Now I know what you're thinking, "But I don't remember buying an underwater plane". And that's because I'm talking about Virgin Group, Richard Branson's company, not virgin, you. You're poor, remember?

Guests on Necker Island, a retreat in the British Virgin Islands, will be able to dive underwater in a submarine dubbed the Necker Nymph for $25,000 a week. But that's only after shelling out around $300,000 for a one-week stay on Necker, the private island owned by billionaire and Virgin Group chairman Richard Branson.

I guess that would be pretty cool, but it's still a bit pricey. And by a bit pricey I mean you could pay scientists to splice porpoise and human DNA together and have sex with a mermaid for cheaper. Which I'm considering.
