35 Times People Spotted Such Useless And Overpriced Items, They Could Only Describe Them As ‘Stupid Stuff Rich People Buy’
Interview
For 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!
Psst! When you're done with this list, check out Bored Panda’s previous post about crazy things rich people spend their money on.

This is not stupid. Is there anyone who, if they became a billionaire, would *not* be tempted by the idea of guinea pig armor? Even if you didn't have guinea pigs, you could display it on a stand in a glass case as a work of art. In fact, I now want to see guinea pig samurai armor, because that would also be epic.

I might have mentioned this before, but I worked for Gucci some years back. Nothing they make is worth the price. That's why they have a "we repair everything for life" guarantee. There was an older Italian man that barely spoke any English who would spend every day repairing clothing that customers would bring back. And he was pressured all day by management because of so much backed up work he had. Low quality clothing. You pay to wear the name.

There are other swimsuits which are clearly designed not to go anywhere near a pool. Like athleisure wear you can't work out in, or raincoats that are absorbent instead of hydrophobic - these things are to look good in and serve no practical purpose; the wearers don't engage in anything more strenuous than posing, pouting and complaining that they're important.

Like those poor Scottish Fold cats. I keep seeing them in American commercials, and it really chafes my bottom.

But how many generations were bred before these cats were OK to adopt? I believe, from reading about the Siberian Fox Experiments, it takes like 30 generations of breeding for mild temperament before an animal can be considered domesticated enough to be a pet. Otherwise, if the wild isn’t bred out of them, it could come to the surface—-especially when they’re in heat—-and you face being totally shredded by your pet cat.

This guy was from my city of Pune. I was working in a tabloid when this story came up. Our tabloid covered him first (the things we do for news) and the story was picked up by BBC too. My friend did the story (not happy about it). He was murdered in recent times in the most horrendous way. Apparently he ran some money scam thing... chit fund it is known in India. People wanted their money back. One day, got attacked by around 10-15 men who beat him up and one of them (i think his nephew) crushed his head with a big stone. His teenage son witnessed this attack. Money and scams can kill you literally. In fact, you see a lot of such people in and around my city wearing huge gold and silver chains. Many get big selling lands to companies and are suddenly rich. Money literally goes to their head,

Dumb and ugly, but I would like to see how it's made. It takes some skills.
When asked whether Dane faces any difficulties with managing the account, he explained that the biggest challenge is when he happens to be wrong. "I'm not perfect, and sometimes if I don't know the intricacies of a certain community, I price things wrong."
"Recently I posted an in-game cosmetic for the game Counter-Strike and got called out by a massive Counter-Strike creator when I posted the wrong price for something."
"I had a lot of Counter-Strike fans in my mentions that were mad at me," he continued, "I made amends with them and posted a couple (accurately priced) items from the game, including a digital knife skin that's worth over 1.5 million USD."

We were also curious to know what makes Dane decide whether an image is worth sharing or not. "There are two big factors that go into deciding what to post — cost and utility. I've posted things that are relatively cheap in the grand scheme of things, $50 or so, but those things are often utterly useless or typically worth a dollar or less," the creator told us. "For example, a $55 single coffee pod or an $85 rock partially wrapped in leather."
"Otherwise, I just tend to post things that the average person would never even dream of buying like a $12,000 bathtub for small dogs. At the end of the day, I just ask myself the question: would a reasonable person making a normal amount of money even consider buying this?" Well, all it takes is a brief scroll through the feed to prove that most of us definitely wouldn't.

I did my major in metalsmithing, and was taught under a master goldsmith/enamelist. One of the things I learned was how to price your items. It's usually material cost times ten, plus an hourly rate for your time, however much you think your time is worth. The current price of gold is $1,675 per ounce. I have no idea what the pen weighs, but the enamel appears to be some mixture of fusing and champleve, which is admittedly difficult. Plus then you'd have to polish it, and polishing glass by hand takes forever. If the pen is solid gold and the pieces are all actually made by hand, maybe it really is worth that much. It'd be interesting to know if this is a custom job.

Wow. I was convinced that nobody made less appealing stuff than Louis Vuitton, but now I am no longer sure.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with being rich per se, as accumulating wealth is something many people strive for. But these objects designed for the crazy super-rich almost beg to be judged by the broader society.
Why do they drop major coins on these puzzling objects when there are heaps of cheaper alternatives that serve the same function? This question is bound to pop into your mind when you find it difficult to imagine their seemingly limitless wealth. Because for the ultra-rich, money is power, and wasting them on weird items is their idea of taking status symbols to a whole different level. A stupid one, but another level nevertheless.

