Apple will no longer fix the $17,000 gold Apple Watch::The original Apple Watch models, including the $10,000-plus 18-karat gold Edition that Beyoncé wore, are now officially obsolete and won’t get parts, repair, or replacement services.

You’re actually off by a lot more than you realize.

Average US income is about $31.2k, Beyoncé (who bought one) has an income of about $90m.

Meaning $20k to her is around $0.64 in relative wealth to the average person.

Literally pennies.
