Bare Bones Software:

Now available is the option to purchase a single user license of BBEdit with hand delivery by a Bare Bones Software employee and one full year of personal service (including unlimited feature additions, ripping the cellophane off the CD, reading the manual aloud, and more). This opportunity is only available for a limited time, at the special price of US$250,000.

In addition to the cash, you’re required to provide a few amenities, including “a refrigerator full of microbrewed beer (20% surcharge for mass-market or ‘lite’ beer)”. Knowing their engineers, I would also suggest stocking your shelves with quality coffee.
