The 2017 Bentley Bentayga comes with a starting price of £160,200 ($248,342) and a list of options that can increase that price to more than £500,000 ($775,100.)

Why it matters

Bentley->ke15 has long been known for its luxury and customizability, but I was shocked when I found out this option. There are expensive timepieces out there, but I never thought I would see a $170,000 clock as an option in a vehicle, regardless of the brand. The Bentayga->ke5088 is already sold out for its first year of production, with Queen Elizabeth II slated for the very first one. If she accepts it, she will (of course) be allowed to choose her own specifications, so you can bet she'll be the first to mark that option box.
