This is the opposite of that joke though. Sure, both demonstrate rich people being out of touch with regular life, but the real life version is even more depression than the joke from the show; things being cheaper than a rich person expects wouldn't necessarily be a problem, but even a billionaire CEO thinking that the cost of a common service (from their own company!) is too high is a pretty clear sign that common people will struggle be able to afford things.
