While I agree your historic lords would be very pricy, there may be some budget options.

  • Do people like Michael Flatley - “lord of the dance” count? Not sure what he’s doing now but might go for less than $2k
  • What about drug lords?

If we’re going with more traditional titled options:

  • There are about 785 lords in the UK parliament per a few websites, which seems like a lot so a few of them might go cheap
  • Also you can apparently pay to “Become a Lord or Lady” by buying a presumed title for prices like £195. Not sure its very legally binding, but this seems like a cheap route

I bet they counted Jesus as one of lords and that's where they got the savings.

Yes, and you can also have bridges and stars named after you, too. All of them are scams.
