all business related flights are not counted as such, but be put in the public bucket of rich dad boys fun flights.
I know the one owner of a business jet I fly treats it as a needed work tool. He goes to many obscure locations which would take him a lot of time and changes to reach by the airlines. Never asks for catering but brings his own packed sandwiches and we often leave at 0200 and never later than 0630 to make meetings and a full days work.

Not for him a status symbol but a needed work tool plain and simple.

While there is also the Rich kids using Dads Money I have never seen that other than the closest with a motor racing team where again it was needed transport but with the status and extra touches appreciated

Most of the Rich kids probably just rent an AOC aircraft for that weekend skiing
