That's almost as if they never existed. These are the poster boys for the banks. Now, though the study that was conducted to arrive at those results could have excluded a lot more people who still use private jets. Most companies own their own jets and they shuttle their executives around. Executives, per se, may not be the rich boys we are talking about here. There are also some jets that are fractionally owned that again rules out most of the jets flying about in the air.
The rich, however, indulge themselves everywhere, even when air borne. Their ways have always awed most others and they are usually the trendsetters when it comes to lifestyles and getting oneself pampered to a fault. Spending a million or two on a nice little customized jet can be an indulgence which has proven to be quite an obsession with the rich.
It's an often repeated remark the rich are pathetic when it comes to their finances. They really need help with it. |
