8K for a one-time listen?

As someone who can appreciate the potential value of $20K speaker wires in an appropriate system, this is over the top, even for me.  Devialet is issuing recordings on actual lacquer for $7900, but the kicker is - they can only be listened to ONCE.  And the lacquer wears away.  All I can say is - Actually, I have nothing to say.  
Here it is in case you wish to indulge.

What *IS* the point of being a billionaire oligarch, drug lord, 3rd world dictator or president of the United States if you can't have things nobody else can?  You play that record as you open that 1873 Rothschild Pinot while entertaining the Sultan of Oman.

I'd only purchase this if I could get Bugatti to install a turntable in my Chiron

I wonder how these would sound on my old Spiderman turntable.
Seriously though, would one make a good investment, to positively soak the hell out of the same well-healed types that could afford one in the first place?
Not that I have any animus toward the wealthy.

Hey, mitch, y'know....you're absolutely right.  This joint needs a 'decompression room' of sorts....

"Have you heard the one about the TT that blew up after playing this 'special record"?

It'd be Great....bring your own tinfoil hat...;)
