5,853,188,000.00 Russian Rubles

With this many Rubles in your account you can easily keep up with the Russian President Vladimir Putin. Mr. Putin has a wristwatch collection worth more than $700,000. Buy a Patek Philippe Ref 5016P, worth $762,000. This watch has features like moon-phase display and a perpetual calendar which shouldn’t need adjusting until the year 2100.

606,446,000.00 Polish Zloty

With that many Zloty in your bank account somehow a year supply of beer doesn’t seem to cut it. Why not dream BIG with something a little more adventurous. We are thinking perhaps some Antarctic Nail Ale. This special brew is made with actual Antarctic ice, the first bottle going at an auction for $800.00!

₩ 201,409,690,000.00 South Korean Won

Why not celebrate your giant lottery win at the Park Hyatt hotel’s ‘Cornerstone’ restaurant in Seoul? It has an outstanding reputation being widely regarded as one of the best restaurants in Asia. A meal for eight people would set you back a mere ₩ 5,000,000.00!

Kč 3,694,862,000.00 Czech Koruna

Every year around one million Czech’s head off to the coast of Croatia for their summer holiday! Croatia, with the beautiful Adriatic Sea and the many islands of adventure off its coast, is the most popular holiday destination for the Czech Republic.

Place a sizeable bet at the Hong Kong Jockey Club with an almost unlimited bank balance. Of course we are not suggesting you gamble your win away but a little bit of fun at the track could be a good way to kick start your permanent vacation.

659,191,000.00 Romanian New Leu

Why not rub some Leu’s together and purchase one of Romania’s most famous landmark, Dracula’s castle? Technically the castle is not for sale (it is now a museum) but perhaps if a substantial enough offer is put forward they might reconsider.

Draculas Castle
