Vulgar display of wealth? Who died and made you arbiter of what isn't a good use of money? Do you have any idea how many middle-class jobs went into building that yacht?

I'm an HVAC mechanic and have had pretty steady work at a house that has been under reno for the past 2 years. Guy is VERY rich, house is ridiculous, remodel is millions of dollars +. He has kept at least 150 guys working 40+ hours a week for the past 2 years.
