Couldn’t find the perfect million-dollar holiday gift in the legendary Neiman Marcus Christmas Book? Try Wal-Mart.
The world’s biggest retailer, best known for selling everything cheap, said on Friday that its Sam’s Club warehouse stores would offer “once-in-a-lifetime” gifts including a $2.7 million Cessna Citation Mustang jet.
Cessna calls the plane a “breakthrough combination of power, speed and true jet affordability”, capable of speeds up to 391 miles per hour and altitudes of 41,000 feet.
Other special Sam’s Club offers include four Super Bowl tickets, complete with an invite to football legend Dan Marino’s VIP reception, and a trip to London for an evening with singer Tony Bennett.
This is the third year that Sam’s Club has offered such lavish holiday gifts. In previous years, items have included a $198,000 custom-designed 1969 HP Camaro, and a trip to the National Football League’s Pro Bowl all-star game in Hawaii.
There is a catch, however. Not only do you have to be rich, you also have to be a Sam’s Club member.
