If you produced this little beauty you may get as many ladies swarm you as you would do driving a Lambo… only difference would be that they would be geeks!

This little beauty was inspired by Italian craftmanship, and created by the Rich and Beautiful GmbH and embodies the Lamborghini brand. (Psssst.. it’s actually a Nokia!).

If you want the gory details you’ve got “Automobil Lamborghini” on its holder and an etched Lamborghini logo on the front. It’s got a 262,144 colour TFT display protected by scratch-resistant sapphire coated glass and an integrated 2-megapixel camera as well as a 128mb internal memory. The Nokia 8800 contains a selection of Lamborghini graphics for use as wallpapers or screensavers and a short documentary video by Lamborghini plus exclusive Ringtones that evoke the power of the Lamborghini engine!

A distinctive Andy Warhol painting of actress Dame Elizabeth Taylor has been sold for $23.7m (£11.4m) at a New York auction.

It was purchased by an anonymous bidder… but didn’ get over the $25m (£11.9m) which it was expected to do. Completed in 1963, and called Liz, the portrait is actually Liz recovering from an illness.

“I started those a long time ago when she was so sick and everybody said she was going to die,” Mr Warhol said at the time.

A key ring is not something you’d spend over £20 on… let lone £8,000! But if you really do have that much money to waste, and a flash car to go with it then why don’t you look at the ultimate key ring made from Platinum.

image

There is also a gold version available at around £3,500 or the silver version around £200!

A little extortionate if you ask me, but I am sure there are a few ‘mugs’ around that would quite happily pass over £8,000 for a keyring… just make sure you don’t lose it in the fruit bowl at a swinger party!
