Something that gets me is these articles where there's a $180 sandwich or something.
My really limited experience with actually rich people suggests that one of the big things you do with that much money is you get a REALLY AWESOME KITCHEN and it basically pays for itself in no time; really expensive meals are social things or on vacation.
Are there that many rich dudes out there who really are walking, breathing negative stereotypes? Or is this stuff for financial dick size contests or what?
@Leucrotta took me a minute to dig it up, but this article comes to mind frequently https://www.currentaffairs.org/2017/10/more-evidence-that-extreme-wealth-is-totally-indefensible
I'm sure this skews obscene due to being in Manhattan, though
@Leucrotta to your last question, oh yeah, absolutely.
I think it depends on what you count as "rich," maybe? There's a certain level of wealth that's quite unattainable for most people but where people still act reasonable.
But then there's this higher echelon, where people literally have so much money that they can't spend it fast enough, even on worthless social gestures like gold-plated sandwiches. Gross.
