When Project Utopia was unveiled by Yacht Island Design and naval architects BMT Nigel Gee, there was a certain healthy scepticism about the floating 11-storey lair. But gadget site Firebox is now offering it for sale as a Christmas gift.
Price is 'on application' but the company says you should expect to pay several hundred million 'minimum'. The site also offers other surreal and very expensive gifts, such as a flying Back To The Future DeLorean car (yours for £70,000) - an idea familiar from ultra-luxury American catalogues such as Neiman Marcus, which in the past has offered gifts like Elton John singing a private carol concert under your Christmas tree.
As with Utopia, the price usually ensures buyers are rather thin on the ground...

Just call me Hank.
I forgot to add, I’ve already got henchmen (henchgirls, actually), so I’m good to go. Now I just need some sharks with frickin’ laser beams attached to their heads.....
YES! One of the greatest internet memes of all time. I love it, and thanks for posting!
LOL!
Dr. Evil for President 2012. At least the world will be able to laugh in it’s misery.
SWEEEEEET
It is cool. If I had the money to burn on something like that, I’d do it. Why not? Many of my friends back in the USA always said I’d be a good supervillain, so why not at least have the digs?
A good choice for those to whom the lesser of two evils has paled.
No, vote for a real black man...er, man in black: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Vader-for-President-2012/230419530336509
It could be an investment property.
Pull a “Mouse that Roared”- Establish it as your own country, declare war on the US, and then immediately surrender and get billions in foreign aid.
ROFLMAO!!!
That’s brilliant!
I loved the photo, “The stupidity is strong in this one.”
Good idea.
After surrender, you would not only get back the money you paid for your Evil Overlord Lair, you’d even make a tidy profit!
Cthulhu.....my favorite perennial presidential candidate. He’s been campaigning forever. Only Lyndon LaRouche comes second.
I’d have to careful about Brain. Pinky is more well-suited to being a henchman, though I prefer my henchmen to be intelligent (but not TOO intelligent....then they start thinking they can run the show better than you).
LOL!
It is worth clicking thru, if just for this comment:
“I think I just found the perfect location for the EU. If everyone in the European Union put in just £5 each we could not only buy Utopia - we could put anyone and everyone responsible for the EU “Utopian” disaster unfolding before us on board, brick up the wet dock and remove the helipads and let them get on with it. Their own little socialist Utopia and we’d make it a condition that anyone of them ever seen on dry land ever again gets shot on sight. £5 quid each? I’ll donate £10 is Nick Clegg boards first! Come on folks, it’s a bargain!
