There are a good many people in this world for whom the price of anything they want means absolutely nothing...their desire to acquire or experience something is all that's relevant. These folks take trips into space, own private islands and multiple homes in the most desirable places on the planet, travel on personal jets and super yachts the size of small cruise ships, and they own a significant portion of Earth's habitable land. Spending $300K for a movie prop has less of an impact on them than buying a Big Mac would be for most of us.
