The Hilltop Estate Owner’s Accommodation at the Laucala Island Resort in Fiji
Laucala is one of a triplet of small islands that lie to the east of Thurston Point on the island of Taveuni in Fiji. The privately owned islands are the site of the exclusive Laucala Resort.
Not only is this villa $40,000 a night, but you can’t just book the room. You have to apply for the privilege of giving them enough money to pay the equivalent of most four-year in-state college tuitions over the course of a day.
The entire island is owned by Red Bull’s billionaire owner and consists of 25 villas, but this is the best. It has panoramic views of the island, free massages, horse rides and many more.

How Much: $550
To commemorate this French chocolatier’s
200th anniversaire in 2000, “Le Livre” (book, in French) debuted. Thirty-five
chocolates (a mix of ganaches and pralines) are arranged in a gold-embossed
leather box that resembles a handsome book, more like an encyclopedia. Fifteen
years later, this beauty is still in the chocolatier’s portfolio, which also
features truffles, bonbons, hot-chocolate chips, white-chocolate bars and
“Pistoles De Marie Antoinettes” (gold coins).
DeLafée of Switzerland’s Gold Chocolate Box (8 chocolates)
How much: $330
Edible 24-karat gold flakes are wrapped
into the chocolate, but that’s not the only gold in this goodie. It comes with
a gold coin from the Swiss national bank that was minted between 1910 and 1920
and is valued at $133. Another reason for the steep price is craftsmanship. “We
apply each gold leaf by hand,” the chocolatier says. Then it goes a step
further by packaging it in a silk-draped wood box.

It took Nike 27 years to finally make a real, auto-lacing Nike Mag like Marty McFly wore in Back to the Future Part II, but they were only able to create 100 pairs.
