It was bound to happen, a phone so dripping with diamonds and sparkles that only a billionaire would even contemplate buying it. Unveiled just recently in Monaco (where else), the mobile has made it into the record books as the most expensive hone ever.
The phone itself is basic in terms of its technology so don’t expect to be able to speak to other planets with it!
I have a bet at ten to one that it ends up in posh spice’s hand bag by the end of the year!
The best things come in small packages… well that is what my wife tells me!
Can you imagine wearing nail polish containing platinum dust? You’d have to have buckets of cash and want people to know it!
Well, you fat cats can now get your hands on this exclusive range of nail polish and perfume which sits under a brand called ‘I Do’, which is a collaboration between Allure magazine, platinum supplier Johnson Matthey, PGI and Essie Cosmetics. This range is y far the most expensive in the world and demand is surprisingly high I’m told.
You can pick up a bottle of the polish at the bargain price of $250, or if you want the special edition bottle with the platinum lid and base (of which there is only one), then be prepared to cough up $55,000.
The world’s most expensive perfume is a creation by famous British perfumer Arthur Burnham who has created a bottle with platinum, 24 carat gold, rubies and diamonds all over it! It is called ‘Parfum VI’ and believe it or not, Rolls-Royce designed and built the box. You can’t expect much change from £50,000.
Rumour has it that only 173 are being made and Michael Jackson has ordered two and Mike Tyson three – I thought they were skint!!!

The rich and famous tend to focus on a select few of exclusive jewellers for their bling. There’s the ubiquitous De Beers, Cartier and how about H Stern.
The sheer opulence of H Stern’s pieces has brought tabloid descriptions of “knuckle duster sized rocks on fingers” and oodles of “sparkle everywhere else”.
These comments are hardly surprising with H stern producing stunning pieces like this gorgeous cobblestone bracelet, available for a cool $25,095 (£13,565).
H Stern’s popularity has spread at a rate of knots amongst the elite, with jewelry frequently worn by heads-of-state, as well as celebrities like Lucy Liu, Eva Langoria, Teri Hatcher, Beyonce Knowles, Finola Hughes and Sandra Oh, to name just a few. Other custom designed pieces are frequently seen in films (including Austin Powers, Legally Blonde, Intolerable Cruelty).
