"Living like a king" doesn't mean living in the biggest local-style house in a middle class neighborhood and hooking all your friends up with 25 cent beers at the local pub.
Cars and electronics will cost as much if not more than other countries, nevermind travel... "Living like a king" on $100/day is great until you realize a flight out of your shithole country is going to cost you a months wage.

I have a friend from Kenya, he goes back to visit every year. He says it's very poor there, but as you said, living like a king will still take around $10,000 a month or more. Cars are extremely expensive. Safe neighborhoods are expensive. Payoffs are expensive. The list goes on and on.
Obviously living like a king in New York City is going to have a different price than living like a king in Salt Lake City Utah, but living like a king in Austin, is probably not too much different than living like a king in San Jose, Costa Rica.
