Hopefully and perhaps none.

There are folks who drop 30M on Ferrari GTOs too. I always wonder how they got that much too but don't go to the step of making specific negative thoughts about it.

Ralph Lauren for example owns a raft of expensive cars and I believe he offers quality products. (Made in China with child labor?)

Then there is Leno and Seinfeldt who make their money honestly even if it is in staggeringly huge quantities.
