@nzzp is that it though? Surely at luxury car number 21, he goes.... maybe I don't need a 22nd luxury car?
It reminds me of a reality show some years back about people whose job it was to do shopping for mega wealthy celebrities ( actually some weren’t even celebrities but definitely mega wealthy )….
I remember there was massive stress in one episode where the job was to order in cases of champagne for a party at about $30,000 each but they were out of stock and could “only” get the cheap nasty shit that was $25,000 or so ( these figures might not be completely accurate it was a few years back )
……but the point I’m making is there’s definitely some kind of massive mental illness there.

I can never understand this kinda thing. Surely just better to be comfortable and stay below the radar, rather than a flashy fluffybunny and spend half your time in jail?
Two types of criminals that get caught; the dumb and the desperately unlucky. 22 luxury vehicles suggests which he was. Not even smart enough to go crypto and wash the cash with NFTs.

Interestingly, that's not mental illness - it's normal human psychology. The Happiness Lab by Dr Lori Santos is really good. Covers this normalisation in one of the episodes- wealth and expectations shift as you get more. It's as alien to us as a starving person in <wherever> thinking we've lost the plot as we can't get our favourite <craft beer/chip brand/toilet paper>.
