Panthalassa YachtWhat the hell could the average person buy for their billionaire pal on Christmas that would actually make it out of the package? What could the average cat really afford that your billionaire pal doesn’t already have? No doubt the gift you’ll receive in return will be awesome, which makes for a slightly awkward gifts exchange…Your billionaire friend hands you the keys to a CLK, and you hand him brand new fucking tie.

So how do you Christmas shop for a billionaire? Gadget gifts might not cut it, considering they probably already own their own personal robot. So, let’s imagine first, that you actually had enough money to buy something a billionaire would actually want, what are some good choices? Let’s weigh some options.

How about a fuel voucher for the Gulfstream G650 Lear Jet, or as the kids call it, the G6. Thoughtful, valuable, it’s kind of like buying your coffee addicted friend a Starbucks card.

What about memorabilia? Lee Harvey Oswalt’s casket is up for grabs, if your billionaire pal is a cryptic fuck, he might be in to that.

What about a pet? You couldn’t just buy a billionaire any ordinary pet, it would have to be something cool, something exotic.

The first thing that comes to my mind is an ostrich, they’re cool to look at, and I’ve heard ostrich eggs make mean omelettes. But if you want a homerun, fuck it, buy him a cheetah, a zebra or a baby giraffe.

If he, or she likes to sail, by him or her a new yacht. A 184-footer, sailing yacht with a lush master suite, sounds like the perfect gift to me. Of course, what would a yacht be without a yacht party, better yet, a yacht Christmas party, it’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Snap back to reality for moment, if you don’t have billionaire bank roll to buy gifts like most of us, it doesn’t mean you can’t be thoughtful, you’ll just have to be more creative, and probably a lot more personal.

Books you think they’ll like are always good calls, of course Rich Dad Poor Dad is probably not your best bet. Small things like, a framed portrait of them in their finest moments, or nights when they’re the recipient of the DAF Award, make for personal gifts that far exceed any monetary value.

And then of course, you can’t ever go wrong with a bottle of their favorite booze, a trip for two to Vegas for New Years, and a penthouse full of women.

A trip is something that anyone can plan and buy, but maybe your billionaire is too busy to take some “Me time”. Now you’re gift just became the most valuable, the most thoughtful and it’s a personal gift that you can both enjoy with gambling, drinkin and carrying on.

Oh and and it sure costs less than that baby giraffe.
