88 million dollars for a future "cinder"

     When I read about Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev buying an $88 million apartment in New York City for his daughter, Ekaterina Rybolovleva, who is studying in the U.S., I must admit that my stomach did a major flip.  Read the story and see the video here.
     My human nature immediately thought of all that $88 million could do for the orphans of Russia, and for orphans around the world.  But then, I remembered the words of Jesus.  Where is my treasure?  What is the future of all mankind?  What is the future of an $88 million apartment at Central Park in New York?  According to 2 Peter 2:10, the future of the apartment as well as all earthly "treasures":  cinders, nothingness.
2 Peter 2:10:  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 
     I had to remind myself:  where is my treasure?
