While you are laughing, tenants absolutely pay landlord in "experience". For commercial rents, tenants like Apple in shopping malls pay significantly less than regular rate (https://www.wsj.com/articles/apple-gets-sweet-deals-from-mal...).

Prince Harry move to Montecito increased property values around his house (https://nypost.com/2021/03/08/montecito-home-next-to-prince-...).
