Making it, Spending it... What a predicament! Once you’ve made your fortune, how should you spend it? we’ve some suggestions for exercising some über-wealthy spending habits! Once you’ve made your money, you’ll need to develop expensive tastes and a knack for appreciating the finer things in life. Top of the list must come an Aston Martin DBS Volante. With a 6.0V12 engine, and a £168,000 price tag, its the last word in motoring luxury. For travelling slightly further afield though, we recommend Sunseeker’s 45m yacht. At around £12.5m, with four decks and room for 12 guests, 8 crew, and enough power from two diesel engines to cruise at 20knots, it’s
£8,000
the last word in luxury at sea. Where better to sail than your own private Seychelles spa island? For £8,000 per week you can enjoy a private beach, butler, and dedicated spa courtesy of Elegant Resorts. During supper, may we recommend a magnum of the £7,000 1982 Château Petrus from Antique Wines... and as you’ll be dressing for dinner, what better by way of a finishing touch than US jeweller Sterns’s $3.4m diamond necklace (not pictured)?
