Well, many of us walk around all day showing off stuff that gives discerning people a strong hint about how much we earn; we call them "clothes". (some members of the present company may be a bit off the norm here....) Also, all the devices you can enumerate from me are bought under company policy. Not a strong linkage to my income (the fact of who I work for probably has a stronger one).
