Here are four of the most ridiculous tech items that only the ultra-rich can afford.
Triton personal submarine
For some rich people, having cars, boats, and planes isn’t enough – that’s where Triton’s personal submarine comes in.
The ‘submersibles’, as the company calls them, are designed by a professional team to help you comfortably explore the ocean.
Most of Triton’s submersibles – there are a few to choose from – can accommodate up to two people and can easily park in a super-yacht garage.
A typical Triton submersible has the ability to dive to 660 ft – five times deeper than Scuba.
These submarines will only set the elite back around $3.5 million – and that’s just the starting cost.

‘Smart’ Gucci ring
If you like wearing 18k gold and want to monitor your sleep activity – then the Gucci x Oura ring is for you.
Starting at $850, this ring analyzes your REM sleep, nightly heart rate, and deep sleep to help optimize your bedtime schedule.

“With 24/7 heart rate monitoring, seven temperature sensors, and sleep analysis, the smart ring decodes each individual day through three daily scores measuring sleep, activity, and readiness,” Gucci writes on its website.
If you want to be healthier and have money to blow, you might as well do it with designer jewelry.

Martin Jetpack
If you’re rich and want to know what it’s like to fly, you can always just dish out $150,000 to $250,000 for your own jetpack.
The next-generation Martin Jetpack has a lift capacity of 221 lbs and an operating time of one-and-a-half hours.
Users can also fly at impressive speeds up to 62 mph, and at a flight ceiling of 5,000 ft.
And for safety measures, the device comes equipped with a fail-safe parachute that can deploy as low as 6 meters.
Bang & Olufsen Beolab 90 speakers

If you want an entertainment system that doesn’t look like an entertainment system, then you’ll want to pick up Bang & Olufsen’s Beolab 90 speaker duo.
The pair of 50-inch speakers, which are designed with sleek, minimalist lines, double as really expensive-looking pieces of furniture.
And that makes sense when you consider that the speakers cost $110,000.
Offered in five different colors, the speakers are “built for audiophiles,” with 8,200 watts per speaker, and 18 premium drivers.
