People buying 30k bottles of wine are generally the kinds of people that don’t have a “credit limit” like we’re used to. They probably also have people that go get that wine for them, and likely pay by credit card or check.
The very wealthy do shop at warehouse clubs, Walmart, etc. You won’t see them being walking advertisements for clothing lines, either. They do buy quality clothing, but they aren’t overtly branded, unless they’re casual, work or sports clothing. They may drive nice cars, many will own a regular 90s model Pontiac or something. They also don’t plan their money for years, rather in centuries. There’s a difference in behavior and attitude between old money and nuveau riche, as well.
The very wealthy are also petulant little pigs who clad themselves in designer clothing, diamonds, and gold. Who literally clutch pearls and hiss at minorities. Who support genocides and drive drunk on public roads after their racist little evening gatherings.
Let’s stop pretending these ghouls are valid human beings. Entire Royal families have been terminated for having less relative wealth to the workers than todays ruling class.
They are human beings, these are human behaviors, and it’s not “no true human would…” Of course they would, and easily, too. My only point was to highlight differences in our concepts of wealth, and theirs.

If you have to ask you can’t afford it.

They also seem unlikely to shop at Costco
People that shop at Costco skew far wealthier than the average American. Given that only a few Costcos, in very wealthy areas, are going to have even a single bottle of $28,000 whiskey, it’s entirely reasonable to expect that they’re going to be able to sell it.

Indeed.
