Nothing says luxury like lazing the hours away in a tub that costs more than a lot of houses. Those looking for such a tub, however, have a few more options than they used to. If you’re not happy with plain porcelain, you can purchase a tub made from fine materials or hi-tech gadgets.
Water Games Technologies’ Red Diamond bathtub – $47,200
(via bornrich.org)
Designed by Aldo Puglielli, this bright red tub is big enough for two people. That’s just the beginning of the tub’s laundry list of features, however. It also includes a console framed in gold—42 grams of 18-karat gold, to be exact—and Swarovski crystals. The console controls two waterproof HDTVs that remain hidden when not in use. Among the tub’s other features are a massage function, multicolored lighting, a hand-held shower unit, automatic disinfection and even a Swarovski-coated Champagne holder. At $47,200, however, the Red Diamond bathtub is not for the faint of wallet.
Kallista Archeo Copper Bathtub – $67,557
Made of solid copper, this tub is hand-crafted by the very people who refurbished Lady Liberty’s torch. Over five feet long and two-and-a-half feet wide, the tub is spacious enough to comfortably accommodate just about anyone. The fluted faucet and hand-held shower unit are designed with the same aesthetic quality as the rest of the tub, featuring a finely engraved starfish-on-seashell knob.
Baldi malachite bathtub – $222,000
This boat-shaped tub, designed by Luca Bojola is made from turqoise malachite that is perfectly complemented by its ornate, 24k gold-plated feet.
Baldi Rock Crystal bathtub – $790,310
Also designed by Luca Bojola, the first of these three-person bathtubs was created in 2008 and shown at that year’s Salone de Mobile. TThat tub was carved from a single piece of Amazonian rock crystal measuring over 8 feet in diameter and sold for over $850,000. This second tub was created for Harrods and, as the exteriors of both tubs were left rough, is as unique as the first. Baldi even offers a rock crystal basin to complement the exquisite bathtub.

Why doesn’t anyone make a bathtub with a lit book holder that has a button and will turn pages for you, that comes with jets and makes really hot water and has a seat built in with a waterproof pillow for your head (in perfect view of the book of course)? I would buy that!
Neither of these featured tubs comes even CLOSE to the one Harrods have for sale in London. Hewn from one gigantic rock crystal, it weighs in at over ten metric tons, is ice colured, and costs a whopping £200,000. And that doesn’t even buy you the fittings, just the tub and the instalation. Now THAT’S expensive!
“Over five feet long and two-and-a-half feet wide, the tub is spacious enough to comfortably accommodate just about anyone.”
Being 6’3, I kind of disagree with that statement!
I would like to know from where I can buy the Archeo Copper Bathtub?
This is what is wrong with our country. Starving children, abused children, environmental disasters constantly, rivers being abused, land and trees and some jackass is buying tubs for 70,000$. They’re taking baths…that cost 50,000$. WE deserve whatever happens to our world. If your one of those people that spend like this ask yourself one question ‘are you really so special that you need to have these things when there are children in the world starving? Do you really work so hard that you deserve shampoo that cost 1,000 a bottle?’ if the answer is yes then you need to take a good look at your morals and principles becasue you lost them somewhere along the road.
Linda, I could not have said it better! I enjoy looking at the most expensive items, but I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that anyone would spend this much money on any kind of item. It is pathetic that just because people were born into rich families or family businesses that make millions of dollars they feel the need to spend the money like it’s a burden to them to have so much! Instead of helping the starving children and all the other things you said, they buy crap that they will forget about just so they can look like they are above the rest of us! If I had that much money, I would, and I honestly mean this, go to Africa and all the other terrible places and give children food, places to stay, and so forth. I would build centers for kids in desperate need of help… I know they would always be full, but if your going to throw your money away, why not spend it for a good cause? I always think if I had millions of extra money that I didn’t need, what would I do with it? And that’s always on the top of my list. I think about family and friends and people who I know need help. I would give them a home and a car so they can live their lives happily like I believe most people deserve. In face most poor people work a million times harder than these stupid rich people that are wasting so much money on regular, every day items. It’s so sad what our world has become. You are right, this world deserves what it gets. These people only “help” other countries and adopt foreign kids when everyone else is doing it (Example-Save Haiti).
To be honest, They all look hideous. I'd rather get one from Argos.
