£55K is very nice but probably not life changing, it would buy a new car and a holiday and not much else, certainly not enough to spread the largesse.
By all means spend it, but what comes across as ostentation isn’t, or wasn’t him.
As Jon is, I think, suggesting maybe I’m just reading it wrong.
edit: and as I alluded to above, I’ve known several people who couldn’t seem to accept that it was a one-off, spent like crazy and were then regretful that it ran out so quickly.
I came in to a nice inheritance when my Dad died.
I was living in a rented one bedroom flat at the time so I spunked the lot on a house.

Might be that he thinks that is something you could do easily enough (assuming your wealth is not tied up in watches, hats and negroni ingredients), otherwise it does have the hint of the “Whoops, we’re in Dubai” posting from the KettleJnrs’ nursery facebook group.

My school class mate is a billionaire.
It’s all just money. I don’t really think what others have got - I have enough to worry about with my own bills.
A flat 2 floors down from mine was used as a brothel for a while.
I wondered why a red star had appeared against one button on the door entry system but as I lived at the top of the building I didn’t notice the additional traffic.
Until the Police woke me up at 3.00 in the morning that is, asking questions about the goings on downstairs!
Attempting to be on topic.
Weird as fuck.
Hive started pinging that there is a heating anomaly. According to hive the temp started dropping rapidly from 16 at 0700. Get up at 0830 and the front door is wide open.
Thing is I don’t use the front door and the ring doorbell didn’t detect any motion or people etc.
Ooh yeah!

"No-one was injured when it had fallen but some in Mukuku began to complain that the impact of the crash had caused damage to nearby houses.
Christine Kionga, who lives about a kilometre from the crash site, showed us cracks in the concrete of some of the buildings in her home compound. She said they had appeared after the crash.
Other neighbours alleged the structural integrity of their homes had also been affected - allegations that are yet to be substantiated.
“The government needs to find the owners of this object, and get compensation for those affected by it,” Mukuku resident Benson Mutuku told the BBC."
