I am sure he has a plane also.

We spent the Fourth of July with friends who keep a yacht on Lake
Michigan. It gets 1 mile per gallon, carries several hundred gallons
of fuel, and is worth almost $400K.

We were sitting at the dock, sipping a cold one, and my friend pointed
out that most of the boats never, EVER leave the dock. One in
particular -- a VERY sleek job that looked like it was going 100 mph
standing still, but was still a cabin-class yacht -- had just been
purchased for $1.7 million dollars this past spring.

The new owners had a zillion wet towels hanging from the railings to
dry, so it looked like crap. My buddy said he's never seen it leave
dock.

For $1.7 million, that guy could have bought himself a nice used
Citation, and paid a pilot to fly him anywhere in the world for the
next five years. He could have actually gone places and seen things,
but instead he gets pickled every weekend aboard a floating bar that
never sails.

Meanwhile, people think flying is expensive. I guess I'll never
understand some people.
