There are things money can't buy. For all the others ... well, this famous slogan is not the reality of some millionaires. For those who really have money to spare, you can buy everything - everything!

From human organs to privilege in disasters, discover 6 things that some millionaires do that would be morally condemned in any court around the world:

1. Pay someone to get stuck in your place

Sounds like a bad joke, but it's not: A Chinese has hired a guy like him to serve his sentence in jail! The case happened in 2009, when Hu Bin was involved in a rift and killed a man run over. For the crime, he was sentenced to 3 years in prison.

Hu Bin did not want to go to prison and hired a stunt man to serve his sentence

Since he did not want to be confined, Hu Bin would have offered money for a double to stay behind bars for a while instead. And he is not alone in this! In China, there are several similar cases of rich people who have adopted the same practice to escape the xylindro.

A man who worked with demolition ended up destroying a house he should not have. Not to be arrested, he paid $ 30 a day for a beggar to take his place. There is also the case of businesswoman Gu Kailai, who was convicted of murder and “turned up” much chubbier in court - the problem was that it wasn't her.

Gu Kailai also did not want to face the bars and tried to send a plumper woman in his place

2. Hire a “private” chain

In the US, however, some private chains offer a "deluxe" service to prisoners. No huddle with a lot of people, like here in Brazil: there, paying from $ 80 to $ 150 dollars a day, you can “rent” your own, individual and very comfortable cell. It's practically the price of a hotel, don't you think?

There was a man who shelled out $ 72, 000 for television, always clean bedding, a fridge, board games, and even a phone in his cell! He spent the 2 years of his conviction on this entire stewardship.

For the luxury hotel price, you can have plenty of comfort in some US chains.

3. Pay for the entrance exam

In the US, the Scholastic Aptitude Test (or simply SAT) serves as a form of admission to universities - it's like our college entrance exam. And of course not everyone prepares for the exams as they should.

After all: why prepare for this if you can hire someone to impersonate you during the test? Despite strict US standards, a scandal broke out in 2011 when five students passed by 15 other people when taking the exams! Each would have raised $ 3, 600 if the scheme had not been discovered.

Who never wanted to send someone smarter to take a test instead?

4. Have Disaster Privileges

You have probably watched some disaster scene on television. People are rescued from their homes as the National Guard manages to attend them, regardless of origin, creed, color, religion or gender. But what if you could afford privileged treatment during some calamity?

Some people do it! Companies like Chubb, Chartis, and Fireman's Fund offer five-star service in case your city or neighborhood is hit by, say, an earthquake. They have private jet, hotel reservations, limousine and even red carpet so you don't join the people who are fighting for their lives.

“But what about my house? What about all my expensive things? ”Calm, poor rich boy: millionaires pay insurance companies to send private security to your residence while you are in the hotel waiting for chaos to pass. And if you have works of art, for example, the staff pulls out of your home, leaves it in the convenience of a museum, and then you can retrieve it without prejudice!

You don't have to wait for the ransom just like the other deadly ones.

5. Hire a cab disguised as an ambulance

Those who live in large cities suffer daily from traffic jams. It's hours and hours lost in a car to reach your destination. But this is not true of wealthy Russians, who are hiring a surreal service: a taxi that goes by ambulance and gets free passage even in the most chaotic traffic.

In Russia, you can "stick" the traffic jam by hiring an ambulance taxi

6. Buy human organs

You can be rich and outsmart others for a lifetime, but one thing is fact: you will die too. However, for some millionaires, this risk is not as daunting as they can afford excellent health care in palatial hospitals.

So far so good. The problem is when money begins to buy what should not be sold: organs! To puncture the transplantation queue, some rich people buy body parts from poor people to "fix" their own defect. This story is reminiscent of organ trafficking in Nepal, which we have already reported here at Mega Curioso. While “donors” receive miseries for a kidney, for example, millionaires shell out fortunes to obtain it. It's easy?

Buy organs and pierce the transplant line

And to you, dear reader, what is the morally dubious practice practiced by some moneyed person you most condemn?
