Still we can agree on the fact a millionaire living at hotel mom sounds outrageous.

Sounds outrageous, but it can also be clever in a counter-intuitive way.

It's sounds outrageous to ears that value individualism and "independence" over community and family ties. Money is typically an enabler for independence in such societies, so a millionaire who doesn't use their money to acquire "independence" from their mom seems like an oddity.
