what statement is he even trying to make here? complaining that the rich pay too much in taxes?
It's supposed to be an edgy ironic statement about having wealth
The more money a person has, the more they spend. Hence why it's expensive to have money
So like is he trying to criticize rich people for spending their money? Even that's pretty stupid because hoarding wealth is worse.
I think he's a hack artist who uses shock value because he has nothing interesting to say, so maybe trying to make sense of this is pointless.
He's not trying to criticize rich people or make any sort of statement
Designer fashion is often ironic, edgy, and controversial just for the aesthetics
i'd say it's more difficult to be frugal when one has greater purchasing power.
