My mom used to work for the retired CEO of an oil company. His son collected yachts as a hobby and had his own jet with a pilot that he kept on call. The old man's hobby was racing TBs. They had all the money in the universe and were always desperate for more. They would complain about how desperately they needed a horse to win, how dire their situation was while they were hosting lavish parties or flying in their private jet to one of their many vacation homes in other countries. When one of their daughters got married the old man decided to give her a fountain that he had seen in Italy as a wedding gift. He had it dismantled and flown to Colorado (where her wedding was going to be) on a week's notice. These were literally the richest people I have ever known in my life and they would not have waited even one hour for money that they could get now, so don't try to tell us that generally rich people are happy to wait for a return on their investment by letting a baby horse grow up. Most rich people didn't get rich by being disinterested in money. Actually one of the old man's favorite sayings was, "I didn't get rich by being nice to people and neither will anyone else."
