And none of it detracts from the main point, like you were saying. Being rich takes things into another world, to where comparisons to normal budgets don’t really capture the essence of what is going on or how it is being experienced by the rich person.
I chose net worth because I think at around the $100 million mark, realized income in any given year gets fairly meaningless compared to longer term trends, including in unrealized gains/losses in one’s net worth.
But nothing truly captures what it’s like to have money like this. These people treat money like points in a video game.

You know what, that’s fair. My error.
