Possessing a huge fortune, many billionaires in the world are willing to spend huge amounts of money on items like no other.

In 2012, Indian billionaire Datta Phuge stunned many people when he ordered a gold shirt for himself. This shirt is made of 22 carat gold, worth 240,000 USD (more than 5.5 billion VND). Time to complete this shirt is 3 years. 16 artisans were recruited just to assemble the pieces of the shirt within 15 days. Guinness World Records has also recognized this as the most expensive shirt in the world. Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah is famous for being rich with the country’s abundant oil resources. He used to be willing to spend about 535 million VND for a haircut. Accordingly, a barber from London (England) was invited to cut the hair of this monarch. Worth mentioning, that worker still lives in the UK, was transported to Brunei by private jet just to cut his hair and the Sultan of Brunei also paid for the move. Billionaire Bill Gates is famous for his thrifty habits, rarely spending extravagantly. However, he spent 30.8 million USD (more than 709 billion VND) to buy an old book. It is a book by the famous painter Leonardo da Vinci called Codex Leicester. Saudi billionaire Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan bought an island in the city of Abu Dhabi, Arabia with the desire to engrave his name on the island. The special thing is that the name is engraved so large that it is said to be visible from the Moon. It was created by digging deep into the earth and letting seawater flow in.
