To paraphrase Bo Burnham, and she still will but it’s not as fun now.
If she has $50 million squirreled away somewhere she won’t be able to spend it openly. She can be sneaky and keep a slightly comfortable life but she’ll never again have an opportunity to be openly decadent.
Debts handled, excellent health care, a little bribery perhaps, and an occasionally get away to somewhere remote, but no conspicuous consumption, which for these people seems to be more than half of the fun.
Typically when rich people outside of the US/EU need specialist healthcare they fly to the US/EU. Is your claim that 'excellent' health care can be found outside of these areas, or that paying cash for healthcare is a reasonable proposition in the US/Europe?
When people of intermediate means need major surgery, India is now emerging as a place where you can get better than 80% of the healthcare for 20% of the cost.
