So this is what rich guys do with the money they've "aggregated" for themselves? Does this call into question whether they have smarts? Wisdom? Is this a good use of all that extra loot and booty? and, what could car insurance cost? $50-100K/year? Does this make sense? Materialism? False gods?
Add it to the "over-the-top" yachts (Paul Allen now has two, one 414 feet in length, the other over 300 feet), and some rich Arab is building one over 500 feet in length ("Mine is bigger than yours").
Here's one view on it. I first came across the title when I read the book review on the NYT website:
