It is the age-old question: what do you get the person who already has everything? If you are buying a gift for one of the richest people on the planet, you have to think way outside the solid-gold box. Here at Elite Traveler, we have curated a list of ultra-exclusive, ultra-expensive gifts that are sure to set sparks flying, even in the mind of a billionaire.
Caviar, 18K Gold Airpods Pro Case
Leave it to Russian brand, Caviar, to create a $67,000 Airpods Pro case made of (what else) 18K gold. The company is responsible for gold- and diamond-encrusted iPhone cases, watches and other tech accessories that will set you back quite a bit. Though the brand has your standard Airpods cases, the new gold case is made of one piece of 750-content gold. Though there’s only one edition of this set (which includes gold-covered Airpods) — it’s possible that you can inquire about a special order.

Aston Martin, 007 DBS Superleggera
He may be a fictional character, but no one knows Aston Martin like James Bond. And no one knows James Bond like Daniel Craig, so who better to design a bespoke Aston Martin DBS Superleggera than himself? The star of four (soon to be five) Bond films has personally designed a limited run of the V12 supercar, which boasts 715hp and a top speed of 211mph.
With seven on offer as part of Neiman Marcus’s Fantasy Gifts collection, each owner will be ferried to England to see their brand-new car role off the assembly line. They will also be presented with a limited-edition, all-platinum Omega timepiece featuring a unique hand-engraved case back and two tickets to the world premiere of Craig’s fifth and final Bond movie, No Time to Die. To top it off, 12% of the purchase price will be donated to The Opportunity Network.
