You're probably just not disgustingly rich.

I don't don't see why a sizable bank account would make one desire to put on a clown nose.

If you were poor and threw your money at sucker-bait, I might not bully you for it, because the price of the item is punishment enough already.

But if you're rich and buying that, I'm definitely bullying you.

I'm of the same opinion when I see the dime a dozen Mercedes or BMW in the middle/middle upper class ends of town. I can understand getting an AMG Merc or M series BMW if you have the money, but the average luxury brand 60 to 80k car that is parked every other parking spot with the owner maxxed out on leverage just seems foolhardy to me.

To each their own I suppose?

Even if I was a billionaire I would still want to maximize the value I’m getting as much as possible.

many wealthy people are penny-pinchers in daily life

Interestingly, this is the exact (typical) mindset that billionaires have which contributes so much to extreme wealth inequality.

They're billionaires because they don't waste their money? I don't think so. They're billionaires because they invest in companies that provide shed loads of value to their customers, so their stock is worth more.
