Maybe not any income level. Well, you can buy Twitter I suppose. But, yes, you can fly Netjets or whatever, buy supercars, have a bunch of personal staff, and eat out at Michelin-starred restaurants on a regular basis. And burn through certainly multiple $100Ks or even 6 figures annually pretty quickly.

There was once a billionaire in Brazil who blew it all.

Instead of Netjets you can own your own jet(s). Instead of restaurants you can buy them or have the chef come to your house. At the extreme end, you can start a space program.

The sky’s the limit!

Eating from the hand of the same chef all my life? No, thanks.

Having known (tangentially) someone with a live-in chef, I can confirm that they do not supply literally all the meals.

Yeah. I sometimes feel like I'm being a bit extravagant but it's pretty small-scale in the scheme of things. No interest in multiple homes, yachts, jets, etc. Don't even eat out all that much except when I'm relatively modestly traveling.

For all his failings I can't recall Musk ever claiming he lives paycheck to paycheck.
