I am truly sorry if my post offended anyone.
Those who have discretionary funds certainly have the right to spend them however they please.
The price just seems so ridiculous to me, no matter how rich one is -- like spending $4,000 on a purse or $1,000 on a pair of shoes.
Maybe I don't understand what exactly one gets for the money. Is it just a prestige thing -- to be able to say I can eat at Club 33? Does the money fund any charities? Maybe someone can explain it to me.
