A $4,400 Louis Vuitton buoy has gone viral after rapper Rick Ross was filmed floating on it in a pool. In other words, an extravagant accessory that costs as much as a second-hand car or several months’ salary for many people.
The images, shared on social media, show the artist peacefully floating on the luxury accessory, a product that perfectly illustrates the opulent style with which he has built his public image throughout his career.
The buoy, named „Monogram Inner Tube,” is retailed by Louis Vuitton for $4,400. According to the manufacturer’s description, the accessory is waterproof and UV-resistant, intended for use in a pool, lake, or even in ocean waters.
The model is adorned with the famous monogram print of the French house, features orange accents, side handles, and bears the inscription "Louis Vuitton, Malletier, 101 Champs-Élysées." A compact pump for inflation is also included in the package.
