The rich don't buy much stuff relatively to their wealth. When you're a billionaire all of life's basics are effectively free. And there are only so many houses, private jets, and super yachts you can buy. In any case your first, second, third, and fourth home will be owned by a corporation based in the Cayman Islands and buried under an opaque list of shell companies, all of which you also own via cut-outs, one or two of which may be actual registered and regulated banks, which mortgage the properties back to you so you can play games with interest rate arbitrage. And all of this will be handled by a small personal mini-corporation employing tens of tax experts, lawyers, creative accountants, and investment managers, so you probably aren't even interested in the details.
