35 Times People Spotted Such Useless And Overpriced Items, They Could Only Describe Them As ‘Stupid Stuff Rich People Buy’
InterviewFor most of us, the 99 percenters, the lives of the rich are a complete and utter mystery. After all, these enviably wealthy individuals are worlds away from the lives we lead. They own multiple homes. They have garages full of fancy cars. Basically, they own the best of everything. While it’s already mind-boggling to imagine the scale of such wealth, the insanely super-rich take status symbols to a whole other level.
If you ever wondered what kind of ridiculous items they waste their fortunes on, then the 'Stupid Stuff Rich People Buy' Twitter account is the place to be. This relatively new social media project scours the web for the wildest, weirdest, and just plain dumb things (lots of) money can buy.
Below, we've wrapped up a collection of some of the most ludicrous items shared by the page. So sit back, buckle up, and get ready for a wild ride where guinea pig armors, diamond-encrusted toenail clippers, and $3,200,000 collars that make dogs look more glamorous than the rest of the population are only the start of the entertainment that follows. Keep reading to also find our interview with the creator of the account, Dane. Then be sure to upvote your favorite pictures, and let us know what you think about them in the comments!

I want one.... no ... I want two (never adopt only one guinea pig) ^^
Does it even work? Because it looks like the diamond-encrusted tumor blocks the lever from its function.
This is horrible. Due to differences in size and gestation periods, cats that are used for hybrid breeding often suffer from health problems or die as a result of it. Please stop playing god by breeding animals for “aesthetic” value or supporting this by buying them…
So basically you can take any product, put a designers stamp on it and sell it to an idiot.
Just imagine how much help you could provide giving that amount of money to some local shelters instead - I know, people can do with their own money whatever they like, however, I still hope that common sense isn't going completely extinct any time soon...
Imagine buying this but your handwrite still looks like from kindergarteen
Wait - are you meant to put caviar in the middle, or is that just the brand? /jk
This is probably the stupidest of all the quirks. Not only is it absurdly expensive, it is also damn unnecessary. That and a swimsuit that you can't swim in.
I'll never understand why people buy gear from companies that specialize in fashion. Tommy Hilfiger watches, or Versace watches, a bike from Gucci ...
So let me get this straight. It costs $68,500, it’s made of CRYSTAL so basically leaded GLASS, its trim is made from gold which is a SOFT metal—-and you’re going to whack the f**k out of it with a cricket bat? It’s going to take a shitload of these to finish one game, and woe be it for the cricketers if they fall down on all that broken glass. (/s, ffs, I know it’s just for display.)
Those who buy $3.2M pianos for no other reason than they're rich and looking to impress others will earn my respect once they play Godowsky's Passacaglia on it. (For those who look up Passacaglia, listen to Sirrala's interpretation of it. 7:39 and 11:45 are the best parts in my opinion).
You can have mine for half that price. Remember, you only own the Non Fungible Token (NFT), a number of bytes on a server, not the art or its copyright. Here's mine: NFTs-632c0...ae65d6.jpg
This is neither funny, weird nor ridiculous. It costs that much because it's a lab grown prototype of hopefully much cheaper and eco-friendly technology. It's the same thing as car companies spending $3 million to build a prototype for a $30k car. I really want to see lab grown burger patties in my supermarket that no animal had to die for.
If something is going to cost THAT much, shouldn't it at least look nice?
Items this expensive are wasteful in my humble opinion. "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should", category. If the ego wasn't involved, I could see the artestry in some of these items. But ego is absolutely involved in the creation, and the purchase. My shoes came from a thrift store, while they bought directly from an overpriced designer for the label and likely for product validation Guess what? Everyone's shoes get dirty.
Thank goodness for people who buy expensive stuff get bored of it and give it to charity shops
