I am no DiCaprio fan, but as a conservative I find it hard to call him out on this. His partying doesn’t hurt anyone who is suffering (any more than anyone earning a high income harms those who make less). The fact that he is in New York, close by those who suffer shouldn’t matter. I am sure he could just fly to the Left Coast and party just as hard, if that would make people feel better.

There is suffering all over the world. Should no one have any fun until all suffering is alleviated? Most would say no.

There are, or ought to be, limits on gluttony and wasteful expenditures of money, but those should be self-imposed. Even if I had the money, you wouldn’t find me living it up that much— probably because I am 55 year old fart who likes it just fine at home with a $5 bottle of wine and a lovely wife....
