$140,000 Hot Wheels… what the?
This $140,000 Hot Wheels car is allegedly the most expensive toy car in the world, created to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of Mattel’s tiny cars and show why Humanity has way too much free time. Why is it so expensive? As you can see in the glittery images, it is all about the 23-carat bling-bling
Caparo T1 - Street-Legal formula racecar, not much room for groceries…
Yes, it’s street legal! But if you’re looking for a car for a relaxing Sunday drive, this ain’t it, my friend. Reserved for the Uber-Rich, the Caparo T1 is the first production car with more than 1,000-hp per ton (something Rich Bastards will definitely appreciate). What does that mean exactly? It boils down to power-to-weight ratio; meaning it produces the most horses per pound than any production car in existence, including the Bugatti Veyron ~ which is a boat anchor at 4,299 lbs compared to the fly weight of the Caparo’s 1,500 lbs! Holly crap batman! See more pics and a video of the T1 on the next page:
$29,000 Dry Water Massager; happy ending not included.
A Dry Water Massager used to only be available in five-star resorts (and in cheap shopping malls). However, if you’ve got a lot of spare cash lying around things could be different now… The 28 nozzles inside the canopy emulate a shiatsu style massage throughout your body (even the dirty parts). An aroma diffuser also compliments the full service massage experience with essential oils to soothe and relax. And if
$1,000,000 laptop… you’ll need to pack a gun while at Starbucks.
UK-based bespoke luxury goods Game-Guide-Polo creator Luvaglio has created the first million dollar laptop. It incorporates a 17″ widescreen LED backlit screen, 128GB SSD and a slot loading Blue-Ray drive. A very rare coloured diamond piece of jewellery doubles up as the power button when placed into the laptop and

Ascari Z1 - It’s Dutch-Made… ummm
The Ascari Z1 is the result of Dutch cash and ex-Lotus engineers putting their resources together. The reason Rich Bastards want this beauty is not just because of its respectable performance but probably more because only 50 cars are being built. As you know, millionaire and billionaire Rich Bastards like exclusivity in their toys and the Ascari doesn’t disappoint. See Fifth-Gear video on the next page:
Bombardier Global Express XRS - It will get you laid.
$47.7 million
Slightly smaller than the converted-airliner business jets, the Bombardier Global Express line places similar emphasis on cabin comfort and doesn’t lack for range. Launched in 2005, the new “ultra-long range” XRS can zip 6,150 nautical miles at a cruising speed of Mach 0.85. With a cabin length of 48 feet, it can be configured for 19 passengers; and with an impressive cabin height of 6 feet, 3 inches, it won’t matter how tall they are. See a video on the next page:
Rolls-Royce Phantom - Lot’s of trunk space for shuttling dead hookers
What self-respecting Rich Bastard would be caught alive driving himself around when he could be chaufferd around in the Rolls Phantom? And if you think this is a lazy heavy beast, you’d only be half right. Tucked under the massive hood is a 6.7-liter 48-valve V-12; that’s right, twelve coke cans that pump out 453 ponies… which is respectable but even a Benz E63 with a 6.3-liter V-8 cranks out 507 horses, what gives?

Cessna Citation X - Looks great parked next to the Kia
$19.6 million
The Cessna Citation X, the fastest business jet on the market, tools along at a blistering Mach 0.92. First rolled out in 1996, the midsize jet can hop half a dozen time zones on one full tank, which will get you across the “flyover states” or the Atlantic without a refueling stop. The main cabin seats up to a dozen, although with a maximum ceiling height of 5 feet, 6 inches, some of them may have to stoop. See video on next page:
This watch will set you back $400,000 but it comes with a free case.
If you ever need proof that the rich just keep getting richer, the Chapter One watch from a new company called Maîtres du Temps should do the trick. Created as a collaboration between three of today’s leading watch designers, Christophe Claret, Peter Speake-Marin, and Roger Dubuis, the Chapter One features a tourbillon, retrograde GMT and date indicators, and a mono-pusher chronograph with a 60-minute totalizer. It also has a pair of rolling displays showing the day of the week and the moon phase.
A limited edition of just 33, the Chapter One’s price seems to be one of those “if you have to ask” deals. We’ve seen plenty of ultra-expensive watches before, but this one seems to have ka-ching! written all over it. I did see 400,000 Swiss
