There comes a point when a person, organization, or country is so obscenely wealthy that the normal human mind can't readily grasp just what that kind of wealth means. A normal person hears "bespoke private 747" and thinks "Wow! That's worth rather a lot!" An obscenely wealthy person thinks "Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've got a couple of those parked somewhere. I bet I could pack one full of listening devices and pass it off as a special gift."
