They say that “money can’t buy you happiness” but have you ever seen a sad man inside a Lamborghini? We’re not saying that rich people don’t have any problems, but they have one less they have to worry about. Rich people don’t have to think about how to make ends meet, they busier thinking of how to spend their enormous amounts of money. Some people… Okay, most people (including us) have a hard time working day and night just to pay for the bills, but these guys are losing sleep because they don’t know what to buy next. So if you’re interested in finding out what rich people do with all their money (and feel a little jealous) here’s a list of the 10 most outrageous things people have bought, because why the hell not?
GOLD SHIRT
Now, what says you’re rich better than having gold? Wearing a gold shirt of course. Indian politician bought himself a shirt made from pure-gold custom made for his 45th birthday. It was made entirely of 18-22 karat gold and weighed more than 4kg. He even got into the Guinness Book of World Records for “the most expensive gold shirt in the world.” Apparently, there are other people with gold shirts. It was worth at a whopping $161,354.
FISHING LURE
If you hear the word “fisherman” you don’t immediately think of someone extremely rich. In most countries throughout the world, fishermen are having a hard time just to make a living and feed their families. Well, if you like fishing and you become filthy rich, you could buy a $1,000,000 fishing lure. It’s made of three pounds of gold and platinum and it has about 100 karats of diamonds and rubies all over.
GUINEA PIG ARMOR

LUXURY ICE CUBES
We know what you’re thinking, “how could ice be expensive? It’s literally just frozen water!” Well, a California-based company called Gläce Luxury Ice Co was able to make ice a luxury item that only the ridiculously rich can afford (well why would you want to buy expensive ice anyway?) These ice cubes are hand-carved and are completely clear; made for “minimum dilution and maximum cooling.” A bag of 50 pieces is worth $325.
GOLD BICYCLE
