Royalty


With the wedding of Prince William approaching one often wonders what it would be like to be royalty. Though it will proabably not happen as that means you would have to be born to it or lucky enough to not only meet a royal, but convince them and everyone around them that you are worthy of the title. Hell it took Kate Middleton 8 years to do that and from what I have read about her she is practically a saint. So for everyone else out there how can you find out what it means to be royal?

You could rent out the entire country of Liechtenstein, provided that you have the money. It would cost $70,000 for one night, but you can accomodate 150 of your closest family and friends.  http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/apr/15/liechtenstein-hire-rental-scheme

Vaduz Castle home to the Prince of Liechtenstein
When you think about it logically, if that is even possible, $70,000 for 150 people to stay in a castle the price would come to $466.66 a person. Plus they give you your own currency and they customize the street signs. Besides that you can go on excusions and choose other ways to customize the experience, for a fee of course. In New York high society people often pay that amount for a wedding, so why not just do one better and shuttle your friends on your private jet to Liechtenstein and have your wedding there. You would pay about the same and get the chance to be "royalty for a day."

For those of you out there thinking of other ways that you would spend $70,000 I have a few examples that you might enjoy. You can buy a permit to climb Mount Everest, a 4-carat round-cut diamond in a platinum setting, or about 17,543 gallons of milk.

I know I don't have the bankroll to do any of those things now and probably never will but its nice to imagine sometimes isn't it?
