There isn't a whole lot that the very rich can spend money on that the average middle class person doesn't already have equivelent to. They can buy a luxury purse fkr $40,000, but a poor woman can buy a near knock off for $40. They can buy a large pool, but someone can just go get gym membership with a pool. A mansion is just a roof over their heads with more rooms. Gold is nust a shiny metal.
So they gotta up the ante in each category of thing. Hard to buy a leopard, lion or tiger. They are like average household cats when young. When they get too big they get rid of them oftentimes. They didn't consider the consequences. Columbia has a hippo problem because of this, Pablo Escobar kept some as pets. After he was killed, they got loose. Now they are everywhere.
