The helicopters were a big point in the book, InGen branded helicopters whisking people around. Even back in the 80s/90s, helicopters were mad expensive but they focused on them because they're visible and cool.

I know some nouveau-riche folks, and they indeed spend their free time looking at private jet catalogs, imagining the trim colors they'll pick out one day when their business can afford the fuel costs. It's the same mindset. Cool toys up front, who cares about business in the back.
