    interesting when every rich person has like 20 personal sycophants, a yacht (100 meter monstrosity feeding like 100 workers during 2-3 years of production), private jet etc. And luxury items are exactly in high labor hours, thats what makes them luxury - you pay global north wages for handcrafted shit, designed appliances, one of a kind systems of all kinds. Its a large industry even if us, being poor, dont interact with it. That's ignoring lawyers on retainers, consultants of all kinds, pr managers.

    In other words bill gates probably makes 10000 people do his bidding on his dime, producing something of relative limited value outside of bill gates.
