These Chanel Tennis Balls Cost $475
Rich people suck. You know it and I know it. They don’t suck just because they are rich. They suck because they encourage companies to make stuff like this. Why Chanel is even making tennis balls, I have no idea. But naturally they are selling them to wealthy idiots for $475(USD), because why not?
For that price, you get four tennis balls, and they come in synthetic fabric bag, so I guess that works out to be an average of $118.75 per ball. Well in that case, these are a bargain. Go ahead and play fetch with your purse dog then.
Also, if you feel like you need to be an even bigger d-bag, you can buy a $1550 Chanel tennis racket to go along with your Chanel balls. Because why would you want a proper racquet from a proper tennis racquet company? The racket looks cheap as hell too, presumably to maximize profit from the rich and insane.

These Chanel Tennis Balls Cost $450
First of all, why is Chanel even making, or rather, selling tennis balls? And ok, let’s just overlook that for a minute. What about the fact that they’re selling these for an eye watering, mind-melting, sanity-defying $450? That’s for 4 of them. They come in a leather bag, because of course how else will anyone know you’re a rich idiot unless you carry your tennis balls in a leather bag?
It turns out that if you want to compound the idiocy, you can buy an $1,800 Chanel tennis racket to go along with your ridiculous balls. It isn’t particularly a great racket, at least that’s not why it’s that expensive, but rather it’s just that it bears the name Chanel. Isn’t the world grand?
