How to piss off your slip neighbors

Personally, I think in many cases it's more about getting away from people and the social demands of society than a 'better than you' attitude. Most passengers and owners on these super expensive yachts normally live in a high-pressure world 24/7 and the demands can be draining.
A chance to get away, let down their hair and just relax is the reason many are on board. A week with no phones, no interactions with others outside their family, or decisions to make, is the ideal vacation.
Many of these passengers are in the limelight, (rock stars, society people, actors, etc) and on vacation, the last thing they want is fans, critics or the chance of being found by the paparazzi, so they remain insular.
And then there are the rich snobs who........
Keep in mind, ostentatious displays of wealth also are expensive and have the added benefit of providing jobs to broad sectors of labor from designers, builders, artisans, staff and crew as well as all the support people who clean the architect's offices and sweep the factory floors, handle the marina docklines, etc. So, rather than encourage the wealthy to hide their weath, encourage them to spend. The more frivolous, the better. They may even happen to commission tasteful art along the way.

Just tell 'em they can't afford it. Get's 'em every time.
Sometimes people with modest incomes also commission tasteful art...... The more frivolous, the better. They may even happen to commission tasteful art along the way.
