14 everyday objects made into luxury items for billionaires
Consumer society is wreaking havoc and we are the main prey.
But while we’re trying to get our heads above water, there are people who have no worries with money and can afford just about anything they want. For them, everyday objects seem too common. This is why these items are redone with a little touch of luxury, just to make them seem less ordinary. Of course, the price is anything but ordinary...
Here are 14 everyday objects adapted to the billionaire lifestyle.
1. Mint toothpaste
$99.99
There would seem to be nothing unique about mint toothpaste, but THEODENT designed a toothpaste that contains the unique patented Rennou component: after the first use, Rennou strengthens and protects teeth throughout the day.
2. Toilet seat
$299.95
A handmade carbon fiber toilet seat draws attention to itself. It’s made from only natural materials, lightweight, one-size-fits-all limited edition by Carbon Fiber - haven’t you bought one yet?
3. Headphones
$638
They say music sounds much better when it comes through GOLDSTRIKER headphones. Maybe it’s because of the 24-carat diamonds in your ears. If you want to check it out yourself, it won’t come cheap.
4. Woolen socks
$1,188
FALKE woolen socks were launched in a limited edition: there are only 10 pairs. The socks are made with vicuna wool. The wool of this animal is considered the rarest and most expensive in the world.
5. Cloud lamp
$3,360
This cloud is a designer lamp by Kaufman Mercantile that not only lights up the room but also produces typical storm sounds: thunder and the sound of rain. You can also choose the brightness and color of the cloud.
6. Kitchen knife
$5,415
This kitchen knife by Nesmuk is incredibly expensive and valuable. The blade is made of carbon steel, the handle of ?urly birch, and all other parts are silver. The knife is equipped with a lacquer-coated box and leather case. For this price, you also get a knife sharpener, and a special brand of knife oil.
7. Pencil
$13,400
German company Faber-Castell released a simple pencil on its birthday. Yet the only simple thing here is the lead. The pencil itself is made of cedar, and its cap is white gold encrusted with 3 diamonds.
8. Monopoly
$14,161
So popular and so expensive for this version offered by ZONTIK. The board is covered with leather and all the inscriptions are done in gold. All the pieces are silver. This game is an ode to luxury in all its details.
9. iPhone 7
$25,850
Stuart Hughes, a jeweler from Liverpool, created an insanely expensive model of the popular smartphone with his own hands. Its body is made of 24 ct gold. Given its price, it’s scary to even hold it, not to mention talking on it!
10. Razor
$100,000
Do you think the Zafirro razor does something more extraordinary than a disposable razor? Well apart from the fact that the handle is made of metal that can only be found in meteorite residue, this razor will shave your beard the same way as any other. As for the blades, they’re made of white sapphire, and the pivot pins are platinum. Well, make room in your bathroom! At this price, it must not get damaged!
11. Toilet paper
$1,558,335
When the Australian company Toilet Paper Man found themselves with 24 ct gold bar, they had nothing better to do with it than to make toilet paper out of it. The price is justified by the material. With that being said, if you feel like shelling out at a little more than $1.5 million on a single product, you’ll get a bottle of complimentary champagne as a gift.
12. Teapot
$3,000,000
If you’re thinking of your great aunt’s famous teapot, as far as usefulness goes, this teapot from Chitra's collection will be no different. On the other hand, it will be distinguished by its prestigious materials: it is made from gold and decorated with 1,500 diamonds and 500 rubies. A common thing for those who can freely dispose of their money. And $3 million isn’t even its final price, because there are several potential buyers.
13. Handbag
$3,800,000
Mouawad presented to the world their handbag made from 18 carat gold and encrusted with 4,517 colorful diamonds. Even though most ladies are very fashionable, it’s highly unlikely that most will be able to afford it.
14. Ring
$70,000,000
Not a ring with diamonds but made out of a diamond. Swiss jeweler Shawish stepped forward in jewelry-making by proposing a jewel beyond all expectations (and beyond most bank accounts). This unique ring was fashioned from a single diamond.
