I was talking to a man 10 or 15 years ago at a dinner and he was telling me about some extravagant trip he was invited on. When I asked how one gets invited on this type of trip, he told me, "Make sure your wife spends a million dollars a year at Neiman Marcus" and he just laughed. I think he was serious.
They definitely didn't spare any expense - That looked like a Global Express which is a lot of plane for eight people on a domestic flight.
