Living in a New York City hotel condo that you paid $15 million for and then paying near a half million a year on top of that for "maintenance."

$10 million for Al Capone's Miami Beach getaway house...

$500 million (rumored) for the Hawaiian island of Lanai...

$95 million for the sailing yacht Athena now for sale (price does not include the roughly $10 million in annual crew and upkeep expenses)...

(OK I will admit the boat made me very very briefly wish I was Bill Gates sole heir.)
Feel free to add your own Gilded Age gazzilionaire trinkets you find.
