The Ultimate Fantasy Green Holiday Wish List

There are a growing number of green millionaires and billionaires out there, who have amassed their fortunes by doing good things for the earth. And, after giving a good portion of that money to charities that help preserve the environment, they’ve still got plenty of money to spend on ultimate eco-luxury items like the 7 on this ultimate green holiday wish list. But even if you’re not among the eco elite, you can dream that someday Santa will bring you a few of the following green fantasy gifts.

Tesla Roadster

Why not splurge on a James Bond-worthy, 100% electric, $100,000 Tesla Roadster, the sexiest eco-friendly car on the market? It can travel 244 miles on a single charge of its lithium-ion battery pack and goes up to 125 miles per hour. The 100th Tesla Roadster was sold just last week to the guy whose shoulder Oprah cried on during Obama’s victory speech, and if you get one for yourself, you’re joining the company of fellow owners George Clooney, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Luxury Eco Vacation to Dubai

The Presidential Suite at the Al Maha Eco Resort in Dubai will set you back a paltry $8,400 a night, appointed with all the luxuries an oil baron might enjoy – only they’re eco-friendly. Guests that stay here will enjoy three large bedrooms, a lounge, a private courtyard and swimming pool, fully appointed kitchen, two mini bars and your very own private staff including housekeeper, security and chef. A trained naturalist acts as your own private guide, taking you on tours of the Al Maha reserve. Al Maha preserves the desert habitat of Dubai and its native species, and has helped protect the formerly endangered Arabian oryx.

Biodegradeable Diamond-Studded LCD TV

The world’s most expensive television is available to you for just $130,000, and the good news is, its glass, aluminum and iron components are all either biodegradable or reusable. The bad news is, it doesn’t seem to use any less power than a normal television. But, hey, it’s studded with brilliant white V VS1 diamonds and white gold, such an important feature to have on a television. When you’re done with this luxury TV by Shaub Lorenz, you can strip it down and have them made into a necklace or something. It’s entirely handmade and has a 40-inch LCD display.

EcoMobile

If you’ve already got a Tesla Roadster and need something a little more streamlined to get around in, you might want to check out the EcoMobile by Swiss automaker Peraves.  This enclosed motorcycle, which can reach a top speed of 202 miles per hour in turbocharged mode, is ultra exclusive: Peraves only manufactures 100 per year. The $77,000 EcoMobile has stabilizing ‘training wheels’ that retract once the vehicle gets moving. It features a gull wing door with integrated sunroof and inside you’ll find everything you would expect from a luxury car, including air conditioning.

Lab-Grown Diamond Stud Earrings

Get the sparkle of diamonds without the guilt by purchasing eco-friendly, conflict-free lab-grown diamonds. These man-made diamonds are actually pretty rare, as only a handful of gem-quality diamonds are grown each month. No giant pits in the earth, no slave labor. This set of Ritani ‘Endless Love’ lab-grown diamond stud earrings feature .67 carat fancy blue diamonds surrounded by .15 carat white micro-pave diamonds set in platinum for $5,160.

Solar-Electric Hybrid Robot Lawnmower

The Husqvarna Automower runs on solar power and electricity to automatically roam your land and cut your grass for you while you lounge around sipping organic cocktails. Depending on light conditions it can handle 1,100 square meters without you lifting a finger. It’s ultra-quiet, can manage rough terrain and it even returns to its charging station on its own. It’ll set you back around $4,000.

Nature Preserve

For the green millionaire who has everything, perhaps a parcel of land that you can turn into a nature preserve is just the thing you need this year. Follow in Leo DiCaprio’s footsteps by purchasing a private island with the intent of turning it into an ecotourism destination – Blackadore Cay in Belize only cost $1.75 million. Or, you could buy a few hundred thousand acres of rainforest and either manage it yourself or gift it to the country’s government for use as a national park.
