We love movies because they can transport our imagination to places we only reach in our dreams. So if your dream is to be superrich, through movies you get a chance to experience, in your little world of fantasy, the great lifestyle only the most affluent can afford.
Sometimes a good movie provides more than entertainment, it provides inspiration and motivation. To fuel those dreams and inspire you more, we came up with this list of extravagances that those in the elite indulge in. Care to try?
Party like you own the place (because you do)
If you have never been to a party where the cost of a single bottle of the wine can conveniently buy the car you drove to that party in, and still leave you with some spare change, then you probably haven’t attended an exclusive party.
When Billionaires get together, they splurge. A bottle of the Gout de Diamants champagne or the Henry IV Dudognon Heritage Cognac Grande sells for about two million dollars each, and they can be guzzled within a night, with no remorse.
The cost of renting the ballroom alone can build you a dream house. Such parties are not for the ordinary. You must belong to the elite group in the society to be worthy of been invited.
Dress for the occasion
You are addressed the way you are dressed, and the affluent take the message of this cliché to another level. Imagine stepping into a full gear that totals millions of dollars, at a single go. From brandishing a Zenith Christopher Columbus luxury watch that demands a two hundred and thirty thousand dollar price investment to own one, along with a Testoni’s Dress shoes worth thirty-eight thousand dollars, and a Dolce & Gabbana’s sunglass valued at three hundred and eighty thousand dollars, all on a Stuart Hughes eight hundred and ninety thousand dollars’ exquisite suit – in the world of opulence, this is no crime.
Home is where the wealth is
The world is yet to come across a billionaire who doesn’t own a private estate. Some very audacious ones even take it up the scale by having a tropical getaway added to their list of real estate. If you can visualize buying an island that is priced between Ten to Fifty million dollars, then you think like the billionaires.
Virgin Group’s founder Richard Branson, Oracle Corporation’s co-founder Lawrence Joseph “Larry” Ellison and CNN’s founder Ted Tuner are some of the world’s billionaires that are proud owners of islands.
Travel in style
A few years ago, being able to travel by air was a luxury only the rich could enjoy, but today, almost every average Joe can afford to shuttle between his habitation and destination by air travel.
But like every other thing, with the rich, there is always class. Although we all go through the same airspace, the rich do it in exclusive style. From travelling first-class on commercial jets, to soaring in their Gulfstreams, Bombardiers, Boeings or Airbused private luxury jet, you can’t beat that lifestyle if you are not in that elite.
As much as they love travelling by air, billionaires love going by sea too, and they do so in their private yachts. The Eclipse, one of the most expensive yachts in the world is presently valued at $1.5 billion; you can call it a luxury estate that floats and you won’t be far from the truth.
When there is a need to make a road trip or move around the city, the rich don’t stoop. If it’s not an executive car or a limousine, you won’t find them in it.
Permanent vacation
Being able to travel the world and choose whatever place you want to have your vacation in, is undeniably one of the biggest benefits that come with being a billionaire.
If you’d like to catch a glimpse of how they enjoy their holidays, you should make a trip to any of the all exclusive vacation spots, such as Belize’s Cayo Espanto Island, where with a token of eleven thousand dollars per night, they can have the whole island to themselves.
