Whoever said the best things in life are free never watched a 4K OLED TV, rode on a hoverboard, or flew in a jet pack. All those things are pretty great, and they cost a ton of money—sometimes because only a mountain of cash can buy the sole existing prototype. But for the purposes of this gift guide, let's pretend we're all loaded. These gifts are a great fit if you want to stay ahead of the curve and have a bottomless bank account.
