Dolphin Inspired Mini-sub 181
What do you get the millionaire in your life who has everything? How about the Seabreacher mini-sub. Described as a dolphin-inspired cross between a jet ski and a submarine, the Seabreacher has a top speed of 45mph above the waves and 20mph below them. The two-man £30,000 craft is 15' long and its design makes it self-righting. Strangely, this doesn't come with a laser package.

So the snorkel provides air for the engine... what about the two people in the seats? Ahh... engine exhaust has some oxygen in it right?

There is also the ex-military dolphin version that comes with a full on drug-addict and unreasonable computer-hacking ability. (The novella was much better than the film, nuff said).

Assuming he doesn't secretly build a PVC and duct tape weaponized exosuit and escape, kicking your ass in the process.
And in case you think it can't be done:

My family is all self-made millionaires. And yeah, every person in "The Millionaire Next Door" is a member of my family, except for one of them.
My millionaire family members are so cool, but they don't even like this stuff. They like used bicycles instead. Used bicycles are way cooler than robot dolphins.
My sister likes horses, just like Catherine the Great. Sometimes after she has been riding her horses, she comes out of the barn all sweaty and naked.
I am not a millionaire, I just sit around on the internet telling other people what my millionaire family likes to buy. I will be a millionaire someday for telling millionaires how to spend their money.
