Expensive Useless Things Billionaires Spend Their Money On

most people have a plan for what they do if they won the lottery and everyone's list looks pretty similar buy a house pay off your debt donate to charity maybe get a flashy car or go on a nice holiday if you've some left over with that said what do people buy when money is literally no object it turns out they buy some pretty ridiculous stuff so here are the most expensive useless things that millionaires spend their money on three million-dollar window now I know millionaires will pay a lot of money for a good view but paying a lot of money for just a window seems a little extreme sure this window was allegedly the one used by the sniper that shot JFK but I'm still not sure it's worth three million dollars Plus to make this story extra crazy there's a lawsuit going on because no one knows if it's even the real window so some random rich person may have spent 3 million on the totally ordinary window which is pretty useless if you ask me 30 million da Vinci scientific journal when you're as rich as Bill Gates you can pretty much afford to buy anything you want so it's pretty interesting to see what he spends his money on turns out it includes a volume of da Vinci's original scientific notes which set him back a cool thirty million dollars they're super historically important obviously but they're also pretty useless as they are kind of indecipherable and also can't be handled much due to their age still it's a better purchase than any of the other examples coming up 1.3 eight million dollar gold toilet paper so a joke item that you can actually buy is toilet paper printed with dollar notes which is supposed to make you feel richer than you actually are the thing is some millionaires have taken that one step further and started buying toilet paper made from real gold it's totally functional 22 karat and two-ply but it's also literally no better than regular toilet paper it exists just to impress guests when they walk into the bathroom and then a part of that 1.3 million dollar spent is literally flushed away making it a super useless purchase two hundred and fifty thousand dollar gold shirt when most people go clothes shop and they try to find things that are comfortable and easy to wear or at least not downright dangerous to put on however a millionaire calling himself the gold man spent two hundred and fifty thousand dollars on just one t-shirt and that t-shirt is made of gold the shirt took fifteen days to make and is lined with velvet making it super heavy and uncomfortable to put on not just that but it can't be washed so you can't even wear it whenever you want fifteen thousand dollar haircut don't get me wrong getting a haircut is a totally practical thing but the way this guy went about it is a little over the top I mean when the Sultan of Brunei decided he needed a trim he didn't find a local barber he decided only an English hairdresser would do the Sultan generously paid fifteen thousand dollars to fly London barbers 7,000 miles to do his hair and the man usually only charges thirty pounds that's quite a steep price for something that usually takes an hour at the most which makes it a completely useless expense tigershark what do you get the person who already has everything apparently a giant real-life tiger shark cut in half and suspended in formaldehyde sounds more of it I know but the shark is actually an art piece by Damien Hirst which was originally bought for ninety three thousand dollars that's already pretty expensive but then billionaire hedge fund manager Steve Cohen bought the shark for eight million now I know art isn't usually useless but remember this is literally just a cut in half shark and it's decomposing albeit slowly so it won't even be around forever before I reveal the next example I'd like to remind you to subscribe if you've enjoyed this video we upload amazing fact-filled list videos daily also make sure to click that Bell icon to stay updated or you'll regret missing out on some amazing knowledge that could have filled your brain now let's get back to it super jumbo jet buying a private jet is pretty standard millionaire behavior and if you travel a lot then it's definitely not useless however one member of the Saudi royal family made some upgrades to his jumbo jet that I'm not sure he's ever going to use I mean he spent 319 million dollars on a double-decker jumbo jet and then had it remodeled to make room for all his horses and his two rolls-royce's onboard that sent the price soaring past 500 million and since I doubt he'll be invited anyway where he needs a herd of animals and two cars I think it's a pretty useless upgrade 3.2 million dollar dog collar everyone loves their dog there's a reason they're called man's best friend after all however no matter how much money I had to spend I'm not sure I'd ever be willing to drop 3.2 million dollars on a dog collar yes you heard me right the more more dog collar is 52 carrots and encrusted with 1600 individual diamonds all that money on something the dog will either get dirty take off at the first opportunity or flat-out refuse to wear in the first place $14,000 diamond tea bag tea bags can only be used once so spending any more money on them than necessary is a pretty pointless idea with that said someone out in the world owns a $14,000 tea bag made by tea company PG tipps for their 75th anniversary the bag is encrusted with 280 diamonds and is fully functional but it's actually totally useless because using it means the whole investment literally goes down the drain solid gold lego brick is there anything more useless than a single Lego brick as it turns out yes there is a solid gold 14-carat single Lego brick aside from weighing 2.65 grams the brick can be used just like any normal Lego brick but you can't exactly mix it in with a bunch of normal plastic Lego that means that unless you're willing to fork out another $14,000 for every gold Lego piece you make the lonely gold brick is destined to never be used 1.3 million dollar surfboard be honest if you bought a handmade surfboard for 1.3 million dollars would you ride it I'm guessing the answer is no it would most likely stay on wall somewhere where it couldn't get dirty or break the funny thing about this item is that it's maker insisted it wasn't useless and that every decision was made to give it the best ride possible however I'm not sure the line painted on the bottom with real gold is adding to the ride at all if you ask me 7.5 million dollar poker set poker is a great way to lose money so maybe it's not surprising that some millionaires decided to throw away