[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]European here (lived in several EU countries).

I understand that some businessmen feel the need to exploit every opportunity for showing off and networking, and a wedding is no exception (see Ambani wedding in India). But there is such a thing as cultural norms and you have to be careful where you're celebrating, otherwise you risk pissing off the locals.

Europeans tend to hide their wealth much more than Americans or Indians. This is why Musk flopped when he tried to campaign in favor of the AFD party last fall. Germans did not appreciate having a visiting billionaire flaunt his wealth and influence. It's the same in other EU countries. The wealthiest families of Europe are very discreet about their luxury lifestyle. You're supposed to live a life of stealth luxury in your castles on your estates, and wow guests with luxury events out of the public eye. You can rent Versailles or entire Florentine museums if you want... but you've got to be discreet.

Of course, renting out the whole city of Venice tends to get you noticed, and since this isn't a country where that sort of thing is socially acceptable... well there you go.

Considering that most European wealth was stolen from other countries, they ought to be stealthy about it. They should be ashamed of themselves.[/quote]
