Didn't Oprah get thrown out of a store in Geneva for asking to look at a $70,000 purse? Maybe not thrown out, but refused service?Who needs a $70,000 purse, right? Where would you even wear/use it? On your vacations to places like Switzerland and Monte Carlo, I guess....?
Whatever.
Oprah must have been pinching pennies. "An Hermès Birkin bag just sold for $380,000 in Hong Kong, thus becoming the world’s most expensive bag ever to sell at auction."

Never understood why people get all butthurt when the rich spend their money. That's $51,000 pumped back into the economy, maybe her personal shopper purchased it at a store where the sales person who sold it got a 10% commision check cut and was able to pay part of their kid's college tuition as a result. The other option is they don't spend their money and they just keep hording it away earning more interest in a month then most people will make in their lifetime.. I wish it was a $500,000 jacket, I wish the rich took $150,000 helicopter rides to work everyday. Get all that money they're sitting on on back into the economy and in the hands of people who could really use it.
Who cares if Michelle Obama had an expensive outfit or not. Her and hubby didn't have much going into the White House, but are now allowed to purchase an 8 million dollar home. You can justify this? Why isn't that a story but Mrs. Trumps jacket is? Where's the outrage that the Obama's, Clintons, Gore's all make millions (and Republicans as well), if not hundreds of millions of dollars purely off of their government held positions, during or after their terms?
At least the Trumps were wealthy before they took to the White House. Its their money that they made themselves in the private sector.
Your not concerned with the fact that so many politicians today after they leave office are much wealthier then when they entered? Life long politicians that worked for the public sector all their lives shouldn't be purchasing 8 million dollar homes IMO. Civil Servant huh......Yeah sure. And the U.S. has the nerve to question other countries practices as corrupt. Give me a break....
