Material objects are nice, we all love them, but a new luxury gadget can't always compete with a once-in-a-lifetime experience—like say, a balloon expedition over Mt. Everest. This extraordinary offering from If Only gives you the chance to join a small team with veteran pilot Chris Dewhirst at the helm, ascending at least 30,000 feet to float over Everest and the Himalayas. The journey will take most of the day and will be determined by the weather (obviously if conditions are unsafe, Dewhirst isn't going to risk it), so you may be spending several weeks in Nepal if need be. A solo reservation costs $4.8 million, while a double costs $2.6 million a person ($5.2 million in total)—only two participants can reserve space at a time.
