7 Great Products for Telling the World You're a Rich Dick
The thing about being super rich is that you eventually run out of things to buy. You can only live in so many houses, or drive so many cars, or pay to have so many enemies killed.
Fortunately, before you ever get so desperate as to, say, give money to the poor, there is a whole industry devoted to inventing ridiculous things to waste it on.

So let's say your ass has grown raw from wiping it with all the extra cash you have laying around. You're desperate to get rid of some of it and have already bought all of the nice sports cars the world has to offer. What's left? Charity? Ha, no.

They'd probably just spend it on something stupid. Like poor people.
Luckily, Paul Dalton will relieve you of nearly $12,000 to give your grotesquely overpriced luxury car the wash it deserves.
We know what you're thinking; this is some crazy guy who's priced his car washes into the stratosphere thinking if just five people fall for it, he can retire. Not so; the service is so popular among the "money to burn" crowd that he has a nine-month waiting list. Which means our Italian sports cars will remain mud covered most of the year (we like to go off-roading and play touch football in our Lamborghinis).
But what does an $11,500 car wash get you? Once Paul gets his OCD hands on our vehicle, the magic begins. Paul spends three days working his 61-step process. Once he's washed the thing a few dozen times, Paul whips out the ultrasound depth gauge so he can buff out microscopic scratches only 1000th of a millimeter deep. Then Paul finally applies the wax by extensively "massaging" the car with his bare hands.

Basically this, but the girls are one guy named Paul.
OK we get it; Paul gives your car an erotic massage with a happy ending. That's great but seeing how we could get 150 real erotic massages with real happy endings for the same money, we'll stick to taking the bus.

Now that you've got your car washed and waxed with a compound made from the crushed eyeballs of white tiger cubs (not true, but that would make more sense) you might as well park that baby somewhere really nice. Like a third of a million dollars nice.

Admittedly, it may take a while to put in all those quarters.
Buying and selling parking spaces apparently isn't all that uncommon in places like the Back Bay in Boston, where parking is short. Real Estate agents broker the deals just like they were selling houses, and in that area prices routinely reach six figures.
But at least the undisclosed buyer of the $300,000 space (believed to be the most ever paid for a parking space, and we pray it is) probably got some pretty wicked amenities with this pricey Boston parking spot, right? Climate-controlled, purified and dehumidified air 24-hours a day? Mood lighting? A pretty woman to come around nightly and whisper erotic car-oriented poetry to your vehicle? A house for your family to live in?

Security?
Nope. For more than the price of most people's homes all they got was a rectangular chunk of concrete... outside and uncovered.
For that kind of money we're thinking we'd rather pay for the Transformer conversion so at the end of a long day our car easily transforms into a briefcase or a puppy. Whatever. Or screw the car and just commute by jetpack or Pegasus.

Or rocket-propelled recliner.
With 300-grand, the possibilities are limitless. It's like rich people don't think sometimes, you know?

Nope, it's not Assholes with Money Monthly. It's called Nomenus Quarterly. What's in it? The secret to time travel? A vagina? Nope, just pictures and a shitload of pretension.
Originally you could pick up an issue of Nomenus for a relatively thrifty $2,500. But, seeing the world is in a financial clusterfuck right now, editor Erik Madigan Heck cut the magazine's normal 50 copy circulation down to just 10 copies. That's the economics of rarity, but it's kind of cheating when you manufacture the rarity. For instance, here's a picture of Jesus painted by beloved 80s Russian comedian Yakov Smirnoff:

Now this is the only Yakov Smirnoff Jesus painting in existence. To make sure, we burned all the other copies and for extra measure we burned Yakov Smirnoff, also. We'll start the bidding at four decapitated and diamond studded Sasquatch heads.
See, it doesn't work. By the way, we just had to see the guy who has the balls to put out this magazine.

This guy? With the wrinkled Snuggie? Oh wait, we get it. He must wear a Snuggie to encompass his massive testicles. And he doesn't bother to iron it because he trying to be very nonchalant about his giant testicles. Got it. Still don't want your magazine, though.

We were about to point out that this was the world's most expensive cat wedding, but that seems pointless. Spending just 25 cents on a wedding ceremony between two cats officially makes you the scary woman whose door all the moms in the neighborhood forbid their kids to knock upon when trick r' treating.

We know how it goes; one day you're getting your cats married the next thing you know you're forcing said cats to mate with your dead husband's ashes. But we digress.
Then again, 1) if you have enough money to blow tens of thousands on a cat wedding, you can afford to be batshit loony. And 2), this wedding took place in Thailand. The land of Bangkok, where the tourism department's slogan is "Whatever Happens in Bangkok... Makes Unicorns Cry."
This 1986 wedding between felines Phet and Ploy took place in a Bangkok disco, cost over $16,000 for the ceremony itself, not to mention the $23,000 dowry, five hundred guests and $6,000 in wedding presents for the bride and groom. The bride arrived by Rolls-Royce; the groom by helicopter (remember these are cats). An iguana played maid of honor and a parrot filled in for the Best Man.

The clearly monogamy-loving cats were brought together by cosmetics magnate Vicharn Charas-archa due to a shared, rare glaucoma called the "Diamond Eye." In Thailand people believe the Diamond Eye to be lucky, because diseases that make cats go blind are lucky. Kind of like how feline AIDS is considered lucky here.

