Level 2. You own a decent size boat or a few horses depending on where you live
Level 3. You own a plane and maybe a very big boat
Level 4. You collect art.
Once you own a plane you don't even wear Rolexs anymore unless its a really rare one. You wear watch brands that common prople never even heard of, but they cost enough to but a high end Mercedes.
and these $100k watches don't look like they cost $100k, They just look like normal watches, since you never heard of the brand you would think it was worth maybe in the $700 range.
I guess I'm in negative levels, haha. My parents acheived level 1..and I have two uncles at level 3 (well kinda, does Flexjet count?) - if not level 2. You know what, they both have so much money, but I don't think that they are any happier than my parents. One is unmarried, and the other has kids that constantly give him hassle. Then again its kinda cool to get one of the uncle's handmedown's..all Burbury, Niemen's, etc..
