This is a question Conspicuous Consumption

Have you ever been photographed sat on a balcony eating a croissant; or wallowed in luxury just for the sake of it? What's the most ostentatious thing you ever seen or done?

Home, James!
I work for a tech company that hit it bigtime after it IPO'd. Joined early enough to be given a nice [not so] little pile of options, and have been gently flogging them off. Sold a few more on Thursday, netting another 5 years' salary and earning myself an enhanced aura of smugness.

And clearly this has managed to impress my bank - not only are they giving me a black amex card, they're laying on gratis limo service home every time I fly in to Changi rather than having to wait in line for a taxi with the plebs. The chauffeur had better be dolled up in a peaked cap and wearing driving gloves. Tough life, eh ?
