Now that's a whole new can of worms and risks all sorts of political disputes but the 1% wouldn't bat an eyelid at this sort of money. In fact they need this sort of nonsense to spend it on to somehow justify to themselves their accumulation of wealth. It reminds of MS co-founder Paul Allen, who goes buying luxury yachts simply so that he has something to do with it all.

He also finds antique airplanes that are rotting away and restores them, then has them flown to airshows and public events where they can be seen and enjoyed by everybody. I'm very glad he does that. And don't forget that his sponsorship was part of Burt Rutan's X-Prize winning Spaceship One effort.If someone similar buys things like this bed, and other people get a kick out of it, I shouldn't complain. Not my cup of tea, but not the worst thing that could be done with the money I suppose.
Thinking about it that does sound a little unfair to the guy as he does spread it around a bit.
I'll tell you what, the next time I make a gazillion dollars, I promise to spend them!
