We've had this nonsense going on here at our place in CA for a number of years. Our youngest ( and single) daughter and her friends left early Friday with a U-haul van ( they are a sponsor) and a Suburban with enough $hit to stay a month. Two of the males in the group are Nuclear Physicists at Lawrence Berkeley lab, three others are Engineering Students at UC Berkeley. And a couple of fathers and uncles are going as well. Two years ago, I had to go to Gerlach and rescue them when the guy who was towing our trailer left because of some kind of disagreement. To their credit. the promoters got us to 12 mile road ( the service entrance to the Playa thus avoiding the literally ten thousand cars that were leaving via 8 Mile road). We were "led" to the campsite by a BM "Ranger" ( i.e. a bearded old coot in a clapped out Toyota land cruiser who went by the name "Ranger Coyote"). He managed to get lost, but while we were "refreshing" or directions, he was joined by "The Girl with the Golden Breasts" ( a more than amply endowed gal clad only in short shorts, who needed "help" finding her lost bicycle). Coyote came back when we were finally ready to leave and took us back out via 12 mile road, thus avoiding the 15 hour wait to leave the Playa. Everyone should probably put Burning Man on their bucket list. And you are right about the "wealthy" showing up. Lots of trailers and motor homes and they also set up a runway for light planes.

You flyin’ in? LOL! If so, dip your wings as you fly over my house.

I have a buddy that goes (20th year) and sets up his camp early. He says his camp now has a YUGE generator so no one that visits his and his pals camp will be uncomfortable. Yeah, capitalism sucks. He is a big time bernie type supporter. Hates Trump etc.
