JAMES BOND TOYS

-

MUSK: Seven years ago he paid £620,000 for the Lotus Esprit submarine car (right) used in the Bond movie The Spy Who Loved Me, which could be driven on land and also go underwater. ‘I was disappoint­ed to learn that it can’t actually transform,’ he said at the time. BEZOS: He had the fortune, the plane, the property portfolio — all that was missing was a giant clock inside a hollowed out mountain. So Bezos spent £36 million on a 500ft thermal-powered clock, housed in a mountain in West Texas that will tell the time for the next 10,000 years. They do sell watches on Amazon, Jeff. GATES: In 2013, it was rumoured he was the new owner of the 314-acre Caribbean island Grand Bogue Caye off the coast of Belize that was sold to an undisclose­d buyer for £18 million. But while he did tour the island, he is not thought to have put in an offer.
