My first Ferrari
Price: $24,000
These vintage Ferraris are perfect for up-and-coming collectors.
The child-size machines seen here are two of the rarest miniatures ever built. They're battery operated and have a top speed of 7 miles per hour.
One of these minis, modeled after the Testarossa, was restored with the same red paint used by Ferrari and recently sold at auction for $24,000.
DTV Shredder
Price: Up to $120,000
What do you get when you cross a skateboard with a motocross bike and a tank? Meet the DTV Shredder.
The starting price for this off-road vehicle is $5,000, but it can cost as much as $120,000 when fully tricked out. The crown prince of Dubai and his two brothers had theirs super-charged with custom aircraft engines.
Bentley GT vehicles
Price: $300,000
These custom GT vehicles are the fastest Bentley has ever built — and come with a sky-high perk.
With only seven in the world, these super-exclusive cars were inspired by Breitling's sponsored jet team. And just like the jets they're designed after, they have signature yellow accents inside and out. They also come with a free 30-minute ride in the sky.
The Ripsaw EV2 luxury supertank
Price: $300,000
This luxury ride has gullwing doors, a leather interior and GPS — and it's not even street legal.
The Ripsaw EV2 luxury tank comes complete with iPhone chargers, cup holders, air conditioning and automatic transmission. Perfect for the super-rich buyer who owns a ranch or needs to tackle sand dunes, it can go 80 mph. However, it only gets 2 miles to the gallon.
Seabreacher submersible
Price: $500,000
This is a one-of-a-kind water toy for the super rich.
The Seabreacher submersible watercraft goes close to 60 mph, and can leap and do 360-degree barrel rolls. Models are designed to look like dolphins, killer whales and sharks.
Miniature custom raceways
Price: $500,000
Indianapolis, Le Mans, Monaco. The world's most famous racecourses are now miniaturized.
Slot Mods electric racetracks can cost as much as $500,000. The custom, handcrafted raceways take six months to build and six hours to install. They include such details as pint-sized buildings, spectators and even camera crews.
Iguana Yacht
Price: $500,000
This 30-foot vessel's got legs ... and it knows how to use them.
Called the Iguana Yacht, the amphibious boat takes you from sea to shore. Rubber and Kevlar treads fold into the hull, allowing the boat to cruise at 40 knots in the sea, and then walk on land.
The boats can be decked out with 24-karat gold-plated trim, exotic wood and custom leather seats.
Vintage rail car
Price: $5 million
Forget using a private jet as a time-saving luxury — one billionaire prefers to take it slow.
John Paul DeJoria's vintage rail car was built in 1927, and he poured millions into a renovation. Named the "Patron Tequilla Express," it features $500,000 worth of 16th century stained glass, another $500,000 in wood carvings and even has a private chef's kitchen.
Taking this beauty on the track for a spin isn't cheap. A trip from New York to Los Angeles can cost around $100,000.
Astolat Castle
Price: $8.5 million
This six-story mansion is filled with rare art and luxurious furnishings. Oh, and did we mention it's a dollhouse?
It took six people and 24 four hours to assemble the Astolat Castle. There are 10,000 pieces inside, including working lamps with real cords that plug into the walls. Coming in at more than $20,000 a square foot, it may be small — but its value is huge.
