Getting rich is hard, very hard, but when you do collect enough money, there are plenty of things to do in life, like for example buying a trip to space with the Russians. Here are ten insanely expensive things that cost a fortune.
No 10. Deepest Underground Hotel – $580
For $580 a night you can stay alone in this suite located in the old, 15th century Sala Silvermine in Sweden at 509 ft. deep under the earth’s surface. The attendants stay on the ground level. Be warned though, phones don’t work here and toilets don’t exist here either. You’ll have to go 165 ft up to access the nearest restroom
No 9. iTree – $15,000
The iTree by KMKG Studio is made and delivered on order only. You get to select the type of wood, you can even specify an individual tree if you take a trip to the forest with the carpenters. High-quality speakers are then installed in the tree that make the wood rock. The iTree can even be made to work with your iPad.
No 8. The Ferrari Bike – $17,000
Ferrari’s newest limited edition bike, the CF8 is the synergy of a high-end sports car aesthetic and two wheels churning out style with performance. Made in partnership with high-end bike manufacturer Colnago, the CF8 sports a lightweight carbon fiber frame, Selle Italia’s SLR Monolink saddle and the super-precise Dura-Ace 7970 Di2 electronic gear shift system.
No 7. AE+Y Phone – $60,000
Produced by the Danish luxury retailer Aesir, this is an astonishing 18-carat solid gold handset with an LCD screen that measures a modest 2″ and a battery that lasts a measly 5 hours of talk time. Well, who is looking for functionality when you’ve got that much money just to look cool, right?
No 6. Jetpack – $100,000
No cost is too much if you can fly; well fly independently for that matter. With FAA’s strict standards for ultra light aircraft flight, the user of this jetpack wouldn’t be able to exceed 63 miles per hour, with a flight time limited to 30 minutes; yes it’s going to be legal. The Martin Jetpack is scheduled to go on sale sometime this year.
No 5. Razor – $100,000
Forget the cars and boats and homes and spacecrafts; look into buying this ultra ultra luxury razor from Zafirro. Its handle is made entirely of iridium, an extremely scarce and expensive metal. The blades of the ‘precious’ are made from artificially grown sapphire, making them hypoallergenic. The company guarantees a 10-year blade life with free sharpening for the mentioned period.
No 4. Interstellar Vacation – $600,000
If earthly travels are not your thing, then space is the next destination for you. Commercial Space Station houses some of the most luxurious hotels imaginable, complete with choice of either a vertical bed or a horizontal one. Orbital Technologies aspire to make these trips possible by 2016

No 2. Mini Lamborghini – $4.8 Million

No 1. Floating Island – $130 Million
Project Utopia is a floating island that resembles and oil rig that has swimming pools, nightclubs, and casinos.
