How about you save your bullets for the actual, child eating billionaires instead of some guy who is just kinda well off, huh?

On a global scale, anyone dropping 200k on a pleasure boat, lets assume they have a net wealth of at least 1 million (insane to spend 1/5th of your wealth on a toy but anyway...), is in the top 0.1%. It's not "kind of well off".

Even possessing 200k dollars puts you in the top 5%.

People don't understand numbers and that's ok. You let one lunatic have a trillion and now you're excusing the 0.1% as "kind of well off".