money on the actual poker set itself the most expensive poker set in the world contains cards that are platinum plated and white Gold chips embellished with everything from rubies white and black diamonds emeralds and even sapphires the result is a set that will set you back 7.5 million dollars which means you don't even have to put any money on the chips glace luxury ice cubes now 325 dollars might not sound like a huge amount to spend on something if you're a millionaire but what if I told you that that's how much a bag of 50 ice cubes cost that's right millionaires will spend over three hundred dollars on a bag of luxury ice cubes which are supposed to keep your drink cold while remaining absolutely tasteless that makes each cubes $6.50 which is surely more than the price of the actual drink itself the gold bullion mouse you'll need thirty six thousand dollars for this gold mouse however this computer mouse isn't actually real gold at all that means millionaires are paying that much money for a totally normal Mouse just because it's called the gold bullion mouse when I just save yourself the cash and take some gold spray paint to the mouse you already have the end result is exactly the same crystal bathtubs I get it sinking into an ice bath at the end of the day is an awesome feeling however I don't think spending two hundred and twenty seven thousand dollars on a crystal studded bath would actually improve your experience at all the bath takes over 200 hours to make because every Swarovski crystal has to be added individually and the end result is a super spiky bat that you definitely wouldn't want to bump into on your way in or out and if that wasn't crazy enough you can also buy a dog version for almost seven thousand dollars and most doves don't even like baths supreme brick now the phrase designer brick is so ridiculous that it sounds like it can't be real but trust me it is when designer company supreme release bricks embossed with their logo people queued around the block to buy them even though they're completely useless unless you plan on building a house they were only thirty dollars at the time which is crazy for a brick but they've increased in value ever since they sold out now it would cost you four million seven hundred and four thousand dollars just to build a 24 hundred square foot house better stick to regular bricks if you ask me this designer paper bag Jil Sander is a top fashion designer and her name adds value to whatever she puts it on just how much value well when she created her own designer version of a paper bag every child for around 290 dollars now to be fair the bag does have stitch seams and is made from super durable material so it might last longer than your average paper bag even so I'm not sure it will last long enough to make it a sensible purchase designer logo or no designer logo Prada paper clips are the kind of thing you can buy in bulk for hardly any money at all but for some millionaires normal paper clips just aren't good enough don't believe me well there was enough demand for luxury paper clips that prouder release their own and they're a staggering 185 dollars each to be fair to product they have said they're not actually paper clips they're money clips meant to hold large stacks of cash together which means you're wasting money just to carry the rest of your money around in a flashy way Chanel boomerang when I think of items that don't get used very much boomerangs are pretty high up on that list however if you're a millionaire who just can't live without one then the one thousand and three hundred and twenty-five dollars Chanel version is probably your best bet the item was part of their 2017 sportswear range and it attracted controversy both because of its price tag and it's alleged culture appropriation gold dominoes set ever felt like your Domino set just wasn't bullying enough well me neither but if you have then how about this one hundred and fifty three thousand dollar set made entirely of solid gold each studded with actual diamonds in total that's one hundred and sixty eight or 15 carats of white diamonds and 2.4 kilograms of 18 karat gold this would be a useless buy even if you were super into dominoes but let's face it when was the last time you even saw anybody play diamond barbie necklace spending money on expensive jewelry is kind of a waste but at least you can actually wear it however this millionaire spent over three hundred thousand dollars one carat square cut pink diamond necklace that you couldn't even wear as a ring confused well this necklace was actually made for a doll and was sold an option around the neck of an actual Barbie I mean I guess it's good that it was sold because the money went to charity but also what use could anyone possibly have for that four hundred and fifty thousand dollar watch expensive watches are nothing new and they're actually one of the more useful things that millionaires spend their money on with that said this watch costs four hundred fifty thousand dollars in the price has nothing to do with how good it is at telling the time so why the crazy price tag well the strap is made from metal that came from the melted down Apollo 11 and fibers from real spacesuits have been woven into it not only that but the face contains real moon dust which has been melted down into the glass pretty cool I know especially if you're super passionate about space but it's still not any more useful than I want you to buy for a fraction of the price golden toilet I've already made the joke about flushing money down the toilet but what if the toilet itself was a complete waste of cash this toilet is both fully functional and made of eighteen karat solid gold and there's no guessing how much it's worth now this is actually an art piece so it's not meant to be used but it is meant to show how ridiculous spending money on pointless things is the ultimate joke is that the piece is actually called America and I'm seriously not making that up Diamond contact lenses if you always want your eyes to sparkle these contact lenses can help I mean the Shekar eye Research Center has started selling diamond encrusted contact lenses and a pair will set you back fifteen thousand dollars the good news is the diamonds don't actually affect your vision so you can wear them and still see perfectly however since they don't improve your eyesight either they're totally useless except for fashion purposes and they're more creepy than fashionable anyway so they're useless they're too did you like any of the items on this list and what's the most useless thing you've ever bought and how much did it cost let
