    It also reveals how bullshit the "well almost none of that wealth is liquid" line is. When you're able to do literally anything you want on credit--either "real credit" from a bank or "smile and handshake" credit from your class status--liquidity has absolutely nothing to do with anything. Bezos or Musk could just buy or do anything by pure fiat, and nobody would ever ask them for a dime.
