The other thing to consider is that the 300K the player saves is basically all from the provincial vs state tax delta. And living in Seattle with the cost of living, you'll lose all of that if you buy a house etc...
Is cost of living as big of a deal for these guys when they're already buying the best of everything? I'm curious what the difference is between the high-end stuff, when you look at cost of living. Like Italian center groceries vs whole foods, private chef wages, luxury cars - does it make a huge difference once you're in the luxury world?

Honest question as I wonder if these guys even worry about that or just consider it a sunk cost as to wherever they go.
