With any hobby one can go above and beyond making it expensive af, or go above and beyond doing everything on their own with as little expenses as possible

There's a great story of a person who built his first yacht on his balcony and then proceeded to circumnavigate the world in it, and then some more

I don't exactly know how costly it was, but it definitely was not an example of a rich asshole:
