Along with his house. Star Trek loves to evolve stories around these little clumps of aliens, all alone on their big planet. I have often wondered why they choose a particular spot to set up housekeeping. To me, it would make more sense spending time exploring the planet. Supposedly Flint has all this money saved away along with the experiences from all of his different lives. He's got at least one large deposit of ryetalyn and can make robots to mine it for him. It seems he could sell the mineral to needy starships everywhere. I know this would depend on how widespread Rigelian fever is, of course.
Have you noticed that there are quite a few "robot/android" stories in the original series, yet the Enterprise does not have its own robot? I also like how the female robots all look gorgeous while the males are anywhere from some little floating tinman to a big ugly box computer. I think there was one male robot that looked like a human, but he wasn't even that good looking and there was only one of him with many women. There's got to be a Roddenberry fantasy in there somewhere.
So, getting back to Kirk and Rayna. I'm sure the actress who portrayed her has done a much better job in other productions. She did not do so well here, in my opinion. I would have expected someone who was Flint's equal. She's not even Kirk's equal and he's a complete idiot in this episode. I think that if Flint is crafting an android who is compatible with him, said android should be someone who appeals to women as well. I don't mean that in a sexual way, but in a human way.

The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
