Some people have empty cabbage soup, while others have small pearls, says popular wisdom. This is, of course, true, but there are things in the world that can make a hole even in the budget of foreign currency billionaires. After all, there are not many people on the planet who are ready to buy, for example, gold toilet paper.

1. Yacht

Yachts are different. Buying a yacht is not a cheap pleasure. Luxury ships cost hundreds of millions to more than one billion US dollars. It is also important that after this, the ship will steadily “eat up” another several million dollars (and sometimes several tens of millions of dollars) a year for maintenance alone.

2. Exclusive cars

Rare and exclusive cars are like brands, only for millionaires. And although even the rarest examples cost much less than yachts, buying rare cars is affordable for wealthy people. The reason for this is that you can buy several exclusive cars at once.

3. Last refuge

This may seem very strange, but many rich people even want to die luxuriously. In some cases, the rich spend tens of millions of dollars on exclusive coffins and resting places, such as crypts and crypts. Organizing your future funeral costs just as much money.

4. “Yellow three-skilling boy”

Swedish stamp from 1855, also known as the "Swedish Unique". The uniqueness of the brand lies in the fact that, due to a manufacturing error, it is yellow rather than green. Today it is the most expensive brand sold at auctions. There is a single copy.

5. Personal island

What could be more expensive than a yacht? Of course the island. A whole, real, natural island. However, some islands are still cheaper than the most expensive yachts. Be that as it may, buying this kind of “real estate” will seriously hit your pocket.

6. Golden bath

Home renovations are not cheap in themselves. Many real estate experts claim that finishing renovations can cost 20% of the cost of the home. However, this figure will increase radically if the jeweler and designer Lam Sai is involved in the bathroom finishing project. He is known for creating dressing rooms made of gold and inlaid with precious stones.

7. Gold toilet paper

Gold toilet paper is the apotheosis of extravagance. At best, extravagance... The cost of one roll is 1.3 million dollars.

8. Paintings and sculptures

Of course, we can’t forget about the paintings. Paintings, like any other works of art, can be very, very expensive. This is true both for world-famous works and for works that have appeared more recently. Philanthropy is known to be quite popular among the wealthy, especially when it comes to young artists.

9. Ice cream

One of the New York restaurants serves the most expensive ice cream on Earth. It's called "Golden Opulence" and costs about one thousand dollars per mug.
