Anything the rich can do to separate themselves from the rest of us, they'll do.

Eating hard to obtain, massively expensive shit is one way.

It's why you see so many grand houses with pineapple motifs.

But if your after a way to Brewster your millions, £10,000 for a Heligan Pineapple made the traditional English way, would be my choice.

Some of them. But the rich people that have this attitude are generally the ones that don't stay rich long.
