so... what did people expect? Also, people who buy 17,000$ Apple Watch have probably moved to a different model long time ago.

Is any of that OK? No. It's just not surprising.

How much does $17k cost for a celebrity or wealthy person compared to someone making $75k-$100k? It would be interesting to see comparisons with an average celebrity or multi-millionaire, but it seems hard to define without getting into crazy wealth.

>>wil421+AS1
$17k should be in the affordable range if you make $100k.

What do you mean by "cost"? They both have to pay the same price, one might have to spend less time to make that amount if that's your point, but that's kinda obvious.

Cost is generally a more holistic concept than price. If you use money (or any resource) to do X, then you can't use it to do Y. So if your money supply is limited, every purchase is more costly to you because of what you must forego to make it. For the same reason, a 10k raise when you make 1M is not worth nearly as much as a 10k raise when you make 30k. It's the same 10k dollars, but has very different worth depending on who's dollars they are.
