Does our hatred of this make it more desirable to a certain portion of rich people?

I know people who don't brag about how their jeans fit. They don't brag about how their jeans look. They brag about how much their jeans cost.

Certain folks identify their personal value is solely their power to go out and acquire crap. “Look how impressive I am! I can pay a thousand times more for a precious metal can than everyone else can. I’ll have it sit on my shelf and remind me how awesome my money power makes me.”

Sad-ball douchebags.

I don’t want to hate them though, takes too much energy. They’re just annoying.

At least, I imagine they are. I don’t know anyone that’s into this stuff. Can’t say I’d want to be around a person that values that sort of thing.
