From tricked-out fanny packs to barber shops, here are the greatest examples of what people with a few million bucks laying around can do.

The JammyPack

The JammyPack

Started (in part) by: Atlanta Falcons running back Jason Snelling

The backstory: "A group of friends and I were in California on the beach and a guy comes up wearing a Speedo and a lime-green fanny pack, and one of the girls we were with said, 'The only way to make a fanny pack cool would be to add speakers and call it a jammy pack,'" Snelling told BuzzFeed. Weeks later, the JammyPack was born. That was over four years ago, and the product, which is available online only is bringing in the Benjamins, Snelling insists. "It's a fun idea that we started from scratch," he said proudly.

The Bourre App

The Bourre App

Started (at least in part) by: Baltimore Ravens safety Bernard Pollard

The backstory: After Pollard saw the card game's popularity rising among his NFL teammates (it also made a brief appearance in the spotlight for its role in the infamous Wizards locker room gun incident), he decided to create an app to make it easier for people to play anywhere and without shelling out any money. “I just want the app to make people be able to have fun with the game, where you don’t have to hand out any money and then your wife looks at you crazy, like, ‘You just wrote a check for how much?’” he told Mashable in September.
