Different people want different things. If I had £350 to spend on a T-Shirt, I can think of a whole list of things I would be more interested in spending it on, but the kind of people who wear expensive clothes like that often like others to know they are wearing expensive clothes.
Also, for a lot of people, the cost is a major factor. They like the thought of owning the £350 T shirt, and the £1,000 Prada handbag and the £700 Jimmy Choos. I'm just as happy wearing Primark and TKMaxx as I would be wearing designer clothes, but each to their own. Given the £2050 for the T shirt, handbag and shoes above, I'd far rather buy a good gaming PC, but not everyone would.

At it's most basic, the car; a metal body with seats, engine and wheels designed for the transportation of people and or goods from one place to another
At it's most basic, the white t shirt, a garment made from cotton or poly cotton mix with holes for arms, head and torso, designed to be worn on the human body.
Look at the details however and it's an entirely different story.

A plain white T-Shirt is still a plain white T-shirt though, they pretty much look the same unlike 2 cars of hugely different values.

Thats true, which is why i said earlier regarding about the assumption of people showing off wealth.
I collect and wear watches, I've got a few ranging from very cheap to very expensive. Whichever one I'm wearing it's because I like it and I appreciate it, not because I want everyone to see it.
Whilst some people may want to flaunt their purchases, just as many buy it because it's what they like and nor do they give a second thought to what anyone else thinks.

Re: Fools and their money...
In the grand scheme of things what does it matter? If someone's got that amount of money to buy a white t shirt then they are not the type of people who are going to be shopping in Primark. And even if they did, said person might not smoke or drink. Add up how much money a year a smoker and drinker get through over a year.

Re: Fools and their money...
If you think the T-Shirt is expensive, look up the Diamond Crypto phone - just over£1 million each.

Most Expensive Camera Lens
Professionally as well the perceptive price due to the use of these lenses are very high. The quality of the lens makes them more wanted. The list below of the most expensive camera lenses are going to leave you with ogling eyeballs.
1. Carl Zeiss 50 mm Planar F/0.7 - $23.1 million
