From the story - Betty said on previous trips to New York her father has used points to stay at the St. Regis, though they didn’t qualify for a suite.
Rich people problems!

That must be terrible. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't qualify for a $1.800 a night suite. You know while balancing being a billionaire and all.

I think the point of being a billioinaire is the race is over, you won... you don't have to worry about points because you are making tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars an hour in interest, dividends, and capital gains, 24/7, 365, even while you sleep.
And because of what they call the "wealth condensation effect," as long as your family office managers aren't completely incompetent, and society doesn't collapse, you, and generations of your descendants, have essentially zero financial worries.
I don't think most people comprehend what a Billion Dollars actually is... one million, a thousand times over... it's an absurd amount of wealth.

One billion....Heck, One million ain't what it used to be.
All it takes is one irresponsible act to wipe you out.
