And don’t worry, there are also more than a few ways to spend your money. A number of restaurants offer cuisine from across the globe including Iranian, Mediterranean, Arabic and Asian cuisine, and are complemented by a number of lounges and cafés. And the discerning shopper, or even the not so discerning shopper (it doesn’t really matter when you’re a billionaire, does it?) will find a huge selection of the world's most exclusive brands in jewellery and fashion.
At the end of a hard day of utter luxury, you can retire to your very own palace quarters where everything is controlled by a small touch-screen panel, from the air conditioning to the curtains. You can access over 40 latest-release movies, as well as a huge bank of classic films, 120 television channels, thousands of music albums and the internet - all for free. Even the butler is wired in and will appear at the push of a button at any time of the day or night to be at your beck and call.
Ahhh it’s a hard life.
Some options for another weekend
BURJ AL ARAB, DUBAI
Essentially an oversized Teflon-coated sail, the Burj Al Arab is the tallest hotel building in the world. And it’s glitz from head to toe. Even the wall-mounted televisions have gold frames. The Burj also has its own underwater restaurant complete with shark-infested aquarium.

HUVAFEN FUSHI, MALDIVES
Huvafen has the world’s first underwater spa, which has been sunk ten metres under the sea at a cost of $1 million. Some rooms even have outdoor infinity pools with swim-throughs into the lounge areas. And why not?

ISLA DE SA FERRADURA, IBIZA
Set on a private islet, this hacienda is a much more refined option than the raucous main island. A notable feature of this Island getaway is the salt water Laguna pool connected to a big fantasy cave, which houses a spa, sauna, water massage, steam bath, aroma bath, heat algae packing, mud treatment, infra red cabin, solarium, vitamin bar, and a relax corner.

THE POINT, USA
Hidden away in the Adirondack Mountains is the former summer camp of William Avery Rockefeller – now an excluxive getaway retreat – we can’t tell you exactly where as the precise location is only revealed once you have paid, which you must do in full, in advance.
