The head of the company I worked for did a my Everest trip with some coworkers. They took their phones and laptops so they could keep working, and I set them up with a mobile satellite hotspot.

In the first week they had racked up $15k in charges. The sat provider was calling me every $5k to approve the costs, which we did. They eventually needed a c-level to sign a doc saying we would pay.

After another week or two and it was around a $25k bill which was paid without fanfare.

Yes rich people pay these bills because they make a shit ton of money.
