  Drug dealers have a similar problem too where they need to look rich as part of their brand which is a major burden when you're not rich.

      That's the customers. Dealers, especially as they rise above ground level, want to look wildly successful so they can attract kids who think they'll be rich. It was written about extensively in the book freakonomics.
