It's not hard to have a lavish lifestyle AND maintain sensible diplomatic relations with the rest of the world. There's more going on here.
There are only a handful of ways this can play out.
1) The world sanctions them to starvation, at which time desperation drives NoKo to unleash whatever military might it has (currently the 4th largest in the world) to take resources by force.
2) NoKo advances its nuclear program far enough to credibly threaten NATO allies. This would prevent the world from enacting #1 and enable Kim to remain in power indefinitely.
3) Kim embraces democracy, and Trump wins Nobel Peace Prize.
The first two are completely unacceptable, and the third is a fantasy.