"hot dog meat is made of marbled Wagyu beef, dry-aged for 60 days and enriched with black truffle. A dry-aged seven rib roast of this type goes for $1,225 a pop. The hot dog meat sits between a toasted brioche bun, brushed with white truffle butter and slathered with organic, saffron-infused W Ketchup that goes for $9 a bottle and $35 mustard imported from France. The hot dog is then topped with caramelized onions that have been cooked in Dom Perignon Champagne and $389 100-year-old balsamic vinegar. The next topping, the homemade sauerkraut, is braised with champagne worth several hundred dollars and mixed with the finest caviar legally available in the U.S. This elaborate hot dog is finally topped off with relish made from $10 pickles and a shimmering gold leaf." 230 Fifth, the restaurant, gave proceeds to City Harvest, to feed the underprivileged in NYC.

Eating and drinking gold should be prohibited. It's a rare and precious material, mining it usually causes immense damage to flora, fauna and workers, and therefore, it's use should not be bound to waste it, but make the max use of the min amount in research and hightech applications. Jewelry, this idiotism, booze with gold - all of these don't really do any good, while jewelry at least conserves the amount ... eating or drinking gold just makes it join the wastewater, which makes it away. To imagine - breathe in - breath out - done? In THAT time, more cast iron was processed than the total amount of gold mankind has access to. It's a cube of like 20 meters what we, so far, have been able to collect. With a toll of thousands and thousands of workers/miners being poisoned, injured or otherwise harmed due to greed and neglective care about them, countless acres of formerly healthy woodlands have been transformed into toxic hellholes, and so on and so on. Ok, that stuff is there now ... not using it can't make any of the above undone, nothing can ... so using it responsible is something owed by anyone. Pooping out gold is not among the things I consider acceptable ... not wasting such a material, with its exclusive properties and the burden it inherits from its harvest is by any means just basic dignitiy. Sad it's ot poisonous itself, just some of the things used in the process of gathering as much as possible...

Once thought of putting edible gold leaf on brownies to bake for a charity bake sale. A booklet of about 10 business card sized leaves were priced about 25 USD, so I thought it would be worth the giggles. COVID lockdowns hit before I implement my plan.
"Other stuff is just plain stupid. Today I posted a ripped-up hoodie that has the Balenciaga logo on it, so it sells for over $1,000! That's dumb! That is objectively a waste of money, and I can't see it any other way. I think we all like to get together and laugh at the people that would consider buying things like that."
Another driver, according to Dane, is that people love to hate what he posts. "Every day I see people that don't have enough money for their basic needs, yet these people are paying more than a year's worth of my salary on a Gucci Bicycle. It's infuriating in a way that makes me want to see more."

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).

Considering the fact that the wood that pianos are made from is one of the vital components that make the, sound good (it absorbs sound to give it a deeper tone, it also vibrates which enhances each note, etc), I wonder how making a piano out of crystal would affect the overall sound of it? Seems to me the leaded glass would muffle it, and it wouldn’t vibrate so not enhance each note, so the sound would be pretty shitty. Any thoughts from accomplished piano players—-or piano tuners—-reading this?

I used to consider D&G a posh brand. Then I realized they slap their logo on a ton of c**p and instantly overcharge for it. When I saw Dolce & Gabbana dried pasta, I gave up. They are the Costco of Italy now in my eyes.

I have a 'coffee table' sized book on the Sistine Chapel. It's excellent. But I think this one may have the frescos reproduced at actual size (piecemeal, of course), as if you were standing on Michelangelo's scaffolding with him. You'd need binoculars to get that good a view in person, and your neck would hurt a lot.

So this co. made jars that at the time were a new design. They patented the use of a wire trap to improve the seal so your preserves would last longer. Unfortunately the factory burnt down so they were only made for 4 years. Original jars will sell for thousands.

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.

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.

This is incredibly shameful, that super-rich people have so much money they want to buy this c**p. There are so many people and organizations that need any money! Heck, just send it to any public school in the country, and make sure it goes to the teachers, not the administrators. Teachers are using their own money to pay for supplies for their kids, or have to give the kids a supply list that they need for school. Support medical researchers who are looking for a cure for cancer. Support people who are trying to stop climate change. Support anyone who's trying to do good, rather than buying useless unusable stupidly expensive c**p.
