I'M A MILLIONAIRE, APPARENTLY

I've just come back from Thailand's first ever Millionaire Expo. Anyone with access to my bank account right now would know I'm far from attaining those dizzy heights, even in Thai baht, but it was nice to dream for half an hour or so.
Actually the event is just a glorified exhibition - the only difference being the products and services on show are aimed at those with a bit of money, and those exhibiting have probably paid premium rates for their space.
For a mere 50,000 Euros on one stand I could have brought was it claimed to be the world's most expensive MP3 player. It's made of gold and encrusted with diamonds, and unsurprisingly the maker has yet to sell a single one in Thailand.
It was an interesting experience but I'm not sure how I come to get an invite in the first place.
