Become a Lord or Lady
If you’re one of those people who feel like royalty and are just missing the title, then listen up: Highland Titles is one of the world’s leading innovators in land preservation and is offering a unique experience this holiday season. For just $47.99 you can buy a square-foot plot of land in Glencoe, Scotland. So what’s the big deal? Owning this plot of land will officially make you a lord or lady of Glencoe! Purchasing the lot will also get you a legal deed for landownership, a map of Glencoe, directions to your plot, and a bumper sticker to proudly display your new lord or lady status. Commoners can likely buy a single plot, but if you really want to impress your favorite millionaire, go for a couple of acres! This is the definition of the gift you get for the person who has everything. Price: Starts at $47.99 - 3/7
Louis Vuitton Luggage Set
This luggage costs more than a down payment on a home! The Louis Vuitton leather luggage set is the ultimate definition of luxurious travel and includes four suitcases, a cruiser bag, a hat bag, a jewelry case, an armoire, and steamer trunks. While most of us couldn’t imagine throwing down $60,000 for bags, this gift will make your favorite millionaire feel like, well, a million bucks. Price: About $60,000 - 4/7
Gulfstream G550
Owning a personal jet signifies that you’ve officially reached baller status. The Gulfstream G550 is sleek, sexy, and oh so luxurious. The jet can fly 6,750 consecutive nautical miles or more than 12 hours nonstop. Even more important, it seats 18 passengers, so you can take your friends and family along for the ride. The Gulfstream G550 will cost you $59,900,000, but no one ever said owning a jet would be easy. Price: About $60 million - 5/7
Valextra Passport Case
While this next gift isn’t off-the-charts expensive, it costs more than the average person would ever shell out. This blue, textured leather passport cover is made in Italy and is likely only carried by chic world travelers known for stopping by fashion week in Milan. Sure, it costs five times more than the actual passport, but price is just right for your wealthy secret santa. Price $520 - 6/7
One Night at Hotel President Wilson
If your billionaire already has a jet, then fly him or her to the most expensive hotels in the world. Hotel President Wilson in Geneva, Switzerland, definitely caters to clientele with expensive taste with their Royal Penthouse Suite. The 19,376-square-foot suite features four bedrooms, 12 marble bathrooms, a billiards room, a “royal boardroom,” and an outdoor patio with views of Lake Geneva and the Swiss Alps. Need more? The suite also comes with a private security team, a Steinway grand piano, a private gym, private elevators, and a limo. It’s truly fit for a king — or Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, and Rihanna, three of the suite’s former guests. Price: Starting at $62,000 - 7/7
The Helicycle
Whether it’s on land or in the air, the Helicycle demands attention. This exotic mode of transportation combines a three-wheeled motorcycle and a helicopter for a truly unforgettable ride. You can drive the motorcycle down the road, and then when you’re ready to fly, it takes just 10 minutes for the propeller, rotor, and rudders to deploy. The two-seat vehicle hits a maximum speed of 112 mph in the air and on the ground and can be driven for 750 miles on a full tank. Sure, no one needs a Helicycle. But we guarantee, everyone wants one! Price: $395,000
