No one would buy a $2m car if they only had a $2m budget for cars. I could buy an SLR. But that would take all my budget away. Instead I have my 370z, a rover, and a couple bikes. Possibly another car to come. Whereas '82 Civic owners may be saying when they see my 370z, saying that with that money, they'd rather buy a versa for DD, a used S2K for weekend fun, and a bike for canyon carving.

For multi-multi-multi millionnaires, you can still take the rationale above, but raise the tier of cars all the way to having a Veyron being just one of the 10+ cars they own.

It's all relative.

You're probably right. OR, they could be rappers blowing their money on their egos. But in all seriousness, you're right...millionaires don't just wake up one morning and say "I'm gonna buy a Veyron." I'm sure they have or have had several exotic cars before they purchase a Veyron. It's a different class of car than anything on the market.

Again, true. I'll tell you one thing, I wouldn't mind having to decide 'what to do with my money today.' It's like changing clothes for these people. It's really ridiculous when you think about how rich some people are. I'm sure there are a lot of things we don't know, since we're not rich (well, speaking for myself), that happen behind closed doors of these millionaires. Just because they have money doesn't mean they don't have problems. I'm not aiming this statement at you, just putting it on the table.
