"I'm a little lavish I must admit. But I'm not really concerned with money. Being rich is not my goal, being wealthy is."

I suppose that the main benefit of being rich (over just being independent) is to be able to despise rich people (a good concentration of whom you find in glitzy ski resorts) without any sour grapes. It is even sweeter when these farts don't know that you are richer than they are.
