5. Participation in the search for treasures of sunken ships
Wealthy adventurers can search for sunken ships on their own. However, it is much more affordable to buy a stake in a company like Odyssey Marine. Over the past 2 years, the American company has grown in price by 2 times, and the holders of its shares have made good money. Odyssey Marine is engaged in the search for wrecks and the disposal of cargo found in holds. One of the latest finds is 17 tons of silver in the cargo compartment of a British bulk carrier sunk in 1941.
4. Investing in collection wines
Fans of a hop-drink can combine business with pleasure by equipping a wine cellar in the basement of their own home. True, for the purpose of earning, it makes sense to collect only expensive collection wines, which over the years become more expensive. Buying a successful bottle in 3-4 years will pay off about 5 times. By putting a wine investment on stream, you can have a minimum of 30% of annual income. That's just to keep the wine will have to take care of maintaining a constant temperature and humidity in the cellar.
3. Investing in bonsai
One of the most unusual ways of investing is to invest in decorative dwarf trees. The price of a young bonsai ranges from $ 500 to $ 2,500. But a century-old sample is already sold at a price of 50 thousand or more. You need to buy a plant in a specialized store where you can get a guarantee that the bonsai will not wither after a couple of months, despite all the efforts of the owner. Naturally, such an investment is long-term, because in order to get a good income, you have to wait until the tree grows up and it turns ten years old.
2. Investment in the rental of dairy cows
Having at your disposal a farm and a cowshed, it is not at all necessary to buy cows. You can rent them, and at the end of the year safely return them to the owner. For 12 months, rental of dairy cows brings at least 5-10% of the profit. By the way, livestock renting is not so exotic; in Russia this type of investment is quite common in agricultural regions.
1. Investing in celebrity clothing
Very unusual type of investment can bring a good income. Things that belonged to the late stars of cinema, show business and politics are especially valued. For example, the famous white dress Marilyn Monroe was sold in 2011 for $ 4.6 million, the jacket of Michael Jackson from the clip “Thriller” - for $ 1.8 million. Clothing of living celebrities is less valued, but it can also bring income. So, in October 2012, swimming trunks were sold for $ 71 thousand, in which Daniel Craig played James Bond in the movie “Casino Royale”.
