Very expensive prep school / international school for their children Exclusive sports with high barriers to entry (sailing, equestrianism) All these for the status signalling. Are these earned? Or bought?

Reminds me of rich people remaining in denial about how privileged those are that made them rich ;) “Joe and Brian started Airbnb because they couldn’t afford rent.”
