yup. People who are really wealthy (especially inherited wealth) look at money differently than normal folk do.

If I were to hit one of those really big lottos, one thing I'd splurge on is a nice perpetual mechanical watch. I'd expect to pay $40-50k for it. Will it keep time better than a $20 Timex? No. I just admire the absolute dedication to the craftsmanship that it takes to implement our freaky-assed calendar and time system based on nothing more than gears driven by a single spring. It won't even hurt when I write the check.
