I wonder what is the lesson here.
"If you want to buy sex for money, you better have a lot of money, or it will reflect poorly on you."
Or perhaps:
"Doing things in a way which demonstrates that you have a lot of money can make almost anything high-status."
Or: be classy, not crass. Form and style matter.
It is, of course, easier to be classy when you have a yacht stocked with champagne and caviar on hand... X-/
