What type of people own high-high-end gear?

I think there is a difference between rich and super rich. I agree that wealthy people (a couple of million) still tend to have one foot in the same world as the rest of us. But the super rich live on a different planet. I've mixed with them and they wouldn't drink a bottle of wine for less than 5k. Different ballgame, different mentality. A few million in the back is nothing special - but I'd like it!

Haha, yes it's different, all right - truly pathetic! What vulgar and pretentious snobs they are [said as someone who consumes and knows all about fine wine].

Honestly, such folk are beyond risible, almost pitiable. For them, it's all about portraying an image (I suspect often due to self-esteem issues). And yes, it's the 'super rich' I was referring to earlier, with more wealth than they know what to do with.
