Beauty is in the eyes of a beholder. What may seem to you ridiculous is a matter of fact to a family earning one million dollars per year. I had a client earning $15 million usd per year, and he certainly would have paid several million usd for a spot at Harvard or Stanford for his kid. I wish there was a way to sell my kid’s spot to that guy so my kid could deposit several millions usd into his acct and go to an Honors College or UCLA instead. Where is capitalism when you need one?
