Fifth Avenue?

I still have not started Christmas shopping. It seems more difficult for me to appreciate the materialistic spirit of the holiday this year. I'm taking much joy from our beautiful Christmas tree and lots of Christmas music in my CD player.
A coworker told me that you can hire a private shopper from Saks Fifth Avenue for something like $1800. Curious, I visited the Saks website and discovered that if you were to open a $25,000 credit line, you would then be eligible for your very own "personal fashion consultant upon request". Oh, there's more. You would also not only have access to a private Saks phone number, but they would graciously deliver your purchases to a local address. And, in my opinion, the best perk yet... you would be entitled to "complimentary storage of one fur". This poses a dilemma: Where would I then store the rest of my furs? How would I choose which fur I would store complimentarily? (Yes, that is a word, I looked it up in the dictionary.) And would my other furs suffer from jealousy or separation anxiety if I were to choose a single lucky fur to have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live at Saks?
I couldn't find anything on their site about a personal shopper, so maybe that's just an evil rumor. But my question is this: Are there people who really have this much money? And do they actually spend it at Saks Fifth Avenue?
