Hey YouTube, Jim here!
Welcome to Top10Archive!
Do you have a luxury item that you plan on saving for years to be able to buy?
Maybe it’s a car or a high-end Sony Bravia or a sizable home with a built-in pool.
Most of us have those fantasies, but when we dream of finally owning those things, we
tend to not think of the depressing truth – there are people out there that could
buy them without even flinching.
They’re known as “the 1%” and just to depress everyone further, I’ve compiled
a list of ten things that only they can afford.
You know what’s free and everyone can afford?

A Personal Tomb In the golden days of Ancient Egypt, back
when things weren’t so complicated, you didn’t have to buy your own personal tomb.
It was given to you.
And all that money you would have otherwise spent on one?
Thrown right into the crypt with you.
Nowadays, psh, forget it.
A single crypt, for people that don’t want to be crowded by other people even in death,
you’re looking at dropping upwards of $10,000.
Your own private mausoleum, however, could run you anywhere from $20,000 to $500,000.
I guess I either leave my children an inheritance or get myself a mausoleum.

Blue Dumplings Yes, there may be more expensive foods out
there, but let’s stop and look at these for a moment.
How much would you pay to eat these blue pockets of meat?
Keep in mind that they’re blue!
If you said less than $5, good for you.
You’re a sane person.
Insane people with too much money to spare, on the other hand, have dropped upwards of
$4,400 on 16 of these veal, pork, and salmon-stuffed dumplings.
They are a creation of the “Golden Gate” restaurant in the Bronx, New York, which…
kind of makes their price even more confusing.

Diamond Massage In 2006, Hearts on Fire diamond retailer took
its love and appreciation for diamonds to an entirely new and unexpected level.
For the 60th anniversary of the Emmy Awards, the luxury diamond dealer created the “Diamond
Indulgence Lounge” and offered a diamond massage for a modest price of $100,000.
The massage was performed with real diamonds, which were spread across the skin of the recipient.

Luxury Ice Cubes How much would you spend on something that
keeps your drink cold?
If you’re thinking “big picture,” probably a couple hundred for a fridge, right?
Well, how about over $300 for 50 ice substitutes?
Glace Luxury Ice Co. aims to provide an elegant drinking experience with its series of Mariko
Spheres and G-Cubed ice cubes.
Each of Glace’s opulent products are intended to keep cocktails from becoming watered down
or impure with pollutants and additives possibly found in some water sources.
Well, that takes care of that first world problem.

Golf Cart Hovercraft Responsibilities and bills be damned.
I’m buying myself a Hammacher Schlemmer Golf Hovercraft!
It’s only $58,000 and it is bound to be worth every penny!
Powering this incredible golf cart is a 65-hp twin-cylinder Hirth engine and a nine-blade
axial-flow fan that pushes the cart to speeds of up to 45 mph (72 kmh).
While it’s definitely a luxury item for the driver, that it hovers 9” (22 cm) off
the ground can also be beneficial to the grounds of the golf course.

A Private Island So, I never knew that buying a private island
was so…
easy?
I mean, easy for those with millions of dollars, pesos, pounds, euros, or francs lying around.
All prospective buyers have to do is log onto “PrivateIslandsOnline.com" and… boom!
the dating app that matches rich potential buyers with prime real estate.
Much like houses, islands vary in price based on size and location.
An island in the Bahamas sized at 554 acres may run $39 million while a Grecian island
at 1335 acres may cost $44.6 million.

The Salvator Mundi Do you have over $450 million just laying
around?
Then I hate to tell you that you’re likely to never get your hands-on Leonardo da Vinci’s
16th-century painting of Christ.
The painting is that of Jesus Christ, and while it looks simple, there’s much meaning
behind it.
The transparent orb in one hand and the benediction performed by the other is said to represent
his role as savior over the world and master of the cosmos.
The last time the painting was purchased, on November 15th, 2017, it sold for $450.3
million and became the most expensive painting ever sold.

Swarovski Vacuum Cleaner Like I always say, if you have to clean the
house, you might as well do it in style.
With this Hyla GST Water Vacuum, priced at over $20,000, any average Joe wouldn’t have
much of a house left to clean; but the 1% will be able to enjoy tackling dirt and dust
with over 32,000 Swarovski crystals.
Actually, who am I kidding?
If you can afford this vacuum, there’s no way your hands will ever touch it, save to
move it out of your way in your largest of three coat closets.

Diamond RockStar iPhone Was the iPhone X not expensive enough for
you?
Gold Genie wants to take you a generation back to the iPhone 7 and force you to pay
even more!
Granted, this iPhone is embedded with 800 “brilliantly cut diamonds.”
Just imagine, somewhere out there, some goon spent over $13,000 on this iPhone to check
their Instagram and play Candy Crush.
And chances are they spend $100 a week on in-game gold bars.
Ah, a sound investment.

Louis Vuitton Condom You’d have to really like the person you’re
with to justify spending $68 each on these luxury rubbers.
Designed by architect Irakli Kiziria, the luxury prophylactic isn’t retailed at Louis
Vuitton stores, nor is it an official product of the designer.
It was originally launched on World AIDS Day as a means of raising money for the Foundation
for AIDS Research.
Unfortunately for you big spenders out there, the product has since been discontinued; but
it’s worth remembering that, at one point in your lifetime, the designer condom, complete
with Vuitton’s signature lettering, once existed.
Now if you really, really, really want to be able to buy items like these without blinking
an eye at a millionaire/billionaire’s audacious, tenacious, bodacious stare-down, then you
have two options: 1) keep spending you entire measly paycheck on those mega-powerball lottery
tickets; or 2) get an education, get a job, get really good at it, live small, and save
your money until you’re too old to enjoy it!
Hmm, well then … okay, see you later, I’m off now to buy my lottery tickets.
