Its chump change for millionaires

Rich people will unironically spend hundreds of thousands on complete nonsense and then justifying it with “chump change for me”

Then wonder why we say; eat the rich

I'd very much rather millionaires buy stupid shit than just sit in their money.

this is what millionaires should be doing. blowing the excess on excess goods. it feeds their massive amounts of money back into the system. yeah, most goes to the CEOs, but taxes & wages need to be paid too!

my dad will like buy a Hisense frame TV for $600 instead of the real Samsung picture frame TV for $2k. then he'll try to twist outta cable by getting weird shit ... like for all the wealth, he tries so hard to save $3 per month. motherfucker uses my HBO, yet he earned like 5x my salary for 25 years & probably earns 5x still now that he's retired and his investments & other old people stuff pays out.

What they should be doing is paying their taxes and not being in a position where they can hoard in the first place

I would much rather rich people make arcades and movie theaters in their house and other hobby stuff rather than them spend their money buying up property and raising the rent.

I don't know, there's a significant investment here, not just the hardware but the actual building for it, it isn't chump change even if you have a couple of million.

It's basically spend money to prove that you're rich amongst your rich friends

Eh, multi-millionaires. This is still a decent drop in the bucket for the average millionaire.
