As the saying goes, some people have more money than sense. And while there is no harm in treating yourself when you work hard, some people seemingly have no idea what to do with all their extra cash.

So, forget fast cars and platinum jewellery. At least those have value and function. The following items are frivolity at its finest. No value, no use, no need. Just excess and sheer luxury for the hell of it!

Here’s a look at some items that you can buy if you’re rich and looking to splash the cash.

$1,000 plastic bag

You know how you always forget to bring a bag to the supermarket? And then you feel annoyed when they charge you 10p for one at the checkout? Well, there’s no chance of you forgetting about this shopping bag!

Balenciaga, the world-famous luxury brand, has released a shopping bag with a $1,000 price tag. But, surely it's made from the finest materials in the world, you might ask. Oh no, no. This is a plastic bag. A normal, run-of-the-mill, thin, plastic shopping bag.

In fact, it's not even a particularly nice shopping bag. And truth be told, the ones at Marks and Spencer are betting looking. And have even better handles.

$14,000 tea bag

Who doesn't love a cup of tea? Well, you would probably switch to coffee if every tea bag cost you $14,000.

Luckily, most of us can still enjoy a cup of PG Tips without breaking the bank. However, for those of us who enjoy the finer things in life, why not try a brew made with a $14,000 diamond-encrusted tea bag? Just don't leave it in the cup too long!

This opulent sack of tea leaves is brought to you by Boodles Jewellers. And was made to celebrate PG Tips’ 75th birthday.

With 280 hand-picked diamonds attached, this isn't the kind of cuppa you'd make for the builder. But, if you like the taste of diamonds in the morning, then be sure to try this with a dash of madness and a spoon of insanity.

$1.3 million gold toilet roll

Perhaps popping to Aldi with a $1,000 bag-for-life and sipping diamond-infused tea isn't enough for you. If that’s the case, then why not try wiping your behind with a roll of golden toilet paper?

While lots of novelty shops and sites have long peddled gold-coloured toilet paper as a joke, it turns out someone has actually gone ahead and made it.

Valued at $1.3 million per roll, it’s just a little bit more expensive than a 12-pack of Andrex. And, while not entirely useless (after all, everyone uses toilet roll), we can't quite imagine who would spend so much for something that ends up in the toilet.

$2.7 million phone case

Although most of us will spend an extra $10 to get a protective case for a brand new mobile, some people take this concept a little too far. One such man is Alexander Amosu. Who created the ‘Call of Diamond’ iPhone case. Which sells for a cool $2.7 million dollars.

18-karat gold and hundreds of diamonds make this phone case glitter with opulence. So, you get that little extra sparkle when you’re playing at your favourite glamorous online casino, like the ones at Casino.xyz. Or, let’s be honest, when you’re making daft TikTok videos.

But, Mr Amosu doesn’t make the most budget-friendly creations in general. And this designer was previously in the Guinness Book of World Records for creating the world's most expensive suit. So, an outfit and phone case from this guy will set you back a few quid, to say the least.

Just make sure but the next time you're popping to Aldi for your diamond tea bags and gold toilet paper that you don't forget your £1,000 Balenciaga shopping bag. You wouldn't want to look silly now, would you?
