This Star Wars X-Wing Pen Costs Over $1800, Astromech Not Included

Posted on by

As far as fancy pens go, I can’t think of anything geekier than this S.T. Dupont Star Wars X-Wing rollerball pen. Or more expensive, but we’ll get to that. This is a beautiful desk accessory for the wealthy. I know what you’re thinking – how can you write with this pen? Wouldn’t the wings get in the way and give me some wrist ailment if I tried?

It’s all good. See, it starts off as a regular pen and when you are finished with your important rich people busy work and want to have a toy to play with, you add the wings and other parts on.

Think of it as part pen, part model that you can build. This is the deluxe version of the pen and it has 13 different pieces that you have to piece together. Those pieces all come in a schmancy black lacquered wood box, lined with suede, of course.

If you have a spare $1,835.46(USD) you can pick one up here. Just 1977 of these pens are being made, so if you’ve got the money, you’d better move fast.

These Chanel Tennis Balls Cost $475

Posted on by

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.

This $45,000 Watch Has a Drop of 155 Year-old Whisky Inside

Posted on by

This watch from Wealth Solutions and Swiss watchmaker Louis Moinet comes with a shot of whisky. Each of the 50 limited edition watches will contain a single drop of an exceptionally rare and old whisky, Old Vatted Glenlivet 1862.


If I want whiskey on my watch, I’ll spill it there myself and if I want whiskey inside of my watch, I’ll dip it in my glass, like a normal sane person. If you are ridiculously wealthy and like to throw your money away on whisky that you can’t drink, go for it.

Stupid rich people. This is the kind of thing that makes me want a drink.

Would You Spend $1,000 On This Box of Tequila-Infused Chocolates?

Posted on by

Look, we like Tequila and chocolates as much as the next guy, but we’re not sure we’d drop one large on a box of 24. Sure, sure, they’re fancy chocolates by none other than Kreuther Handcrafted Chocolates, but still… How do they try to justify the asking price? Handcrafted over a three day period, each box contains:

A variety of flavor profiles, including the albedo, a luxurious white chocolate with Tahitian vanilla, raisins soaked in Gran Patrón Platinum, ganache with a sable Breton crunch and Gran Patrón Platinum ganache, the nigraurum, a marbled milk chocolate with salted caramel ganache of Patrón Extra Añejo 5 Años and the cuprium, a shimmering, copper-hued milk chocolate filled with ginger and pumpkin spice and a ganache of limited edition Patrón Extra Añejo 7 Años.

So yeah, it’s a luxury item meant to be purchased by people whose standards of living and perception of what things costs is different from ours. So, what the heck, let them have their fun. We’ll go dry our regular folk tears while eating a bag of M&Ms.

This Awesome Rocket Pen Has a Price That Is out of This World

Posted on by

If you like writing with fancy pens, MB&F and Switzerland-based pen maker Caran d’Ache have created a beautiful pen in the shape of a rocket ship. It is called the Astrograph and it was four years in the making. It may just be the coolest pen ever.

The cap has retractable landing gear and a tiny ladder for a miniature, magnetic astronaut figure, and the packaging doubles as a launch pad display stand.

The pen features an ink pump but can also work with cartridges. Its nib is made from rhodium-plated 18K gold, and its body can be had in rhodium-plate or ruthenium-anthracite plate. Both can be done in either matte or polished finishes.

Each version is limited to 99 pieces. Sadly, the price is astronomical at roughly $20,000 per pen. This is one pen that you don’t want to lose.
