...Fisher Island. During the late 1980s, he chartered a jet to fly dozens of friends to a multimillion-dollar party in London to celebrate the launch of his private yacht, modeled after Queen Victoria's. He reportedly gave guests gold coins bearing a likeness of himself wearing a Lord Nelson hat. He has sold off some of his lavish baubles in recent years, but his profligate reputation remains a flaw.

But as soon as someone would say, 'Let's do this so we can go to heaven,' someone else would...
...Here, the One and the Lamb of God occupy a double throne of jasper, fronted by a sea of crystal and framed by a rainbow, attended by 24 elders dressed in white and praised eternally by four winged beasts, who "rest not day and night, saying Holy, holy, holy, Lord Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come." In attendance are angels, "ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands...
