Is there anything that only the rich can currently afford but that everyone will have in the future?
When the very first cars were built, only the rich could afford it, but now a large part of the population (in developed countries) has one or more.
What do you think will be such an evolution in the future?

If the news about LK-99 has any element of truth to it, then superconductor-based technologies and maglev transport will become much more affordable in the future.
But today supra conductor aren't something just for the rich. It's used for some specific application like MRI which benefit to the people needing them rather than the rich.
Good luck finding an MRI machine in countries like burkina farso. If you live in the west, you are rich, dawg.
I live in the west and I have no MRI machine at home, so....
Edit: it was a joke guys..
Why on earth would you want an MRI machine at home? They are huge, the noise they make is untollerable, you cant have any metal objects nearby lest they turn into projectiles and you need to be an MD to use it.
Finally, a monorail!
Bona-fide, electrified?
Six car! Monorail Monorail! Monorail!
I heard those things are awfully loud.
