Speaking as someone who would love to leave this planet, and who would love to have lots of money, I think I would take pause before spending $4M+ on a three day stay in a floating hotel . . .
. . . I can't help but think if I had that much disposable income I would find better ways to spend it, probably on something helping those who do not have that kind of money . . . housing, education, food . . .
I guess people with that kind of money don't have any compulsion against indulging their own needs while turning a blind eye to worthwhile causes and people in need. Apparently it's what endears them to all of us.
