Earlier this week we featured the top eight [tree houses](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/top-tree-houses-resorts-commercial-architecture) we've seen for the adult set, intended to be used as homes or for commercial purposes. Today, we bring you the [Treetent](http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/sitelets/christmasbook/fantasy.jhtml?cid=OCBF8_NMO2792), the best-of-the-best arboreal amusement for kids.

The tear-drop shaped [architectural tent](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switra-swisstrail) is a 13 foot tall pod designed by Dutch sculptor Dré Wapenaar.

"Nestled among the branches, up off the ground, there's a nine-foot-diameter hardwood floor and groovy round mattress inside," [Neiman Marcus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parfums-de-marly) explains. "It sleeps two adults comfortably and also makes the world's coolest tree fort/spaceship (with adjustable planetary landing steps)."

The limited edition mobile tree pod is sold at [Neiman Marcus](http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/sitelets/christmasbook/fantasy.jhtml?cid=OCBF8_NMO2792) for a wallet-breaking $50,000!

Who on earth would buy such a thing? Well, Victoria Beckham for one! It was reported today by [Now](http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk/celeb_news/Victoria_Beckham_buys_worlds_most_expensive_tree_house_for_Christmas_article_164227.html)that she recently purchased a Treetent for her three sons, Brooklyn, 8, Romeo, 5 and Cruz, 2.

The Beckham's are all about creating a luxury Christmas for their kids though. David Beckham is said to have [paid a Santa £25,000](http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk/celeb_news/david_beckham_to_pay_santa_claus_25000_for_personal_appearance_article_163530.html) to pay them a visit this December.
