An actual skydiving mission, like this one, is far cheaper. But it doesn't involve a celebrity chef, so where's the fun in that?
Not for the faint of heart (or stomach), Gilt City is offering the opportunity to go on a tandem skydive with chef and Travel Channel host Anthony Bourdain, followed by a dinner of burgers and beers. The $10,000 excursion is currently sold out, but you can add yourself to the waiting list.
