People keep assuming that capitalist hierarchies are all about rational ways to make money. No it's about making people feel powerful over others. Always has been. These people already have more money than they could ever spend in a lifetime, they were already only using it to dunk on the poors. But being restricted in this way was not something they could buy, so yes, it was absolutely worth it to them.
Pretty much this. You know that pyramid graph with the hierarchy of needs? These people have an alternate version of that where the social layer is replaced by a power layer.
