It is a strange concept, but there is a point where the ultra-wealthy can’t spend money fast enough.
Buy a lavish home? It will probably go up in value. Ditto for a jet or yacht. Sure the fuel is spent, but the actual ability to spends 10s of millions of dollars is well nigh impossible short of simply giving it to charity. So, the question is what can you spend money on? The world’s finest wines, the world’s greatest restaurants, the finest seats at the opera or Broadway. Unfortunately, none of those things are in Oklahoma City. They are in places like New York, Miami and Los Angeles. Heck, Philly even has better restaurants than OC. There’s not even enough water to park a yacht in Oklahoma City. Maybe Billy D. could gig out one of those land yacht things with the bedrooms that pop out the side when you get to the KOA. That might set him back a million.
