Sorry, no multi-millionaires are flying around in helicopters unless it belongs to their boss. Helicopters are more in the hundred(s)-millionaire range. (Though I suppose a someone in the tens could use one occasionally, it wouldn't be their daily ride to work.)

The only people who have use for the helicopter would be folks in new york for beating the traffic. I think some service office a pick up from your office building to the airport and it was quite reasonable especially when split between 4-6 people in your office.
