When we get a brand-new gadget, we feel like we’re on top of the world. Sometimes, though, technology is way out of our budget. That’s when we wish our paycheck was ten times the amount it is, or we were simply famous. Life seems a lot easier when you’re rich. There’s some expensive technology out there that only the rich can afford. It looks like we need to create a weird invention in order to afford one of these things. Or maybe we need to shift our goals and set higher intentions in order to purchase one of these flashy gadgets.
Most of us never even knew these gadgets existed. Whether it’s an iPad made of dinosaur shavings, a diamond-studded television, or a robot that can lift its fingers, we’re left wondering why anyone would need these sorts of gadgets to get through their everyday lives. If you have enough money to spend on these types of things, that’s saying something. Unfortunately, this technology is something only the rich can afford. At least we get to look at it.
Apple
iPhone 13 Pro Max
Set at $999, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is a phone only the rich can afford. It has tons of great features, including splash, water, and dust resistance, which is ideal if you’re someone who constantly seems to soak your phone in a bowl of rice after dropping it in water.

This phone costs as much as a laptop, but with all those awesome features, is well worth the extra pennies (Apple).

Hydrow Rowing Machine
According to the inventors of the Hydrow Rowing Machine, everyone needs an interactive rowing machine in their living room in order to stay fit. Seriously, this is the first time we’re seeing something like this. Apparently, it’s the way of the future. The company Hydrow teamed up with artist Alex Echo to create the rowing machine.
Mashable
Paired with a unique NFT, they created a trio of limited-edition rower designs, which began in 2017. Each rower has a special experience with interactive rowing classes, all in the comfort of your own living room. The three available designs are “The Four Elements,” “Water,” and “Platinum Jubilee.” Each one is one-of-a-kind. You’ll get an intense, yet impactful full-body workout.

Better yet, you can personally schedule temperatures for each phase of the night.

It’ll also track your sleep stages and sleep time, with daily health metrics to help you stay on top of your health. This includes resting heart rate and respiratory rate. You won’t have to wake up to a blaring alarm anymore, with the alarm system you can wake to a chest-level vibration and gradual thermal change. You can easily control all the settings from your phone, too. It looks like we’ll have to stick to our phone alarm from now on, considering this is something most of us can’t afford (Eightsleep).

Stop worrying about those overcrowded streets with the Martin Jetpack, one of the most expensive inventions that only rich people can afford. Seriously, this is something from the movies, and certainly a piece of technology us normal folk will only ever dream of owning. It costs a whopping $125,000. Maybe it’s time to give up going to college and save up for a jetpack instead. It’s the closes we’ll ever get to flying like a bird.
BBC
At the very least, you’ll cover more ground with a jetpack than you would at school. It runs on gasoline fuel, which powers two large fans that lift you off the ground. It can carry over 200 pounds, which means you won’t have to go on some crazy diet and lose weight to fly around. The best part is that you don’t need any special training for this jetpack, since it has a built-in stabilizer and a parachute, if you’re in serious trouble (Mashable).

If you’re a photographer and have been looking for the ultimate camera, it’s time you start saving up for this one. Right now, it’s a piece of technology that only the rich can afford.

For those of us who are not as fortunate or talented, that’s something we’ll continue to dream of ever doing (Leica Camera USA).

Get ready to take a step up with your coffee skills with the Volumetric espresso machine. If you had the money to afford this machine, your mornings would start in style.

