10. Treasure chest<\/strong>
\nEven for a billionare will be complicated to get such a present. But a man got this opportunity. A treasure hunter made a gift to his wife three treasure chests filled with jewelry that he found in a submerged wreck.<\/p>\n

9. One mile long coat<\/strong>
\nIn the past, the most lavish gifts were given to kings. King of France, Louis XIV gave his wife an unusual coat. Its entire length was almost a mile. So the Queen could walk freely in the morning in the garden, without wearing any shoes.<\/p>\n

8. A cactus plantation<\/strong>
\nEveryone knows the famous couple of robbers Bonnie and Clyde. There were rumors that the eccentric robber gave his sweetheart a whole cactus plantation suitable for making tequila.<\/p>\n

7. The most beautiful pearl of the world<\/strong>
\nAs back in history we go, as more luxurious gifts are. Marco Antonio bought the most expensive and beautiful pearl in the world, determined to impress the legendary Cleopatra. He put a pearl in a glass of wine and asked the ruler to throw the gift to the sea, if she does not like it.<\/p>\n

6. Diamond<\/strong>
\nIt’s no secret that women love diamonds. The most amazing 70 carat diamond Richard Burton gave her lover – Elizabeth Taylor that was bought on an auction 1968.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5. A bouquets of roses – 7305 pieces<\/strong>
\nEven the most banal gift can be presented in such a way that by the end of his life will not be forgotten. Famous athlete Joe DiMaggio during 20 years, everyday gave flowers to woman he loved – Marilyn Monroe. He continued to send her flowers and after their relationship ended. When Marilyn died, he sent flowers to her grave.<\/p>\n

4. An island<\/strong>
\nBillionaire Aristotle Onassis presented to the widow of President of the United States Jacqueline Kennedy an island in Greece. Sometime later, he married her, the ceremony took place on the same island.<\/p>\n

3. A skyscraper<\/strong>
\nAre the luxury gifts a prerogative for rich people from the past? Not really. The famous American businessman Donald Trump as a wedding gift to his wife presented a skyscraper in New York. He designed it himself. Value of the building is estimated at 318 million dollars.<\/p>\n

2. Hanging Gardens of Babylon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imagine a gift that is considered one of the wonders of the world. By order of the governor of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar II, was built the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, as a gift to his wife Amitis.<\/p>\n

1. Taj Mahal<\/strong>
\nThe most amazing, beautiful, rich and unique gift is the Taj Mahal Palace. This is the most beautiful building in the world and it was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The tomb is the central focus of the entire complex of the Taj Mahal. This large, white marble structure stands on a square plinth and consists of a symmetrical building with an iwan (an arch-shaped doorway) topped by a large dome and finial. Like most Mughal tombs, the basic elements are Persian in origin.<\/p>\n
