The not so subtle signals of wealth.

But I think on this one, like why I'm so intrigued by this is that you've used the word relatability in relation to something that is such a not so silent signal of wealth.

Why do you think even in that example of that peak COVID era, we're so comfortable with such, I'm going to call them obnoxious displays of luxury because they are.

Like even if the home does feel warm and comfortable and inviting, like we're still ultimately talking about 20, 30, $40 million homes.

I don't know.

I do think the age thing is interesting and I think maybe it's this idea that because they've created these worlds and sanctums and it feels like you're being allowed in, you're like given permission, that there is an element of aspiration that doesn't feel so far away because they suddenly don't feel so far away.

Like the access to them almost enables that aspiration.

Yeah.

Does that make sense?

Batchy pad.

Batchy pad.

I'm not talking like it's chic and minimal Christian Grey's pad.

He was like, I've got adult money.

I can do adult things now.