Unfortunately, only the rich can afford this fancy coffee machine, since it costs a whopping $9,600. Maybe it’s a better idea to stick to simple coffee for now (Majesty Coffee).
passionbuz
Hasselblad H4D-60
With wide ISO flexibility, GPS, true focus, absolute position lock, and a color monitor that allows you to look at your images anywhere, this camera is one of the most expensive cameras on the market. It’s priced at $32k and, if you’re a professional photographer, is well worth the cost.
Shutterstock
Even though it seems unreachable for most of us, if photography is your passion, then you can make this price work. For the rest of us, though, we’ll keep on dreaming. This is nearly six times the price as the other camera on this list. After seeing both of these, we realize pursuing a photography hobby is out of our budget (passiobuz).
Breitling
Exospace B55
Watches are the future. They’re so technologically advanced that they’re replacing smartphones. It has a wide range of impressive functions, including an exclusive caliber. There’s even an electronic tachymeter, and a “chrono regatta,” which is a device for recording flight and regatta times, and can also memorize departure and arrival times.
CNET
It has two ultra-legible LCD screens, and a backlight system, which can be easily activated with a simple tilt of the wrist. It has a fashionable, sporty strap. Even with all these impressive features, it still costs $8,950 (Breitling).

Hammacher Schlemmer Hovercraft
After seeing some of the inventions on this list, it comes as no surprise that a hovercraft is an actual gadget that not only the rich can buy, but can also afford. It costs $190k, and can hover at a height of 20 feet off ground. It can fly up to 70mph, and operates on water, snow, and swamps.
Hammacher Schlemmer
Take this hovercraft for a ride and impress your neighbors. Better yet, bring your friends on board, since it can carry up to 600 pounds for 160-miles. Summer just got a lot more interesting. No more bringing kayaks to the summer lake house, it’s time to step up and buy a hovercraft (passionbuz).
Doctor Drone
XactSense Titan – Doctor Drone
XactSense costs more than a semester at college. Set at $120,000, it’s a powerful drone with a design that’s making headlines. It can carry up to 50 pounds, so it’s great for scouting and disaster relief. It has an impressive range of 9.9 miles and can fly for up to 30 minutes.
If you’re used to the controller and app combo of Titan and other similar drones, then controlling it will be easy for you. As wonderful as this piece of technology is, it’s unfortunately one of those things that only the rich can afford. Maybe one day, we’ll be able to fly around a drone that costs more than $100,000 (Doctor Drone).
Whathifi
Focal Utopia
Here’s another piece of technology on this list that costs more than $100,000. They’re the “world’s most expensive headphones.” Like the drone, the Focal Utopia headphones costs $120,000 a pair. You can even add an optional stand for $12,000. With the bespoke design, you’ll see the three stages of life: the past, present and future.
Headphones.com
It’s so expensive because the design uses 18 carat gold. It’s mounted with six carats of diamonds. The headphones are impressively handcrafted in Tournaire’s workshops. It looks like we’ll have to stick to our regular headphones for a while, since these are ones that only the rich can afford (Whathifi).
Kohler Smart Toilet
Numi Smart Toilet
Going to the toilet just got a lot more fun. That is, only if you’re rich, and can afford a toilet that costs over $4,000. We never thought our trips to the toilet deserved that much attention, but apparently, they do. We’re so used to normal toilets, that we forget the daily experience could be a lot more fun.
Business Wire
With the Numi Smart toilet, you’ll get a heated seat, air dryer, and speakers to listen to your favorite music. You can control the toilet using a touch screen remote. Unfortunately, this is a toilet only the rich can afford, so we’ll just have to keep on dreaming about it (Mashable).

Volonic Valet 3 Limited-Edition Wireless Charging Device
When you’re out and about exploring a new city, there’s nothing worse than your phone dying on you. You’re left thinking about all those lost photos and videos you could’ve taken, and might also be literally lost in a new place.
Shouts
That’s why carrying around a wireless charging device is a good idea. If you can afford it, which most of us can’t, you could buy a wireless charging device that costs $250,000. The Volonic Valet 3 costs this much because it has an 18k gold housing and cutting-edge, advanced technology. Honestly, we’d rather let our phones die for the day than buy this absurdly expensive piece of technology (The Gadget Flow).
Headfonics
oBravo Ra C-Cu
The Ra C-Cu costs $9,999, which makes it the world’s most expensive IEM. They’re stunning headphones, to say the least, but are ones only the rich can afford. It’s quite technologically advanced. The mylar ribbon diaphragm has a dipole magnetic field. It’s different than conventional designs and moves air faster.

