most people have a plan for what they do
[1]
if they won the lottery and everyone's
[3]
list looks pretty similar buy a house
[6]
pay off your debt donate to charity
[8]
maybe get a flashy car or go on a nice
[10]
holiday if you've some left over with
[12]
that said what do people buy when money
[14]
is literally no object it turns out they
[17]
buy some pretty ridiculous stuff so here
[20]
are the most expensive useless things
[22]
that millionaires spend their money on
[27]
three million-dollar window now I know
[31]
millionaires will pay a lot of money for
[32]
a good view but paying a lot of money
[34]
for just a window seems a little extreme
[37]
sure this window was allegedly the one
[39]
used by the sniper that shot JFK but I'm
[42]
still not sure it's worth three million
[44]
dollars Plus to make this story extra
[46]
crazy there's a lawsuit going on because
[48]
no one knows if it's even the real
[50]
window so some random rich person may
[52]
have spent 3 million on the totally
[54]
ordinary window which is pretty useless
[56]
if you ask me 30 million da Vinci
[59]
scientific journal when you're as rich
[61]
as Bill Gates you can pretty much afford
[63]
to buy anything you want so it's pretty
[65]
interesting to see what he spends his
[66]
money on turns out it includes a volume
[69]
of da Vinci's original scientific notes
[71]
which set him back a cool thirty million
[73]
dollars they're super historically
[75]
important obviously but they're also
[77]
pretty useless as they are kind of
[79]
indecipherable and also can't be handled
[82]
much due to their age still it's a
[84]
better purchase than any of the other
[85]
examples coming up 1.3 eight million
[89]
dollar gold toilet paper so a joke item
[92]
that you can actually buy is toilet
[93]
paper printed with dollar notes which is
[95]
supposed to make you feel richer than
[97]
you actually are
[98]
the thing is some millionaires have
[100]
taken that one step further and started
[102]
buying toilet paper made from real gold
[104]
it's totally functional 22 karat and
[106]
two-ply but it's also literally no
[109]
better than regular toilet paper it
[111]
exists just to impress guests when they
[113]
walk into the bathroom and then a part
[115]
of that 1.3 million dollar spent is
[117]
literally flushed away making it a super
[120]
useless purchase two hundred and fifty
[123]
thousand dollar gold shirt when most
[126]
people go clothes shop and they try to
[127]
find things that are comfortable and
[129]
easy to wear or at least not downright
[131]
dangerous to put on however a
[133]
millionaire calling himself the gold man
[135]
spent two hundred and fifty thousand
[137]
dollars on just one t-shirt and that
[139]
t-shirt is made of gold the shirt took
[141]
fifteen days to make and is lined with
[143]
velvet making it super heavy and
[146]
uncomfortable to put on not just that
[148]
but it can't be washed so you can't even
[150]
wear it whenever you want
[151]
fifteen thousand dollar haircut don't
[155]
get me wrong getting a haircut is a
[156]
totally practical thing but the way this
[159]
guy went about it is a little over the
[161]
top I mean when the Sultan of Brunei
[163]
decided he needed a trim he didn't find
[165]
a local barber he decided only an
[167]
English hairdresser would do the Sultan
[169]
generously paid fifteen thousand dollars
[172]
to fly London barbers 7,000 miles to do
[174]
his hair and the man usually only
[176]
charges thirty pounds that's quite a
[178]
steep price for something that usually
[180]
takes an hour at the most
[181]
which makes it a completely useless
[183]
expense
[184]
tigershark what do you get the person
[187]
who already has everything apparently a
[189]
giant real-life tiger shark cut in half
[192]
and suspended in formaldehyde sounds
[194]
more of it I know but the shark is
[196]
actually an art piece by Damien Hirst
[198]
which was originally bought for ninety
[200]
three thousand dollars that's already
[202]
pretty expensive but then billionaire
[204]
hedge fund manager Steve Cohen bought
[206]
the shark for eight million now I know
[208]
art isn't usually useless but remember
[210]
this is literally just a cut in half
[212]
shark and it's decomposing albeit slowly
[215]
so it won't even be around forever
[217]
before I reveal the next example I'd
[220]
like to remind you to subscribe if
[221]
you've enjoyed this video we upload
[223]

[225]

[227]

[229]
out on some amazing knowledge that could
[231]
have filled your brain now let's get
[233]
back to it super jumbo jet buying a
[236]
private jet is pretty standard
[237]
millionaire behavior and if you travel a
[239]
lot then it's definitely not useless
[241]
however one member of the Saudi royal
[244]
family made some upgrades to his jumbo
[246]
jet that I'm not sure he's ever going to
[248]
use I mean he spent 319 million dollars
[251]
on a double-decker jumbo jet and then
[253]
had it remodeled to make room for all
[255]
his horses and his two rolls-royce's
[257]
onboard that sent the price soaring past
[260]
500 million and since I doubt he'll be
[262]
