It's a bit more sobering when you hear how Warren Buffett eats - like a 6 year old would if he was a billionaire. Tons of soda, ice cream, a diabetic nuclear bomb of a diet really. Those with means have different conspicuous consumption choices though, and that's awful difficult to ignore. A watch isn't the same thing as food - not every billionaire would wear a watch necessarily, but we must all eat. The usual dot com millionaire might buy a nice car like any other random person would, but I really doubt that most lottery winners would buy something like a NetApp SAN to use at home for file storage (I would anyway, and I'm really lame in most of the the consumer choices I make typically).
