Moon Landing
The first private spacecraft to successfully land on the Moon is the Odysseus spacecraft, built by Intuitive Machines in Houston, Texas. It landed near the lunar south pole on February 22, 2024, marking the first private Moon landing and the first U.S. lunar lander since 1972.

You don't even have to be a millionaire, because the price dropped to a "few" hundred thousands
You can launch your own cubesat ( a small, 10cm X 10cm X 10cm satellite) into space for ... ?
