AFAIK you can buy this one...

Call me when they exist.

Ring, ring.

Wrong link. Meant to use this one

Ugly and non creative. For what he spent on that he could have had a luxury submarine

This is my documentation that if someone from google wants to buy the best in personal/corporate submarines, it's over here -> http://www.ussubmarines.com/submarines/phoenix_1000.php3 Check it out, you will be impressed if you haven't seen it before. How much for the finders fee? I might be able to right my own ship if everything works out ;-)

You'd be better off with one of these...

the only thing I can see about this toy for the rich,

Actually, this is a toy for the poor. The rich shop here

Here's my favorite:

"The Phoenix 1000: The ultimate personal transportation device, 65 meters (213 ft.) in length with 470 square meters (5000 sq. ft.) of interior space on 4 levels." This thing is pretty close to the Nautilus... enough range to make transantlic crossings (at least when traveling on the surface in "yacht-mode" at 16 knots (maximum=18 knots). Huge windows, travels underwater, on battery power, for 6 hours at 10 knots, 50 hours at 5 knots, 140 hours at 2.5 knots, etc..

Diver lock-out "chamber allows a diver to enter or exit the submarine from the area between the shafts at depths of up to 45 meter."

They haven't built one but estimate the price to be a mere $78 (million).

Check it out here.

I happen to know the owner of US Subs. One of the neater projects he's involved in is the development of an underwater resort hotel. There will be multiple transparent acrylic suites that are designed in a way to provide privacy from each other biut allow unobstructed viewing of the coral reefs wherever it is placed. It's a very neat project, not requiring a tremendous amount of investment money, and he has some knowledgeable advisors involved. You can find a small amount of public info at Underwater Hotel.

"The ultimate personal transportation device, 65 meters (213 ft.) in length with 470 square meters (5000 sq. ft.) of interior space on 4 levels. As proposed, the submarine would constitute the single largest private undersea vehicle ever built."
