At the end of the day I could go and buy a new car right now if I wanted to. Just as I could buy new furniture, fancy clothes and all sorts of other things, sex included.
But I've never seen an example of money buying true love or even true happiness. Never. And that's even assuming it's your own money - borrowed money being even more likely to bring misery.
The older I get, the more I understand why I want a partner not a model. And why I like a normal house that I own, rather than a mansion built upon debt. And so on. Material posessions, other than those with actual utility, do little to improve happiness and wellbeing in the long run.
