 Is it relevant at all that $1000/day guy lives in London and as a result can only afford mid-level standard of living?  While the $100/day guy lives in India and lives like a king?
 
 obviously, $1000/day guy is the "whale" and he is the one that everyone treats with respect, wants to do business with, etc... while the $100/day guy doesn't matter, even though he may have higher standard of living...
