This is a question Conspicuous Consumption

Have you ever been photographed sat on a balcony eating a croissant; or wallowed in luxury just for the sake of it? What's the most ostentatious thing you ever seen or done?

Skydiving
I did a skydiving course back in 2003, probably the best decision I have ever made. Since then, I have made 394 jumps out of various aircraft, a helicopter, and a balloon. It is an incredibly indulgent sport which can eat through the contents of your wallet faster than John Prescott can eat a pie.

Very rough estimate of expenditure so far:

Static line course £1500
Parachute £3200
Reserve repacks £250
Jumpsuits £350
Additional gear £300
8 years BPA membership £950
Insurance £400
Jump tickets £7400
Transport/food/booze/other £god only knows

Pissing around in the sky with all your best mates: priceless

I've done 1500 jumps in a similar timeframe. You could probably add a zero to your expenditure to get mine.

Again, totally worth every cent :-)
