^^^ Indeed; notice how guys with really big money so often have foundations. Very large sums move around, in a longer game, and I've heard at least one guy say "hey it's just more zeroes" (meaning at the end of the number). The "drunks who came home with cars" are at the much lower end of the market - I've referred to them in the past, because I've seen it years ago. But they aren't swimming in the million-dollar-car (& etc) pool. Basically, there's a point at which a hard asset moves from object to strategy, because the players' real hobby is wealth. (I'm not making a judgement there, merely an observation.)
