To (most) people commenting and reading this, the question 'why would you pay that much money for a car' is just about context.
To much of non-first world countries, buying an iPhone Pro Max would evoke the same question. That amount of money symbolises food for a long period of time.
Unfortunately your context shifts out a lot. It becomes normalised to buy an iPhone. It becomes normalised to pay a lot of money to buy a house, and if you're lucky enough to build wealth the normality bar just keeps being raised.
And then, poof, you just bought a supercar. Or a Patek Philippe. Or whatever other expensive thing that has no real purpose beyond it's a thing that you like.
I feel the same way with private jets. But a private jet was a completely trivial sum of money for me, maybe I would. Hard to say.
