"Private planes" may refer to a Piper Cub. It's expensive, but in some areas may make sense, and fits under a hobby. Some people dream of piloting.

"Yachts" may refer to a motorboat. Or a yacht as in "motorboat with one sail". It's expensive, but very often honestly worked for. Some people dream of yachting.

I'm just informing you of cases you clearly didn't think about.

I was just looking at planes this week, can get an experimental one seater for like $30k.

I need the link.

(But - yes. I was still thinking of "real" planes, but I suppose there may be something flying for that cost. If you don't mean a glider.)
