Being able to fly international in Business Class for annual vacations should you choose to is a choice many would consider 100x better than $10 University food.

Sure. I didn’t make my point clear. 100x expense doesn’t mean 100x utility. There are a lot of “consultants” in HCOL cities grifting from high earners.

I had a baby proofer try to charge me 4 grand for a handful of outlets and corner pads.

Baby proofer is a job that people hire for??
yah, rich people are extremely stupid in ways that doesn't really hurt them because it's a small portion of their income. How jimbo might do something stupid and spend 10% of his disposable income on scratchers trying to get rich, rich people do the same, it's just 10 % of their income is a large number and they are usually chasing convenience or experience rather than riches.
That's not grifting. The baby proofer asked a high price. You declined. No one was conned.
