Spend your surplus moolah in an extravagant way

Got more moolah than you can handle? Five extravagant experiences that border on the audacious.

VIRGIN GALACTIC SPACESHIPTWO
Price $250,000
Skimming through the star-studded expanse of the Milky Way ensconced in a spaceship of luxurious proportions is now a fantasy within your reach, thanks to the enterprising efforts of Richard Branson. It comes, of course, at a price. The two subtorial spacecrafts of the Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo have plush, roomy interiors, fitted with recliners and a well-stocked mini-bar. The space-immersion experience requires training sessions that demonstrate skills of floating in zero gravity without bumping into co-passengers. Zero what, you ask? Watch some Big Bang Theory.

GUMBALL RALLY 3000
Price $60,000
Menacing headlights glow as it lets out a low growl and arches its back. Unable to take your eyes of its raw muscle power, you step back and the supercar disappears in a cloud of dust. The Gumball Rally 300 is where the top honchos of the auto world come to show off their metal monsters. What's more, the seven-day road trip from Miami to Ibiza relies on uninhibited partying to soothe your tired limbs after hours of driving.