Because of the magnetic field, it creates a very tight and tense pressure environment. It has a warmer sound when compared to other makes and models, because of the wood-based enclosure. It has a ceramic enclosure with a finishing that protects the ceramic (Headfonics).
TF-X Flying Car
The flying cars we all fell in love with in Back to the Future are no longer a thing of our dreams, unachievable inventions we could only hope to ever see. With the TF-X flying car, which costs $350k, this dream has come true. The vehicle will seat four adults and is fueled by a gas motor.
Terrafugia
Apparently, it only takes five hours to learn how to operate. There’s a built in autopilot which serves as a safety backup. When it’s time to land, the vehicle automatically cuts its speed in half. This is the first fully autonomous flying car and is something of the future (passionbuz).

Sony VPL-VW995ES
It’s a dream to watch movies on a big screen, right in the comfort of your living room. Only the rich can afford this luxury with the VPL-VW995E. It looks like it’s time to start making rich friends. It’s a 4K home theater projector with incredible and advanced picture quality. It costs a jaw-dropping $34,999.99.
Spire Integrated Systems
This 2200 lumen laser drive home theater projector has dramatic differences when compared to other projectors. Images are sharp, vibrant, 4K and stunning, with no pixel shifting that you might see on other monitors (Project Or Reviews).

Interactive Pool Table
Playing pool is a wonderful way to bond with your friends, drink alcohol, and engage in friendly competition. Usually, we have a battered pool table in our basement that’s seen us in our most vulnerable, embarrassing selves, drunk and crying about a lost game. But that’s not true for the rich, who can afford this $25k pool table.
Communication Arts
That’s as much as a car. We’re not sure who would purchase a pool table instead of a car, but apparently, it happens. With this pool table, there are three different moods. You’ll get Reveal, Inferno, and Mercury. As the ball moves over the surface of the table, it creates waves. With this table, pool just got a lot more entertaining (passionbuz).

Devialet’s Phantom Gold Bluetooth Speaker
This is deemed the “best wireless speaker in the world.” It’s priced at $3,000, so it looks like only the rich can afford to listen to music on this speaker.

It has a unique futuristic chic vibe, and such a fascinating design that makes it stand out from the rest of the crowd. It’s also made from pure titanium. There are no sharp edges on this Bluetooth speaker, and it has tons of curves and smooth edges (Toms Guide).
Cartier
Ballon Bleu de Cartier Watch
This is one of the most beautiful watches in the world. Unfortunately, it’s a watch only the rich can afford, so it’s something that we’ll need to add to our never-ending wish list. It’s measured at 33mm and has a mechanical movement with automatic winding. The watch is designed in rose gold, with brilliant-cut diamonds and Burgundy alligator leather strap. It’s certainly a watch you’d wear to impress your friends.
Swisswatches Magazine
It costs a whopping $20,000.00. Its fluted crown is set with a sapphire cabochon. The design is something to talk about, as it has a silvered sunray-brushed dial with blued-steel sword-shaped hands. It’s also water-resistant to 3 bar, which is approximately 30 meters (Cartier).

As one of the best home energy storage solutions in the world, The Powerwall has some fascinating features, all at a reasonable price. Still, it’s only something the rich can afford, since it costs $10,500 for a single power wall, and $17,000 for two units. If there’s ever a universal power outage, at least we know the rich won’t suffer. They’ll have their backup storage solution ready to go (Solar Reviews).

Mmuse – New Touchscreen Chocolate 3D Printer
Rich people love strange types of technology, including touchscreen chocolate 3D printers. This one is something that only the rich can afford, and it costs $5,900 USD. 3D printers are the way of the future, so it’s no surprise that it costs an arm and a leg.

