Nah, it's not that. It's just, well -- what does he have to do to take care of all that? I guess he hires somebody to manage it; then _they_ hire people to do the work, pay the bills, repair the plane, clean, take care of the grounds, cater, do the laundry, handle the payroll, service the planes and keep the maintenance logs, lawyers, worker's comp, lawsuits, employee reviews -- just to maintain that establishment. I guess if you pay enough, it can run itself -- as long as everybody's honest.
Me, if I was that rich, I'd rather just be fancy-free with money in my pocket. Rent or lease what I needed when I needed it, and not let possessions weigh me down. If I wanted somebody to take care of me, I'd have a full-service condo or live in a luxury hotel. Just pay one bill and let someone else handle the details.
And I'd give a ton of money to charity -- probably most of it. Because it only takes about 10 or 20 million to live a truly luxurious lifestyle. Anything above that is just excess, which is why some rich people spend to excess. Me, I'd make my excess pay off for somebody else, and have a lot of fun doing it. There are a lot more creative things to do with money.
