Yeah. He'll get things that are awesome in a practical way -- stuff that he'll get the use out of. Nice suits, sure, but that's 'cause he has appearances to keep up with.

I mean, Alexis takes fencing lessons, and I bet she has better odds of using that skill in her life than tennis or polo or whatever the steriotypical rich kids learn.

It's not until a point in season two that it really sank in for me that he's rich-rich, not just able-to-afford-cool-stuff-rich. I don't wanna spoil, but it can be very useful to have that kind of cash on hand.

Personally, fencing is so stylized I have a hard time finding it more practical than polo, but I do think it's clear that she's taking full advantage of the good school and the access to extra-curriculars that she has.

It came in handy on Pushing Daisies, didn't it?

This is true.
