Someone from Qatar flew a lamborghini to England for an oil change. I believe that qualifies as conspicuous consumption. Is it more conspicuous than, say, building a vast indoor ski slope? Probably not, but it sure makes for an interesting story. I for one wouldn’t have flown my lamborghini there, I would have driven it. That would have made a much more interesting story, in the chinese sense.
