How in the fuck does someone even spend that much a month?! Even in some crazy scenario where me and my wife eat out every single night I can only get to like $2300 monthly for restaurants. Throw another $5k (high) for mortgage, grocery, bills, etc doesn't put me anywhere close. Hell, if you stayed at a hotel for 30 nights at even $200 a night that's only $6k. Lots of hookers and drugs?

You're not thinking big enough.

Fuck eating out, hire a private chef.
5k mortgage? Rich people have multiple houses at that price or more.
$200/night for a hotel, try 1200.

I'm not saying it's wise or prudent, but it's definitely possible to get there if you are behaving like a rich person.
