This is true, but a lot of wealthy people wants to show off their wealth and talk about the price they purchased something, perhaps it brings them pride and fulfillment to talk about their mansions and car and many other things. I think that's the pride rich people take, talking about money and cars, and showing it off to others. 

Thanks for your reply and support.