invited anyway
[263]
where he needs a herd of animals and two
[265]
cars I think it's a pretty useless
[267]
upgrade 3.2 million dollar dog collar
[270]
everyone loves their dog there's a
[273]
reason they're called man's best friend
[274]
after all however no matter how much
[276]
money I had to spend I'm not sure I'd
[279]
ever be willing to drop 3.2 million
[281]
dollars on a dog collar yes you heard me
[284]
right the more more dog collar is 52
[287]
carrots and encrusted with 1600
[289]
individual diamonds all that money on
[291]
something the dog will either get dirty
[293]
take off at the first opportunity or
[295]
flat-out refuse to wear in the first
[297]
place $14,000 diamond tea bag tea bags
[301]
can only be used once so spending any
[304]
more money on them than necessary is a
[306]
pretty pointless idea with that said
[308]
someone out in the world owns a $14,000
[311]
tea bag made by tea company PG tipps for
[313]
their 75th anniversary the bag is
[316]
encrusted with 280 diamonds and is fully
[318]
functional but it's actually totally
[320]
useless because using it means the whole
[323]
investment literally goes down the drain
[325]
solid gold lego brick is there anything
[328]
more useless than a single Lego brick as
[330]
it turns out yes there is a solid gold
[334]
14-carat single Lego brick aside from
[337]
weighing 2.65 grams the brick can be
[340]
used just like any normal Lego brick but
[342]
you can't exactly mix it in with a bunch
[343]
of normal plastic Lego that means that
[346]
unless you're willing to fork out
[347]
another $14,000 for every gold Lego
[350]
piece you make the lonely gold brick is
[352]
destined to never be used 1.3 million
[356]
dollar surfboard be honest if you bought
[358]
a handmade surfboard for 1.3 million
[361]
dollars would you ride it I'm guessing
[363]
the answer is no it would most likely
[365]
stay on wall somewhere where it couldn't
[367]
get dirty or break the funny thing about
[369]
this item is that it's maker insisted it
[371]
wasn't useless and that every decision
[373]
was made to give it the best ride
[375]
possible however I'm not sure the line
[377]
painted on the bottom with real gold is
[379]
adding to the ride at all if you ask me
[381]
7.5 million dollar poker set poker is a
[385]
great way to lose money so maybe it's
[387]
not surprising that some millionaires
[388]
decided to throw away money on the
[390]
actual poker set itself the most
[392]
expensive poker set in the world
[394]
contains cards that are platinum plated
[396]
and white
[396]
Gold chips embellished with everything
[398]
from rubies white and black diamonds
[400]
emeralds and even sapphires the result
[403]
is a set that will set you back 7.5
[405]
million dollars which means you don't
[408]
even have to put any money on the chips
[410]
glace luxury ice cubes now 325 dollars
[414]
might not sound like a huge amount to
[416]
spend on something if you're a
[417]
millionaire but what if I told you that
[419]
that's how much a bag of 50 ice cubes
[422]
cost that's right millionaires will
[424]
spend over three hundred dollars on a
[426]
bag of luxury ice cubes which are
[428]
supposed to keep your drink cold while
[430]
remaining absolutely tasteless that
[432]
makes each cubes $6.50 which is surely
[436]
more than the price of the actual drink
[438]
itself the gold bullion mouse you'll
[441]
need thirty six thousand dollars for
[443]
this gold mouse however this computer
[446]
mouse isn't actually real gold at all
[448]
that means millionaires are paying that
[449]
much money for a totally normal Mouse
[451]
just because it's called the gold
[453]
bullion mouse when I just save yourself
[456]
the cash and take some gold spray paint
[457]
to the mouse you already have the end
[459]
result is exactly the same crystal
[461]
bathtubs I get it sinking into an ice
[465]
bath at the end of the day is an awesome
[467]
feeling however I don't think spending
[469]
two hundred and twenty seven thousand
[471]
dollars on a crystal studded bath would
[473]
actually improve your experience at all
[475]
the bath takes over 200 hours to make
[477]
because every Swarovski crystal has to
[480]
be added individually and the end result
[482]
is a super spiky bat that you definitely
[484]
wouldn't want to bump into on your way
[486]
in or out and if that wasn't crazy
[488]
enough you can also buy a dog version
[490]
for almost seven thousand dollars and
[492]
most doves don't even like baths
[494]
supreme brick now the phrase designer
[498]
brick is so ridiculous that it sounds
[500]
like it can't be real but trust me it is
[503]
when designer company supreme release
[505]
bricks embossed with their logo people
[507]
queued around the block to buy them even
[509]
though they're completely useless unless
[511]
you plan on building a house they were
[513]
only thirty dollars at the time which is
[515]
crazy for a brick but they've increased
[517]
in value ever since they sold out now it
[519]
would cost you four million seven
[521]
hundred and four thousand dollars just
[523]
to build a 24 hundred square foot house
