I've always been obsessed with how the super rich live different lives than everyone else. And the extent to which they can't.
I once wrote something for Wired about how the rich can't get a better OS than the rest of us (the wayback machine has it) but if they could it would just be people. That's apparently how Larry King has a better twitter than the rest of us.

And on Friday at Coffee Morning Flora told me of Yellowstone which we started watching yesterday and this seemed related:
“Leverage is knowing if someone had all the money in the world… this is what they’d buy.” - John Dutton (Kevin Costner) #Yellowstone pic.twitter.com/PR4Y8mo4ip

And then I was reading Garner's Quotations and came across:
"Real wealth is never having to spend time with assholes" - John Waters
and
"The best things in life are free. The second best things are very, very expensive" - Coco Channel
Incidentally Coffee Morning this week will be at 10am on Friday. Same link as below. It will be free. Or it will be very, very expensive.
