A show I watched It was about a Real Estate Broker who sells homes of the Ultra Wealthy. It's astounding the things people pay and the reasons they pay for various things. As the woman said, some units can go up as much as 25% based on who has lived there. I tried to wrap my mind around that, but it was very challenging for me to think of why I'd pay extra because someone live there before. some of the places, looked like they'd be better used as Hotels, rather than as individual homes. I can't see any reason in my way of thinking as to why I'd need 11 bathrooms. or very large acreage, just to say my house is surrounded by that. I'd be more interested in what productive usage could the land be better used for. Even it if its to build more units on, but in these areas, the rules won't allow that. Even if I came to be the holder of a few $100 million dollars or billions, I just don't see where I'd spend it in those ways., I can see a variety of business ventures that I'd be interested in, including establishing a technical school for young people, Investing in developing better facilities for senior citizens, and building up some areas where things have a need. I do see a good benefit in having a good helicopter. But maybe not a personal jet, because that can always be chartered or leased. I'm sure I'd not own a Yacht. If someone is telling me that a so called "free Rolls Royce" comes with the home, I don't think I'd believe it as being free, by some means its wrapped in the cost. What I do find interesting is people spend a lot of money to build these homes, and then they want to sell it.. I can see that if they built it with intent to sell as being in that line of business. But not as a claim of being a custom home for myself, and then sell it..I don't see the point. They showed all these multimillion dollars apartments that many Chinese were buying for the as a dorm while they attend school. I wonder, are they going to school to learn something, or is it just to add another status based label to their self concept? I guess the act of having massive money brings with it in some people some very different concepts about things. As there seems to be no shortage of ultra wealthy people globally, who follow this same type of programmed living and acquisitions mindset. I guess when there is billions, the fact of things costing a few million or even a 100 million, its just something to do.

I'm not much for the Jet Setter Types. I remember years ago, on various vacations.. I'd see people go stay at these really expensive hotels... I would find myself one that was nice, clean and safe. I could not see spending all that money, just to say I stayed at some particular place... I was more interested to go about the place and do stuff that I wanted to do and I do things that fit my budget, so I don't have to panic when I return from the trip. I know life goes on, after the vacation is done with. I remember the first time I went to Hawaii, I walked out on the sand, and it was "hot", all I wanted to do was get off the 'hot" sand... but there were thousands of people laying out in the sun... To me that means nothing and I just can't see myself just laying out there. Now early or late evening, it might be nice to sit there and take in the sites when the temperature has gone down and the evening atmosphere is nice in my terms of what is nice for me. But, what ever makes others happy is fine, but I don't think that I need to do stuff just because that is what the bulk of people are doing.
