I mean, look at Jeff Bezos He didn't just get a yacht, he got a super yacht and replace it with a mega super monster yacht. Dude, what are you compensating for?
And he basically wanted to rent the best parts of Venice for his wedding? Seriously? Shouldn't you be doing something productive like with all that money like, oh FIXING YOUR FARKING ROCKET? Your little hopper rocket is cute and everything but how about something that can get to orbit and deliver your stupid satellites? Haw about PAYING PEOPLE A LIVING WAGE? A private plane I can understand: he's a business man with far flung holdings. Fast transportation without having to mingle with the dirty masses that feed your empire probably counts for something.
How many houses does he own? A Google search shows he has for a half a BILLION dollars in real estate! Five New York City apartments,two homes in D.C., three mansions in Beverly Hills, a ranch near his launch site (at least that makes sense) and probably more. WTF? How much time does he actually spend in each one? Does he even know the layout of each one? He probably needs a GPS unit to find the bathroom each time he moves. From what I understand, hoarders tend to collect stuff that *might* be usable or fixable but they never have time to mess with any of that because they're busy collecting more stuff! Now I'm sure that all of Bezos' homes, offices, yachts and other items are useful but does he actually realize how much he has? Hoarders tend to forget until it's clean up time then everything is Important and Valuable and they Must Keep It.
When does the impulse to have MOAR and MOAR stop from being simple greed to a mental illness?
