Growing up watching Robin Leach’s hilarious show, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, I always envisioned myself living the royal life. Sadly, my budget runs more Holiday Inn than Four Seasons. But if you’re rolling in dough, spend a year’s worth of college tuition on an unforgettable vacation, from Dubai to Moscow.

Necker Island, British Virgin Islands

Sir Richard Branson owns half the world under his Virgin empire, including the first commercial spaceship. But none of his properties is more beautiful than Necker Island. This private atoll can house only twenty-six guests at a time. It’ll cost you $322,000 a week, but would you rather buy a house or spend the dough on the best weeklong party of your life? I thought so.

Hugh Hefner Sky Villa, Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, USA

It’s fitting that Hugh Hefner, the god of sex, would own a hotel villa dedicated to the art of seduction. His $40,000-a-night Playboy-themed suite comes with around-the-clock butler service and (of course) a rotating bed set beneath a mirrored ceiling. If that doesn’t impress your significant other, take a dip in the $700,000 Jacuzzi that cantilevers out above the Las Vegas strip.

Royal Villa, Grand Resort Lagonissi, Athens, Greece

For all the misanthropes out there, the Grand Resort Lagonissi in Athens provides its guests with their own butler, chef, pianist, private beach, and heated pool. The price? A whopping $50,000 a night. But you’ll have the most secluded vacation on Earth—just make sure you bring along a loved one, or you might go bonkers with loneliness.

Royal Suite, Burj al Arab Hotel, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Dubai is known for its incredible excess, but this $18,000-a-night suite is on another level. Not only does it have a private elevator and Versace linens, but the suite also comes with its own submarine ride to an underwater restaurant at the bottom of a shark-filled aquarium. Hmm, I think sharks floating above me during dinner might put me off my food.

Bridge Suite, Atlantis Hotel, Paradise Island, Bahamas

With a killer view overlooking the entire Atlantis resort and marina on luscious Paradise Island, the Bridge Suite (at $25,000 per night) is a favorite of Jay-Z and Beyoncé, Oprah, and, when he was alive, Michael Jackson. It also features marble baths, hand-painted linens, and your own butler.

Eden Rock Hotel, Saint-Barthélemy, Guadalupe

Built on a rocky precipice jutting out into the Caribbean, Eden Rock Hotel, with its legendary wraparound balcony, is as close to heaven as you’ll find in an earthly setting.
