Splurge on a private plane, matching watches or fine wine

Say someone gave you US$130,000. Or you just want to spend US$130,000 for fun. Or you want to spend US$130,000 because you know someone will pay you back. Sometimes it’s not clear. Anyway, here are some things you could buy with that amount of money.

A used Aston Martin

This 2015 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S has 8,200 miles (13,200 km) on it and comes painted in Montana Orange with black interiors lined with Alcantara suede. Capable of a 3.7-second sprint from 0-60mph and a top speed of 205mph, it was the brand’s fastest car off the production line at the time of its release. And at US$123,950, you still have some money left over for speeding tickets.

Matching Bell & Ross watches

If you are, shall we say, a hands-on person, try these extra thin, his and hers Bell & Ross BR-X2 Tourbillon Micro-Rotor watches, which are US$64,900 apiece. The 42.5mm stainless-steel case has a self-winding Suisse movement, creates 21,600 vibrations per hour, and comes with a flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock.