Humans seek tranquility. We meditate, do yoga, and find solitude in forests and mountains. The Tranquility Pod brings us this peace. It’s handcrafted from fiberglass into a shiny gel-coat surface.

All of this together induces wonderful harmony. The Tranquility Pod only has a biofeedback system that synchronizes your heart rate with 50 LEDs.

It could get a lot more interesting, though, if you have $140,000 lying around. With that money, you could buy the Christie Roadie Projector.

It plays video in 4K, at 60 frames per second. Because of its quality, it gives viewers a premium movie experience, something we would usually never get solely from our living room. To go a step further, you could also purchase a wickedly expensive television, which could cost over $2,000. Too bad these are things only the rich can afford (Mashable).

Macbook Air Supreme Platinum Edition
For a whopping $500,000, you can own the Mackbook Air Supreme Platinum Edition. We’re not sure we’d want to spend more than $1,000 on a new laptop, but it’s nice to dream. Apple products are some of the priciest products in the world, so it comes as no surprise that this laptop is an Apple product.

This laptop in particular is made using platinum and weighs 7kg. Even though it’s missing the diamonds and sapphire that many other laptops have, it still costs an absurd amount of money. This is a laptop you’d never want leaving your house because of how much it costs (Times of India).
The Second Angle
iPad 2 Gold History Edition
For $7.8 million, you could own a piece of technology that’s made of bone shavings from a 65-million year old T-Rex. But that’s not all this iPad has to offer. The front frame is made of the world’s oldest rock, Ammolite, which dates back 75 million years. It doesn’t even stop there.

Lastly, the device comes with 53 12.5 carat diamonds and logo is crafted from 24-carat gold. You have to be careful owning this device, since if someone stole it or dropped it, that’s millions of dollars down the toilet. We’re not sure we’d trust ourselves to own such a device, which is why it’s something only the rich can afford (The Second Angle).
Sound And Vision
Hart Audio D&W Aural Pleasure Loudspeakers
Priced at $4.7 million, you could seriously step up your living room party game. There’s a fine line between pleasure and the human listening experience, which is exactly what you’ll get with these speakers. The bronze version of the speakers cost $63,000 per pair and the silver version costs $300,000.
Shutterstock
Each speaker took over 200 hours to construct, which is part of the reason they’re so pricey. These speakers are all about the bass, so it might be a good idea to invest in one of these speakers. You never know what they’ll be worth in several decades (The Second Angle).
The Second Angle
Diamond BlackBerry Amosu Curva
For $240,000, you could get this limited edition BlackBerry that only the rich can afford. Why put down money for a new house, when you could own a brand new phone? There are 4,459 diamonds on the phone, which totals 28-carats.
Shutterstock
Because of its 18-carat gold body, the phone also comes with a complimentary concierge service. This BlackBerry will certainly make you stand out from the crowd. Maybe all those phone calls you used to dread having to do for work will get a lot more fun (The Second Angle).
Luxuo
Vertu Signature Cobra
Apparently, customers who purchased this phone received their delivery via helicopter. It’s like something from an action movie, but instead of a hero fighting crime, it’s a cell phone delivery.
Shutterstock
That beats going to the store and choosing a phone from a glass display. Its signature feature, a cobra, is made of 439 rubies and emerald snake eyes. The phone cost over $360,000, and only eight units were made in the entire world. Even though it’s a unique piece of technology to own, it doesn’t seem like it’s worth it (Luxuo).
Luxuo
Bang & Olufsen BeoLab 90 Speaker
Priced at nearly $80,000, these speakers are a duo that only the rich can afford. There are 18 “state-of-the-art” loudspeaker drivers and are a quirky duo that definitely had its design in mind. The speaker’s exteriors are curved, much like a piece of furniture.

