Robin Williams, when pontificating about his struggles with addiction following his rise to fame, once said “Coc**ne is God’s way of telling you that you have too much money.”
I think about that quote a lot, because I think there are LOTS of indications that someone has too much money. For instance, you might find yourself purchasing something like this thing spotted in the wild by Twitter user @lexilafluer.

Well, for starters, these.
