Let’s start with probably the most useful product out of this list so that you don’t lose all your marbles at how ridiculous some of these products’ prices may seem to you.

This Theodent toothpaste company sells their Theodent 300 toothpaste product for around $99.99. Why is it so expensive, you ask? Well, Thodent claim and show data that their toothpaste works better in remineralizing enamel and hardening teeth than the many top toothpaste companies out there. They can do this without using fluoride which is incredible as you might know fluoride is good and works very well at hardening teeth but it’s also known to have some health risks.

Their data also showed that it worked better than fluoride. How do they do that? Well, they use cocoa from plants in their toothpaste. They extract the good part of cocoa called ‘Theobromine’ which is then mixed with calcium and phosphate. Unlike fluoride, it is not harmful to our bodies, therefore there’s no problem if it is swallowed. There would seem to be nothing unique about mint toothpaste, but THEODENT have come up with a toothpaste that contains a unique patented component called Rennou: after first use, it strengthens and protects teeth throughout the day.

2.Carbon Fiber Toilet Seat – $249

You have to admit that of all the crazy expensive toilets made of costly materials the carbon fiber toilet seat actually looks pretty cool. Not to mention it beats the 24K gold toilet seat by leaps and bounds in terms of practicality. Gold is flimsy, but this freaking toilet seat will be around longer than you will

3.Gold Light Switch – $250

Any respectable modern home owner wouldn’t be caught dead with a clapper, but that doesn’t mean rich people have to get out of bed to turn off a light themselves. How absurd! No, they have a gold wireless light switch encased in Lucite at their bedside. What’s $250 to never be bothered with something so tedious again?

4.Luxury Frisbees – $305

Your old plastic frisbee may hold a special place in your heart, but it doesn’t reflect your penchant for frivolous luxury items quite the same way the Leather Flying Disc Geoffrey Parker does. These fancy frisbees fly surprisingly far, although you’ll probably never toss one in the yard for fear of tossing away $305.

5.Little Something Gold Vibrator – $325

Why does this vibrator cost $325? Is it because this Little Gold toy is silent, or because it’s waterproof and long lasting? Or does it simply come down to the fact that it’s made of 24k gold? Either way, being rich is about indulging yourself and is there really a better way to do that than with a 24K Gold vibrator you can use in in your giant indoor swimming pool?

6.Leather Keyboard – $603

Plastic? Pu-lease. When you have the perfect manly study, complete with rich leather chairs, a full liquor cabinet, a fireplace and let’s throw in a 50 inch plasma TV for good measure… would you have a cheap plastic keyboard on top of your solid mahogany desk? Absolutely not. You would have a soft leather keyboard with monogrammed keys to compliment your lavish surroundings. Considering your tastes, $603 for Gokukawa Leather Keyboard will barely make a dent in your budget.

7.$638 headphones

They say music sounds much better through GOLDSTRIKER headphones because you're wearing real 24-carat diamonds in your ears. If you want to check them out yourself, they won't come cheap.

8.Tiffany Tennis Ball Can – $1,500

Be honest, the only reason you even play tennis is to network with the other rich guys at your country club. Since you’re playing to impress, why not get a fancy can to keep your balls in? Of course because it’s Tiffany, this particular tennis ball can is made of sterling silver and will set you back $1500.

9.Gold Backpack – $1,650

Where’s the fun in being incredibly rich unless you’re also incredibly flashy? The gold rucksack by the Billionaire Boys Club features their trademark diamond dollar pattern, making an excessively expensive item even more over the top. With only 4 of these available at $1650 it’s anyone’s guess at how long before they sell out.

10.A $13,400 pencil

Yes, even pencils are made with gold and diamonds nowadays. In celebration of Faber Castell’s 204th anniversary, the Ultimate Graf von Faber-Castell Perfect Pencil was created in 2001. The Ultimate pencil is worth a staggering price of $12, 800. Thus it has claimed the title- yes, you have guessed it- the world’s most expensive pencil title.

It is made of 240-year-old olive wood. The cap is made out of 24-carat white gold and the top of the cap is studded with 3 diamonds. Only 10 of them had been produced.

11.Nesmuk Diamond Studded Knife – $39,600

As it turns out the world’s sharpest knife is also the world’s most expensive. And for reasons we can’t understand comes with a matching ring, although for $39600 you’d expect a little something extra. This pricey piece of cutlery consists of a carbon steel blade and a sterling silver handle adorned with 8 diamonds.

12.Crocodile Skin Umbrella – $50,000

Maybe crocodile skin would make sense as an efficient water repellent if it wasn’t so damn expensive. At $50000 this umbrella should come with someone to follow you around holding it over your head… seriously that beats a blogger’s salary. Hey rich guys, if you’re reading this, skip the crocodile skin and hire me to hold a regular umbrella over your head. That’ll definitely get your more attention at eccentric rich guy parties.

13.A $100,000 razor

How about buying a Zafirro razor made of something extraterrestrial? This is not a joke: the handle is made from a metal that can only be found in the residue of meteorites. As for the blades, they're made of white sapphire, and the pivot pins are platinum. Have you already made some room in your bathroom for this baby?

14.Vacuum cleaner - $1 million

This vacuum cleaner is decked out in all gold making it worth a groundbreaking $1 million. Only 100 of them were said to be produced. Everything is coated with a layer of 24k gold except for its motor, wheels, and bag and weighs about 16 pounds. Naturally, it is the most expensive vacuum cleaner in the world that you can find out there. You might wonder what kind of rich person would be interested in buying it because most likely a rich person wouldn’t fancy cleaning or vacuuming their mansion, so why would it be a useful purchase? Well, we think rich people who like to collect rare expensive stuff might be interested in it.

15.A $3,000,000 teapot

Nothing special, just a teapot from Chitra's collection. It's made from gold, and decorated with 1,500 diamonds and 500 rubies. A common item for those who can freely dispose of their money. And $3 mln isn't even its final price, because there are several potential buyers.