They were constructed by a Danish audio company, and, according to them, is said to be “a culmination of our wildest dreams.” They’re part of our wildest dreams, too, since they’re something we’ll never be able to afford (Luxuo).
The Richest
Richard Mille RM 69
We know at least one celebrity that adores this watch, and it’s Drake. This watch costs as much as a house. It sells for $750,000. That’s a lot of zeros. It’s semi-transparent and has the words “I Want to Caress You Tonight” on the top. It looks like a watch from the Terminator, because of its very robotic style.
Shutterstock
We’re not sure we’d want to spend even as much as $50 on this watch. But it looks like there are some rich people out there who can afford to spend a lot more than that. Drake must have a lot of confidence being able to walk around and wear a watch with this quote on it. This isn’t something most of us will ever see ourselves doing, but it’s fascinating that there are people out there who do this (The Richest).
CEO World
Jarre iPod and iPad Docks
If you have the money, you might want to check out the world’s tallest iPod dock. These stellar pieces of technology go for over $500,000. They’re available in three different colors, so you’ll get to choose one that fits your liking. With an output of 10,000, these speakers will take you on a sound journey you’ve never been on before.
Shutterstock
Luckily, it’s compatible with all devices, so you don’t need a specific phone or iPad to use it. They were created by Jean Michael Jarre and reach eleven feet high, which is twice as tall as most humans (CEO World).
La Cotre des Montes
Poison Dart Frog Watch
This watch sells for more than $100,000, and for good reason. Its features include 18k gold screws and a 22k gold-rotor frame. The Swiss company successfully managed to make a unique watch that can tell time from many different angles.
Shutterstock
Apparently, we need to be able to tell time from more angles than one. If you’re a flashy hot shot and like showing off, then this watch may be just for you. Since only the rich can afford this one, the rest of us need to stick to our Walmart watches (CEO World).

201 Carat Chopard Watch
If you’ve ever wanted to own a watch that costs $25 million, then now is your chance. We’re not sure who has that kind of money lying around, and why they would spend it on a watch, but apparently it happens. Even though only extremely wealthy people can afford this watch, it’s still nice to look at and pretend we can own it, too. It was launched in the year 2000 and made in Switzerland.
Shutterstock
What makes it so expensive is the 874 high-grade diamonds that are all different colors, of blue, white, and pink. A pink diamond sits in the middle of the watch and weighs over 15 carats. There are also 26 pear-shaped diamonds that weigh over 17 carats. When pressed, a spring-loaded mechanism exposes three heart-shaped stones that open like flower petals (passionbuz).

Segway S-Pod
This self-balancing vehicle is one way to get around while fully relaxing. All you have to do is turn the knob to navigate the streets in style. Unfortunately, this futuristic pod is something only the rich can afford. It has a center of gravity control system, so you don’t have to worry about suddenly toppling over.
Engadget
Walking is so overrated, because now, you get to explore in egg-shaped style. This certainly saves walking around a city for hours on end, or relying on public transportation to get around. If it’s a beautiful, sunny day, and you own a Segway S-pod, then why not take it for a spin? These are the inventions of the future (passionbuz).

Dark Knight Home Theatre
After watching Batman, there might’ve been a part of you that wished you could relive every part of the movie again and again. Fortunately, it’s possible with a Dark Knight home theater, but unfortunately, this is a high-tech gadget only the rich can afford.
Shutterstock
The entire theater costs over $2 million. It comes with a 180-inch screen TV, elevators, cave-like walls, a grandfather clock, gargoyles, and a bat symbol. To top it all off, there’s a 30-foot hidden exit that goes through a tunnel. Talk about being Batman’s biggest fan (passionbuz).

Wrensilva M1 Wooden Record Console
Premium sound quality comes at a cost, and that cost is $10,999. This record console is beautiful to look at, and the luxurious wooded design comes with six listening modes. It’s exactly what the artist intended when they built this console for design and quality.

If you’ve ever wanted a statement piece for your living room, then this piece of technology is exactly what you need. One day, maybe it’ll be something you can afford (The Gadget Flow).