ReplyI want the Lord of the Rings treehouse!!!!
ReplyWho would't?
Everything is bullshit...Except the dog house. That looks like fun!
ReplyYou know what? I don't mind some of this stuff. At least the money being spent is going to hard workers who earned their pay. Think about it, if it wasn't for rich douchebags like these people, then half of us would be out of work...there's wouldn't be a SERVICE industry. I mean it may not be right...but I'm just saying.
ReplyI don't want to live on this planet anymore.
ReplyI don't want people who would buy any of this crap to live on this planet anymore.
Stop the world I went to get off!
Why not give to Charity?
ReplyLol listen to all the bleeding hearts out there boo hoo freaking hoo its there money they worked for it (or inherited it), they can spend it on anything they want to. The lady who wanted to remain anonymous after building the doghouse probably wanted to do so so she wouldn't have a to deal with a bunch of hippies bothering her. Is this stuff right? Probably not, but who cares its not their responsibility to help out others (if the do, more power to them). I get so sick and tired of reading the articles of lazy bleeding heart Liberals who get mad that other people aren't giving them THEIR money. If people were more responsible and didn't do things like take and abuse drugs, alcohol, have children they know they couldn't afford, and expect the "Gov'ment" to take care of them we wouldn't have all the problems we have now with things like poverty. You want to help the needy? fine do it but don't call others "Rich Dicks" just because their aren't spending their money the way you want them to. Here is some advice for all you bleeding heart dirty lazy hippies out there: Stop pounding on you're acoustic guitar singing Kum bay ya, my Lord, make you're own millions, and stop patronizing others because they don't live the you way want them to.

P.S THAT TREE HOUSE IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!
The reason they can be Rich Dicks is because they're supported by an army of Lower Middle Class Dicks Who One Day Hope To Be Rich Dicks Themselves.
And yes, it IS your responsibility to help out others, if by nothing else then not squandering resources of freakin' cat weddings, because that's the only way society can function for more than one generation, you horrible shortsighted excuse for a human being.
non-conservative? Bullshit.
tl:dr
Do you really think working two jobs will make you a millionaire? LOL! Only very VERY few will be able to make millions without being ruthless dicks and without screwing other people over! You'll learn that lesson sooner or later when you finished your study. Inheriting a fortune is about the only common way to get rich without shady business but you can hardly call that "hard work" or "I earned it".
Also, in case you didn't know, in this world you need money in order to make money. Once you got your first milion it's easy to make more. The problem is the first one, though. Without it, you have to pay all kinds of fees and make all kinds of bad deals that are cheap initially but expensive in the long run (for example you can't afford a new car, so you have to buy a cheap old one that will eat up a lot of money later on fuel and repairs, leaving you with even less money). It's a vicious circle and the rich feed on that. While you have to take a second job that is even crappier than the first one, the rich can afford to employ others doing their work, effectively doing nothing anymore besides counting money. You get paid 7$ per hour for doing hard physical labour while they get 7000 per day for watching others do their work. While you pay up to 50% of your income in taxes and insurances, the rich can afford to move to a tax haven country.
And about the actual things that are sold in this article? Do you really think everybody is entitled to do with their money whatever they please without any responsibility attached to it? Getting rich is like getting powerful: It comes with responsibility. I don't care if you are rich and buy yourself a big car and some fine clothes and so on. But if you spend almost half a million for a stupid dog house with a friggin TV in it that will never be used for it's intened purpose - then this makes you a "rich dick" by the very definition of it.
Ok, all the rest of the stuff is pretty douchey, but if I had a tree house like that I would never live in a regular house, thus cost effective.
ReplyMe neither now that you mention it.
With all that money rich people could buy CRACKED!!!!!!
ReplyI'm probably the only one that looks at this and thinks "Damn a lot of people get put to work for that crazy shit". Except the parking spot. Ride a bike you damn fool. But seriously - all that consumption probably dealt with like 2000+ people.
ReplyYou mean the magazine?
And things like the dog house may have kept alot of other people employed, true, but the thing is that the result is basically a villa wasted on a dog. Dogs simply don't need a TV - this is a waste of resources and manpower. The douche factor comes from the fact that this dog lives a dozen times better than most other humans ... by human standards, I am prett sure that a less expensive dog house that was made to meet dogs desires instead of copying a human's house would actually increase the dog's living quality more than this expensive clusterfuck.

ReplyHa! Also, how the hell do you get cats to participate in a wedding? Did they walk down the aisle or did their owners just try to hold them in place while the cats scratched their faces off?
I'm pretty sure 666-6666 is the phone number for a cab company in ny.
ReplyThere are people starving in the world...
Reply Hide All See All 3 RepliesLike the egotistical snobby brand of rich people care. "/
Just cuz people are starving doesn't mean I would have to. It's their money. Let them do what they want with it.
^I find it somewhat amoral to spend almost six grand on a magazine when there are people starving. Particularly if the money was gained via silver spoon rather than earned from a lifetime of hard work.
I wouldn't need a hole in a tree to want a Lord of te Rings dream house, just the god complex that having all that money would inevitably give me. "I don't need a soul, I'll just buy yours!"
ReplyConspicuous consumption. Starting bloody revolutions for 5000 years. Buy stock in private security firms.
ReplyBuy stock? That's if you're one of the wealthy. No, if you're smart, you want to *join* a private security firm. Or start one. Then you know where all the money is, and the terrified aristos trust you to guard it. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
It's pretty much a monopolised industry nowadays. If you want footing in it, especially on the international market, you'll need pretty good credentials to show off to clients. Joining gives very little money unless you have the experience and qualifications to be a consultant. Normally because the majority of people, as specialist as some of their training can be, leaves only the alternatives of the previous employment (police, military etc) or being security at the local mall. The private market isn't always the best alternative, sometimes just the only one.
Fuck! This made me so angry...
