At times, one might think that multimillionaires compete with each other, and try to find out who will do the strangest, most bizarre and even the most insane things. And it’s quite logical when you think about it: when you get astronomical sums of money, you can only spend them on something that is not for sale. And there, everything depends on the imagination, which is only limited by the laws of physics. Although … not always!

WittyBubbles has discovered how millionaires are spending their money and has selected seven original purchases.

1. Clive Palmer: the construction of “Titanic II”

Australian politician Clive Palmer announced in 2013 that he would build the Titanic II. It will be an exact copy of the most famous boat in history, but with improved functions in terms of technical possibilities and with more modern safety parameters: for example, it will have a more robust hull and a sufficient amount of canoes. rescue. It should be finished by 2022.

Richard Branson, the founder of the Virgin Group, spent $ 200 million on the construction of a space shuttle. In the near future, he plans the organization of trips in orbit for all those interested and especially for those who can afford a flight to $ 250,000. The shuttle has not yet begun to transport tourists, but more than  900 tickets have already been sold so that the cost of its construction is already amortized.

3. Stephen Cohen: the purchase of a tiger shark

View this post on Instagram

🦈🦈 Damien Hirst, Tate Modern, 2012. 🦈🦈 . I remember this show like it was yesterday. I snook in as I couldn't afford the entry. Despite the dismay and hype from many, for me the installation works blew my mind. Today I'm not so sure. There is no disputing the importance of the YBA movement and Hirsts conceptual works but the paintings and such were a bore. . Pictured is the The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living 1991. "In keeping with the piece's title, the shark is simultaneously life and death incarnate in a way you don't quite grasp until you see it, suspended and silent, in its tank. It gives the innately demonic urge to live a demonic, deathlike form.£ Quote via the New York Times. . #damienhirst #thephysicalimpossibilityofdeathinthemindofsomeoneliving #tatemodern #damienhirsttreasures #kunstwerk #artlovers #artgaleries #londonexhibition

Multi-millionaire Stephen Cohen loves collecting items that are out of the ordinary. Thus in 2004, he bought a shark kept in a transparent solution so that the animal does not disintegrate, for the sum of … 12 million US dollars! It is a work by the artist Damien Hirst entitled ” The physical impossibility of death in the spirit of a living being” . Two years later, it was discovered that the solution used was not adequate and that the shark was beginning to decompose. So Stephen simply replaced the solution and placed a new shark in the tank.

4. Sheikh Hamad: engraving one’s own name in the earth

During our childhood, we like to mark our objects with our first names so that everyone sees who they belong to. And it’s very much in the same spirit that Sheikh Hamad, by buying his own island in 2004, had his name written there. The inscription HAMAD, whose dimensions are 1,700 meters by 500, can be seen from space. Nevertheless, two years later, Hamad was already tired. He therefore covered the inscription with sand. Even so, the label on Google Maps has remained on this site.
