Why do you think it’s small town wannabe entrepreneurs? Have you ever seen the cost of the art that hedge funds put in their lobbies, or the skyscrapers built by large companies with their name on the top?

This is kind of a universal element of human nature. Flaunting excess resources is a way to telegraph success and draws people to you.

Actually now that I think of it this isn’t an element of human nature at all it’s common to lots of other life forms too. Ever seen a peacock?
