Cheerfully granted.  However, in addition to the land and hotels,
there is *staff*.

Dirt poor male fronting 40 farmers and two thousand contiguous acres
of dirt out in the hinterlands, or wealthy male fronting an aggregate
of 2000 staff, plus (...1000 hotels at 20 acres a pop, 2000 acres...).

While managing money may be left to the females, I'm gonna bet that
money still buys status, even if the males won't touch it directly.

YMMV, of course.
