasmine admits to being shocked by Sheila's description of Mexico, as she had only heard of people going on nice holidays there.
'Where I was brought up, in the same neighbourhood, I heard of a couple of people I know personally, of their children being snatched, it hit pretty close to home,' Sheila replies.
'Here in the UK it is a lot safer, I do feel a lot safer. I feel very fortunate and very lucky my mum and dad made the decision to come here because now I'm blessed to bring up my daughters here. Bringing up my daughters there I'd be in constant fear, like I had to hide.'
Sheila's story about fleeing Mexico resonates with Yasmine, who says: 'It's really eye-opening that she’s only 24 and she been through so much in her life, especially with the stories in Mexico.

'She seems like such an amazing mum, she wants to do everything for her children so I think she’s a role model for a young woman.'
During filming Sheila enlisted Yasmine's help to run her home; and the show follows her as she changes a nappy and puts on a load of washing for the first time.
Yasmine is also forced to sleep on the sofa because there were no spare beds in the flat.

Yasmine had to learn how to change a nappy (pictured), which she'd never done before and took her ten minutes to complete
She was also tasked with spending the family's £40 food budget (pictured) which is meant to last them a week
It's all a far cry from Yasmine normal life, which she admits is very privileged.
A tour around her Chelsea apartment reveals a flat screen TV in her living room along with shelves stacked with champagne, which she describes as her 'happy drink'.
In her wardrobe is a £2,000 Gucci Marmont bag, a custom made dress from the exclusive King's Road in Chelsea, and a seemingly endless collection of designer clothes.
When she was 18 she was given a Rolex watch for her birthday and her parents gave her a Mini convertible when she passed her driving test at 17-years-old.
She also cooked breakfast and dinner for the couple (pictured) after admitting that she has dinner out around three times a week
Yasmine admitted that she doesn't like the browns and beiges of the buildings in the family's local area. Pictured: Yasmine with Miguel and Sheila and their two daughters
The family has a summer home in Marbella, she goes on holiday five times a year and this summer they spent a month travelling around Europe on a superyacht.
Yasmine says: 'Growing up at school, all my friends, we’ve all been very privileged and I think its important to view life from all sorts of angles.
'You never know what happens, money can come and go and you have to wary in life, you can’t just be oblivious and live in your own bubble.'

Yasmine paid for Sheila to have driving lessons to give her more freedom and said she wanted to stay in touch
At the end of the show, Yasmine reveals she's paying for Sheila to have driving lessons so she can have more freedom.
Yasmine says: 'I'm taking away how much I appreciate my lifestyle and family and being able to see my family whenever I want.
'She's so young and she has a lot on her hands. I will always remember their family and I hope to keep in touch with them all.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
