I'd love to be insanely rich. It's not even necessarily because of the fact that I'd have loads of money and women throwing themselves at me. It's more because I'd be able to be stupid and buy the weirdest, most expensive things around without a care for the cost.
Take these five gadgets and playthings of the super-rich for example.
5. $80,000 will get you Megatrend Mk III speakers
And you'll love them. Seven feet tall and three feet wide, you get two of these bad boys for your money to listen to some sweet beats (we're guessing dependent on whether you're a self-made millionaire or a lucky young entrepreneur, either Rush or Justin Bieber). So yeah, enjoy that.
4. $260,000 will get you a Harry Winston Opus 12 watch
But this is no ordinary watch. Minute and hour hands are for peasants and poor people. This is a watch which uses some sort of blue hand which represents five minute intervals, or something. I dunno. I'm not rich enough to understand this new concept of time.
3. $300,000 will get you a Ecosse Titanium Series RR Bike
This seems the most likely thing the desperate businessman thrown headlong into a midlife crisis will splurge on. I mean, come on! It's an overly expensive deathtrap! What else would you want?
2. $5,250 will get you the Stax-SR009 headphones
I'll admit it. I use a set of $5 headphones that plug into my ear canal. I find them good. They're not cheap or tinny; they're molded and made from soft, forgiving plastic, so they don't hurt my ears. I don't get buying megaexpensive headphones, whether they're Beats or these.
1. $3,000 will get you a 1TB Swiss Army Knife Pen Drive
HOLY SHIT. Companies are literally giving away 1GB flash drives. I have a ton of them at home. They even double as a keyring. Why would you pay $3,000 for this thing when you could get a load of 1GB free sticks to make it up to 1TB, then also spend maybe $20 on a Swiss Army Knife? It blows my mind.
