Do you think billionaires ever feel like this?

I wish some cool Hollywood producer would air a TV show which presented real examples of obscene wealth and today's conspicuous consumption. Most regular people have no idea of the astronomical scale of wealth and privilege which billionaires enjoy. A show that focuses on those who can afford luxury yachts, multiple mansions and jets ought to educate the masses with concrete examples of what "wealth inequality" actually means in terms everyone understands. For example, I enjoy a bottle of 12 year old single malt Scotch usually priced at about $60 to $70. But who buys things like a bottle of 60 year old The Macallan Fine & Rare 1926 for $2.7 million? Well, a billionaire could buy a case for $32.4 million and still have money to burn. And don't get me started on the luxury cigar market and the daily gourmet meals at exclusive restaurants with no prices on the menu.
There are always the haves and have nots but it is becoming too noticeable for some who never flaunt it. There are some who pay staff to keep their names out of public view. For they understand how different they are from regular folks and may be anxious about being revealed as people who can buy anything.
