For £100,000 you could buy an Aston Martin Vantage Coupe, a terrace house in Manchester or pay the salary of five newly qualified nurses for a year.
Alternatively you could rent a London house for just a single week during the Olympic Games - a rate that works out at almost £10 a minute.
If anyone is willing to pay the extraordinary sum, the property in Brick Street, Mayfair, will make history by ushering in the era of the six-figure weekly rental.
It will become the most expensive rental deal in London's property history, beating the £75,000 a week which Sol Campbell, the former Spurs and Arsenal defender, is receiving for renting his townhouse in Chelsea during the Games.
The immaculate three-storey Brick Street house, which is usually let at £40,000 a week by estate agents Knight Frank, has seven bedrooms, two dressing rooms, seven bathrooms and three reception rooms.
Should the tenants get bored during the Games they will be able to entertain themselves with facilities including a cinema, games room, bar, gym, swimming pool, solarium and steam and sauna room.
It is understood there have already been viewings of the property and its owner is considering an offer for a two-week Olympic let. Meanwhile Savills estate agents are in the process of agreeing a deal in the region of £40,000 a week for a six bedroom penthouse overlooking Hyde Park. Its usual going rate for a long let is £25,000 a week.
The £35 million property has five reception rooms, two kitchens (one at either end of the property, presumably to save the bother of walking its considerable length each time you want a cup of tea) and six bedroom suites including a master bedroom with matching his and hers bathrooms and dressing rooms.
There is also a library, a screening room, a massage room, a fully equipped gym, a spa room, six terraces and a roof garden.
Mark Tunstall of Savills said: "The tenants for this sort of property are generally from the ex-Soviet bloc - Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine - with a smattering from the Middle East."
