Patricia Lopez finds best deals around town
HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Houston rates number six when it comes to the country's ultra-high net worth residents, according to Wealth-X. There are just over 2,500 Houstonians worth at least $30 million each.
Since it's April Fool's Day, let's pretend we are all one of those folks. If money wasn't a problem, what could you buy in Houston?
New wheels
Lamborghini of Houston is one of the top performing Lamborghini dealerships in the world, according to sales manager Zack Lawrence.
For about $450,000, you can pick up the 2015 Aventador LP700.
"This particular car is 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds, all-wheel drive, full carbon body, extremely fast and violent," Lawrence said.
And boy, is it fun!
Mansion to call home
There's a Memorial mansion on the market for $43 million, putting it at the highest priced home ever listed in Houston.
Luxury accommodations
If you just need to stay somewhere for the night, head to the Houston St. Regis Royal Suite.
With a published price of $10,000 per night, it is 2,500 square feet of space. There are two bedrooms, a living room, and full kitchen.
The client list is said to have included Lady Gaga, but staff cannot confirm.
Retail therapy
With all the necessities, now it's time to do some shopping!
Visit Neiman Marcus at the Galleria, and you can special order a pair of Chanel ballet flats for $7,150. You'll have to place an order because they recently sold out.
At Hermes, you can pick up a new purse. The famous Birkin bag has become a symbol of wealth and status for the rich and famous. Prices for one bag can range from about $10,000 to $150,000.
If you're shopping for the guys, head down the street to Lucchese in Highland Village. You can get a pair of American Alligator boots for $13,000. Pair them with a diamond belt buckle for $60,000.
A good meal
After you've shopped til you dropped and worked up an appetite, stop by Vic and Anthony's. Start dinner off with a traditional caviar service. The market price usually runs around $275.
HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY!
