to think that it is immoral to spend £315000 on a weeks holiday?

[jenroy29]

I watched Peter Andre the other night and was curious about the hotel he stayed in so googled it. One week in September for a family of four staying in the same type of suite as him costs £315000.
Ok abit of me might be jealous of the mega rich, but I would hope that if I was ever in that position I wouldn't waste money like this.

Why would you google that? Unless he owes you money YABU.

The money he is "wasting" is paying the wages of hundreds of people...

Oooh!, can we have a link?

There are worse things you could spend money on, such as highly polluting private jets, when you could just hop on a commercial plane.

Nearly half a millions squids? Blimey. Still, yabu.

Spending money on a luxury hotel stay generates employment for the hotel staff, provides work to the builders who built the hotel, designers, furniture suppliers, painter and decoraters etc etc etc.

If there were no demand for luxury hotels all that business/employment generated would be lost.

You know YABU... It's his money - he can spend it how he likes.

It was a gorgeous hotel though and his kids are so gorgeous
I did meanly lol when junior said Katie had called manager claire an elephant

Which hotel was this?

I need a link!

I want to go there!

YABU. It's his money and he didn't make it selling drugs, he can spend it how he chooses.

The Atlantis Hotel in Dubai also has a lot of cheaper rooms so I don't think the arguments for paying peoples wages stands up really, the cleaners of the different rooms probably all earn the same meagre amount, most of the £315000 would be profit for the owners.

Who would then spend it, that is how economies work, it is supposed to go round and round.

Yes, profit for the owners, who will buy luxury cars and clothes, and and keep more people in jobs.

It's no more immoral than me buying a dress I want, but don't need, when there are families who struggle to buy their DC school uniform.

Or for me to let my DC have a birthday party, knowing a load of the food will end up discarded when there are people starving.

Isn't that the point though jenroy - the ownwers make a profit and spend that money - possibly on more hotels, or buying their own goods and services, thus keeping money circulating in the economy

it would probably have been a freebie

x posts - but we all agree

And you watched the show, which presumably had ads in it and for which Andre presumably got paid.

I just think that I would want something more to show for my money than the memories and photographs. I don't think that the experience would have been less if they'd stayed in a cheaper room.

The price is in AED. What's that in pound sterling?

It would be immoral if he were depriving his children of food/clothes/a decent standard of living in order to achieve this holiday - and it would be immoral for me to do it as it would be more than my entire life savings and the value of my house - but for someone with his money, no.

As others have said - people who have that much money should be spending it and putting it back into the economy to keep other people in jobs.

His money and he can spend it how he likes.

£69,563.1

£10K per night.

It is all relative though, to me if I was going to spend that it would have to be so astonishingly perfect that I would be kept in bliss for the rest of my life remembering it, but that is because to me that is a lot of money.

Obviously to him though it isn't a lot of money because he has more.

We once dropped 5,000+ on a two week holiday, it was excellent and I don't regret a penny, but I would be willing to bet there are people on here who find that horrifying. But relative to me it isn't that much.

OP you have some serious envy issues.

Its £57,000 in sterling. Still a lot but nowhere near as much as £315,000.

And I bet he got mega discount for the publicity.
