When you think of toilets, what comes straight to your mind first? If we would have to guess, I think we all picture a comfortable white porcelain throne or the perfect place to come up with unique new ideas after all the brilliant ideas come while sitting on the toilet. Or perhaps you think of it as a mysterious device that transports you an hour or sometimes even more into the future in a flash? While your ideas of toilets may differ from one another, we bet that getting a luxurious and expensive toilet was the last thing on your mind.
Some people do not simply sit on a toilet, they want the most expensive ones too. The rich, tech-savvy, famous, and quirky can get pretty intense about the pause that refreshes.

7. Herbeau 5501 Dagobert Solid Ash Toilet ($14,309)
The $14, 309 toilet in King Dagobert is superbly hand-crafted sanitary ware made of the finest Teak and Mahogany. This piece is described as ‘whimsical’ and has a pull-the-chain flush. As soon as you lift the lid of the toilet it plays royal music, i.e, Le Bon Roi Dagobert– an old french song. The candle holder and ashtray next to the toilet are ideal for those smoke breaks or late-night trips to the restroom in the Victorian castle.
