There's a joke in Dallas, TX about the $30k/year millionaire. The kind of guy who basically cosplays as super-wealthy in order to fit in, often by going heavily into debt, in a desperate effort to "Fake it till you make it".
Comments like this are catnip to that kind of person.
It's all aesthetics to these people. I'm not even sure they understand WHY things count as displays of wealth, they just do it to blend in like a coo-coo bird.
This is how golf became a popular sport worldwide, isn't it?
