IMO you can't buy social status the same way that you buy a macbook. This is the reason why you see a lot of kids of wealthy families flail around forever trying to "make their mark" despite having the power that wealth bestows on them. For whatever reason, they cannot get the people they really admire to take them seriously or even acknowledge their existence and it drives them mad. You can throw an impressive amount of money on things and earn the admiration of certain kinds of people. But those tend to be the same people who will flock to _any_ person with the same kind of wealth. So you have to live with the fact that these "friends" like you only for your wealth and not for _you_. But maybe that's fine if its what you're looking for.
