This looks more like an indulgence that was paid for from the work the couple has done by focusing their earnings over a fairly long period of time. If they were ultra-privileged they would have been destined to arrive at the same place since birth without having to make any effort of their own at all. And they would have other homes in places like Telluride, Paris, Milan, and Montreaux that are over-the-top in a purely domestic way without any need for digital extravagance, since they've got that right here in Austin whenever they want. Even if it was only a month or two out of the year ;) That's something so many people envy or truly dislike even worse, but I admire this effort.
