It depends on the item but I think in many areas modern economies of scale and competition are such that it can be hard to make custom expensive goods that actually are superior in any significant way.
An extreme example is something like an iPhone. If a rich guy has $1M to spend on an iPhone he's not going to be able to get anything significantly better than the mass market stuff on sale for much less. He could encrust it with gems or something. He won't be getting one that runs 2x faster.
