    For the foreseeable future life off earth is going to be boring, deadly, uncomfortable and require a high degree of technical skill even from someone who is mostly a passive observer. It does not sound like something that will be attractive to the leisured wealthy aside from the very few who are into extreme sports and bragging rights. You don't see rich people going on six month camping trips in Antarctica and any space colony that isn't in LEO is going to be even more distant, less stimulating and more dangerous.
