20. I don't think I can agree with that.

For much of history, the rich have been miserly.

Wanton waste or destruction such as this would have at least brought reprimand or punishment.

To "waste" money on an elaborate wedding or extravagant purchase is a different matter than wanton wastefulness that produces no kind of benefit.

Then again, maybe this is the difference between the truly wealthy and the nouveau riche.