[525]
better stick to regular bricks if you
[527]
ask me this
[529]
designer paper bag Jil Sander is a top
[532]
fashion designer and her name adds value
[534]
to whatever she puts it on just how much
[536]
value well when she created her own
[538]
designer version of a paper bag every
[540]
child for around 290 dollars now to be
[543]
fair the bag does have stitch seams and
[546]
is made from super durable material so
[548]
it might last longer than your average
[550]
paper bag even so I'm not sure it will
[553]
last long enough to make it a sensible
[554]
purchase designer logo or no designer
[557]
logo Prada
[559]
paper clips are the kind of thing you
[561]
can buy in bulk for hardly any money at
[563]
all but for some millionaires normal
[565]
paper clips just aren't good enough
[567]
don't believe me well there was enough
[569]
demand for luxury paper clips that
[571]
prouder release their own and they're a
[573]
staggering 185 dollars each to be fair
[577]
to product they have said they're not
[578]
actually paper clips they're money clips
[581]
meant to hold large stacks of cash
[582]
together which means you're wasting
[584]
money just to carry the rest of your
[586]
money around in a flashy way
[588]
Chanel boomerang when I think of items
[591]
that don't get used very much boomerangs
[593]
are pretty high up on that list however
[595]
if you're a millionaire who just can't
[597]
live without one then the one thousand
[599]
and three hundred and twenty-five
[600]
dollars Chanel version is probably your
[602]
best bet the item was part of their 2017
[605]
sportswear range and it attracted
[607]
controversy both because of its price
[609]
tag and it's alleged culture
[610]
appropriation gold dominoes set ever
[613]
felt like your Domino set just wasn't
[616]
bullying enough well me neither
[618]
but if you have then how about this one
[620]
hundred and fifty three thousand dollar
[622]
set made entirely of solid gold
[624]
each studded with actual diamonds in
[626]
total that's one hundred and sixty eight
[628]
or 15 carats of white diamonds and 2.4
[631]
kilograms of 18 karat gold this would be
[635]
a useless buy even if you were super
[637]
into dominoes but let's face it when was
[639]
the last time you even saw anybody play
[641]
diamond barbie necklace spending money
[644]
on expensive jewelry is kind of a waste
[646]
but at least you can actually wear it
[648]
however this millionaire spent over
[650]
three hundred thousand dollars
[652]
one carat square cut pink diamond
[654]
necklace that you couldn't even wear as
[657]
a ring confused
[658]
well this necklace was actually made for
[660]
a doll and was sold an option around the
[662]
neck of an actual Barbie I mean I guess
[664]
it's good that it was sold because the
[666]
money went to charity but also what use
[668]
could anyone possibly have for that four
[671]
hundred and fifty thousand dollar watch
[673]
expensive watches are nothing new and
[675]
they're actually one of the more useful
[677]
things that millionaires spend their
[678]
money on with that said this watch costs
[681]
four hundred fifty thousand dollars in
[683]
the price has nothing to do with how
[685]
good it is at telling the time so why
[687]
the crazy price tag
[689]
well the strap is made from metal that
[690]
came from the melted down Apollo 11 and
[693]
fibers from real spacesuits have been
[695]
woven into it not only that but the face
[697]
contains real moon dust which has been
[699]
melted down into the glass pretty cool I
[702]
know especially if you're super
[703]
passionate about space but it's still
[705]
not any more useful than I want you to
[707]
buy for a fraction of the price golden
[710]
toilet I've already made the joke about
[712]
flushing money down the toilet but what
[714]
if the toilet itself was a complete
[716]
waste of cash this toilet is both fully
[719]
functional and made of eighteen karat
[721]
solid gold and there's no guessing how
[723]
much it's worth now this is actually an
[725]
art piece so it's not meant to be used
[727]
but it is meant to show how ridiculous
[729]
spending money on pointless things is
[731]
the ultimate joke is that the piece is
[733]
actually called America and I'm
[735]
seriously not making that up
[737]
Diamond contact lenses if you always
[740]
want your eyes to sparkle these contact
[742]
lenses can help I mean the Shekar eye
[745]
Research Center has started selling
[747]
diamond encrusted contact lenses and a
[749]
pair will set you back fifteen thousand
[751]
dollars the good news is the diamonds
[753]
don't actually affect your vision so you
[755]
can wear them and still see perfectly
[757]
however since they don't improve your
[759]
eyesight either they're totally useless
[761]
except for fashion purposes and they're
[763]
more creepy than fashionable anyway so
[765]
they're useless they're too did you like
[767]
any of the items on this list and what's
[769]
the most useless thing you've ever
[771]
bought and how much did it cost
[773]
let me know in the comments down below
[774]
and thanks for watching
