If you've ever dreamt of brushing your teeth with a gold toothbrush, a titanium toothbrush is probably the next best thing.
Retailing for $US4200 ($4800), the Reinast Luxury Toothbrush is the most expensive toothbrush on earth.
And it's not even electric.
So what makes it so special? The company claims that its design,
durability, and specially trademarked anti-bacterial coating make it
worth the hefty price tag.This is not the type of toothbrush you
would throw away, either. Instead, the bristle head detaches from the
metal base so you can ditch it and replace it.
The brush comes
with a free three-year service plan of new bristle heads every six
months (a service that is "naturally at no charge," according to the website). After that, Forbes reports that the plans get a bit more expensive: $US400 for five years, $US800 for seven years, or $US1600 for 11 years.
All for a toothbrush.
"The
type of client we have in mind and are currently selling to are those
with an incredibly high net-worth," Reinast chief technology officer Dr
Djorde Djokovic explained to Gizmodo.
"It's for people who can spend this amount of money on a product they
deem beautiful. And one that doesn't exist on the market elsewhere."
And,
it turns out, some billionaires are surprisingly willing to shell out
$4800 on a toothbrush. Djokovic told Gizmodo that at least one Middle
Eastern sultan gives them out as gifts.
For those billionaires who
don't enjoy the taste of metal in their mouths in the morning, Reinast
also offers "bumpers" to cover the brush end of the tool for that
familiar plasticky feel — because you should always have the option of
feeling like you're brushing with a $5 toothbrush with a tootbrush that
actually cost $4800.
