Yachts are the ultimate status symbol for the tech elite. No, a company called DeepFlight is taking luxury on the high seas to new depths, selling private submarines to the wealthy.

Rolex may be the go-to watchmaker for the status-quo millionaire, but a Tag Heuer Connected is one of a kind. It's the first luxury smartwatch to emerge from the company's partnership with Google, and it has the tech to prove it.
The watch looks like some of Tag Heuer's most iconic models, and yet, it packs an impressive Intel processor. The Connected comes equipped with weather monitoring, fitness tracking, messaging, and four stylish faces.

Most drones are designed for one primary use case, like aerial photography for the film industry or surveillance. George Matus, the 18-year-old CEO of Teal, wanted to build a drone for novices and professionals alike.
The Teal aircraft can be operated autonomously and by remote-control. A user could throw it up in the air and instruct it to follow their daughter on the soccer field, or take it onto a track to race their friends. The drone comes equipped with 4K cameras and image recognition technology, so it remembers faces and records the moments you want to capture.

A phone case is not so much as a gadget as a life-saver. Still, it's a must-have for every millionaire on the go.
Might we suggest something Italian? Fendi makes a heart-stopping line of cutesy monster-faced cases (ranging between $400 and $750), while Dolce & Gabbana sells a crystal-encrusted crossbody iPhone bag ($1,995).
The Orpheus headphones look like something that's come from a mad scientist's lab. The aluminum shell-device is tethered to a block of solid Carrera marble, which helps absorb and eliminate outside noise.
"The sound is so precise, you could cut a steak with it," said Tech Insider reporter Antonio Villas-Boas after demoing the headphones at the Consumer Electronics Show in January.
Each pair is handcrafted in Germany.

Who needs a flying car when you've got a giant, autonomous drone?
Earlier this year, Chinese drone company EHang introduced the EHang 184, a nearly five-foot-tall, 440-pound pod capable of transporting a single passenger for 23 minutes.
Owners can cruise to work at an average speed of 62 miles per hour. They need only enter their destination into a smartphone app, and a nearby command center monitors its flight.

Infinity is massage chair royalty. In fact, when I tested as many massage chairs as possible during the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year, a sales manager at a rival company's booth recommended I check Infinity's IT-880 out.
Infinity chairs feature one of the longest roller tracks on the market, so they cup the head and give a mind-blowing crown massage. The chairs also invert, lifting the legs above the upper body and improving circulation and blood flow.

The Tango T600 luxury electric car is a single-seat commuter vehicle that aims to increase freeway capacity by letting owners slip through lanes. While this ridiculous vehicle wouldn't look out of place sitting under the Christmas tree, it's surprisingly fast — reaching 60 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds.
It was featured as a sight gag in the pilot episode of HBO's "Silicon Valley."
