So, maybe he's actually evil and flaunting it, maybe he is righteously on the side of Good and rolling a Deception check or whatever, or, and just hear me out here... maybe he's just acting like a teenager and wearing what a teenage boy would absolutely think is the height of cool if money was zero object? [And moreover, a teenage boy from 20 years ago]
To be clear: many use "act like a teenager" purely as a pejorative, but that's not my meaning here. Teenagers have an instinctual drive to act and create change that we gradually trade out for wisdom as we age. There is no perfect age and there is use in approaches from all walks of life. An adult teenager with the ability to fall backwards into buying one of the world's biggest companies is a powerful asset. But like a teenager, he's gonna prioritize jokes and edgy cool over researching or caring about symbolism.
