| Gifts for the billionaire who has everythingACTON, Massachusetts (Reuters) -- Need a Christmas present for that money-bags billionaire relative or friend and don't quite know what to do? The Robb Report, magazine for the ultra-rich, has just what you need, but probably can't afford. How about a $30 million 165-foot super yacht with a gymnasium and marble-floored lobby? Too showy? Then what about a 485 horsepower V12 Ferrari 550 Barchetta Pininfarina limited edition convertible? It can be yours for $258,000. The glamorous gifts are part of the Robb Report's annual list of presents published in its December issue. It is the 17th list and features "21 exclusive gifts for the 21st century." Other gift opportunities for consumers with copious cash include a $325,285, 21-day safari package complete with a pair of 12-bore shotguns and a Range Rover, or a $7.75 million set of four Patek Philippe pocket watches, one of which will accurately copy the chime of London's Big Ben clock tower. For those wishing to keep price tags to five digits, the magazine offers a man and woman's wardrobe of cashmere and wool from Italian manufacturer Loro Piana for $55,000, or a $39,400 two-person ski vacation in the French Alps. There is also a four-day trip for two to meet and cook with four "superstar chefs" -- Daniel Boulud of Daniel restaurant, Jean-Georges Vongerichten of Jean Georges, Aureole's Charlie Palmer and the Ryland Inn's Craig Shelton -- starting at just $25,000. And for those who want to indulge a fantasy or simply steal a glance into the world of wretched excess, you can buy a copy of the magazine for just $9.99. Copyright 2000 Reuters. All rights reserved.
