Lol Being rich helps. But really you don’t have to be. Depends on priorities. If you have a passion, you find a way. I’m far from rich but I also built my own plane. Seats my wife, 3 kids and myself and cruise 145 knots all under $18,000. I don’t own a fancy car though.

Flying is not that dangerous as long to as one is responsible and takes it seriously. I just had a solo flight today where I flew the plane over 50 miles to another airport, and everything went well. At the end of the day, everything in life bears some level of risk, and personally, I feel safer in the plane where I have a much greater level of control, compared to the road where one is often at the mercy of other driver’s decisions. I can’t control if someone chooses to drive under the influence or while texting, but aviation is very structured and professional and a highly controlled environment.

Hangar fees, insurance, annual inspections -- all of those happen whether the airplane leaves the ground or not. Then there are the ADs, expendables like oil, filters, and tires, and the stuff you don't count on like the rock chip in the piston of your nose gear strut that shreds the seal and causes all the fluid to drain out. Crack in the fuel pump? Yeah, that one's a party, too. Audio panel goes on the fritz? They don't give those away for Christmas, either. After I owned the airplane free and clear, I averaged three years of expenses, and came up with $695/month just to have the thing sit outside on the ramp, NOT counting laying money aside for replacement of timed-life components like props and engines. I dearly LOVED my Hawk XP with the 210hp STC, but in the 2006 economy, with a house under construction, I just couldn't justify it. Man, I miss that airplane... but not the associated worries and expenses.

None of this includes ramp fees or rental vehicles to drive when you reach your intended destination.
