I am not sure I get the point of the meme. There are so many possibilities. I know, for fact (because I know someone personally) that super wealthy people sometimes see something from history that they absolutely love, and then they replicate it in their modern design. The person I know can't be the only person in the world who has done that. So, I would put this forward as reasonable doubt regarding the extrapolation that the meme is trying to put forth.
