I also think it's ridiculously expensive as well but it's not uncommon for several siblings from the same parents to attend the same public school and the fee alone can be USD200K for a family.
For my mathematics class, about half of my classmates were non-UK citizens. It seems that people are not emigrating away from the UK but they actually immigrating into UK because of the public schools. According to article this type of elite expensive education is only for less than 5% of the population that can afford to pay. Their top public school (Eton College) is virtually impossible to join even if you have tons of money and the prestiges (foreign royalty family).
