Space Joyrides for the Rich

While the rich have long enjoyed luxury cars, mansions and yachts, their newest luxury vehicle is the spaceship. Musk has the most useful rockets as his SpaceX vessels can put satellites into orbit and reach the International Space Station.

Virgin Galactic has a spaceplane, which can be likened to a passenger version of the old X-15.
