I'm quite certain there's a contingent that are salving their egos with some flavor of narrative around that idea. Thing is I'm reminded of a particular gaping chasm of a human being that used to work for Epic Games. Around the time Gears of War bonus checks started dropping he flipped out and bought a Lamborghini. Shortly after taking delivery he was overheard complaining loudly about not being able to "pull" at the local club and expressing frustration that the car wasn't getting him enough attention. He decided having the car painted radium green would fix everything. We can, of course, pretend folks like him aren't common as grass but then you're stuck having to explain away things like the Hummer H2, or the rando on here that was bragging about dropping five figures on overpriced kitchen appliances until someone pointed out he could have gotten an actual restaurant walk-in for an order of magnitude less...
