I said this on another thread and I'll say it again here. There is nothing inherently wrong or decadent about eating a $175 hamburger.

Everything is relative. An executive making $875,000 a year spending $175 on this hamburger is no different than a taxi cab driver making $40,000 a year eating a $8 hamburger lunch at Applebees. Do the math, it's the exact same proportion of income.

And if you were Donald Trump getting this hamburger, you'd be slumming because that $175 hamburger is a much smaller slice of his income.

The bottom line is, if you can afford to eat this hamburger, than you should be proud of yourself and you deserve to have the very best.

$875,000 a year is before the bonus
