$11Million Dollar Tree

Jacked from luxuo.

See that Christmas tree? Looks pretty normal right...WRONG! The picture above is of the $11 MILLION dollar christmas tree located in the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi (Sex and the City 2). The tree itself cost only about $10K, it's the 181 diamonds, pearls, emeralds, sapphires, and other precious stones that make it worth OVER $11MILLION. 
This isn't the first overly priced scheme for the hotel either. It's also home to the world's first gold ATM, and is the first place outside of Germany that has installed a Gold-to-Go aka a vending machine that sells gold!

Driveaway.

Want to take a road trip using someone elses car? Go to autodriveaway.com. Basically people who need to get their car from one place to another but don't feel like doing it themselves or paying to have a company ship it go to "driveaways" where they can put in their request to transport the car and people who are registered through the site get matched to drive it. So you get to use someone elses car to go on a road trip. You must be at least 23 years old, have a valid drivers license, and a clean driving record. So you get a free cross country vacation.
