Someone who couldn't afford $20 for something that lasts more than a month? If this person exists it's because they place a below-average value on toilet paper, not because they don't have $20.

And there aren't enough millionaires for their toilet paper buying habits to have a meaningful effect on the market unless they each start buying millions of rolls, which is a ridiculous hypothetical with no chance of really happening.

Rolls of TP don't last a month in most households. They normally last 1 to 2 days. You either own a bidet or need to see a doctor.
Most households have more than one person, so in that case the $20 is no longer for a single person.
I'm buying toilet paper about once every five years. Not sure how others manage to go through the stuff so quickly. On the bright side, I bought some last year, so I'm covered for a few years.
