Natascha Marx
Most Expensive Champagne Glass
The Imperial Champagne Glass is produced by Diamonds in Glass, a partnership between Natascha Marx and glass artist Tobias Berger.

Almost.

Rawlings
Most Expensive Baseball Glove
Ah, baseball, the great American pastime. Known for its freshly-mowed grass, players with a penchant for chewing tobacco and now -- a $400 glove? Though baseball has never been known to be a sport for the wealthy, Rawlings has begun producing the Primo glove, made of Italian leather into which a three-layer design is hand-sewn. It takes two whole days to make just one. True to superstitious form, however, most major league ballplayers have stuck to their tried and true worn-in gloves.

Most Expensive Sushi
Eating raw fish may seem like extreme eating to some people, but Koi Restaurant in Las Vegas is taking sushi to even greater extremes with its $1,000 High Roller sushi roll. The roll is made of marinated and poached fois gras covered with Langoustine (lobster), brushed with saffron/vanilla bean butter and encrusted with caviar. When the roll is served, the chef will personally come to your table to shave white Alba truffles over the roll and drizzle it with 100 year balsamic vinegar. Now that's good service.

Danish company Carlsberg is now the proud owner of the title of the world's most expensive beer. The 10.5 proof beer has been stored in French and Swedish wooden casks and has a deep brown color. The tasting notes reveal prune, caramel and vanilla flavors making it a natural pairing for cheeses and desserts. But don't expect to see the $400 Vintage No. 1 in your neighborhood bar just yet -- the beer will be sold in only three Danish restaurants.

Along the front strap is a slim strap of diamonds, but the serious bling curves around the ankle, featuring a 16 carat pear-shaped tanzanite drop surrounded by diamonds dangling down over the top of the foot.

Perrier-Jouet
Most Expensive Champagne
There are many luxurious champagnes out there, but none more so than Perrier-Jouet's 2000 Belle Epoque. Each buyer will travel to Epernay, France to meet with Perrier-Jouet's cellar master Herve Deschamps. There they can add a liqueur to the champagne to create a unique product. The limited edition box-sets will be available to only 100 buyers. If you're planning on buying this champagne, at about $78,290 per 12-bottle box, you better have something serious to celebrate.

Most Expensive Saxophone
At the first ever Millionaire Expo held in Siam Paragon, Thailand in November 2007, Diamonds in Glass presented this saxophone to be auctioned to benefit the charity foundation of Princess Pa of Thailand. The handmade, glass saxophone took 65 hours to make and is embellished with 10 two-carat diamonds and 2.82 ounces of gold plating. Estimated to be worth about $62,632 at the time of its debut, spending all your cash on this saxophone might soon have you playing the blues.

Harvey-Nichols
Most Expensive Cocktail
The tasty-looking Dazzle cocktail from Harvey-Nichols Manchester is made of rose champagne and strawberry and lychee liqueur. But the real dazzle comes from the 18-karat white-gold ring with pink tourmaline and diamond stones you'll find at the bottom of the glass. Buying this drink will take you back to the days of eagerly searching your cereal box for that toy buried inside. Especially if your cereal happened to cost $51,200 and was delivered by two security guards.

Fissler
Most Expensive Saucepan
You don't need to be the Iron Chef to appreciate this pan from Fissler. With its solid gold handles studded with 200 diamonds, the saucepan seems more ready for an art display than the kitchen. The gold alone weighs two pounds, so the pan is probably heavier than your average cooking utensil. But if you shell out about $197,630 for this beauty, you probably won't want to be cooking with it anyway.

Most Expensive Coffee
The name Kopi Luwak comes from the Indonesian words for coffee and civet. Apparently civets only eat the best coffee cherries in Indonesia, and as the beans travel through the civets' digestive systems they lose their harshness and most of the caffeine, resulting in a mellow coffee bean that sells for as much as $600 a pound. But if drinking coffee that once passed through a small mammal does not sound appealing, Starbucks may still be your best bet.

Vertu
Most Expensive Phone
If you've ever wanted to own the same phone as Madonna or David Beckham, Vertu's $88,300 Diamond Signature may just be the phone for you. The 18-carat gold phone is embellished with over 700 diamonds, and takes seven days to make by hand. If the Diamond Signature isn't luxurious enough for you, check out the showstopping, limited-edition, $350,000 Signature Cobra, created by Boucheron. You may have a hard time getting your hands on one of these though -- Vertu made only eight.

Lloyd's of London
Most Expensive Nose
In wine making and tasting, the nose knows best. That's why Ilja Gort, a producer of wine in the famous Bordeaux region at Chateau de la Garde vineyard, had his nose insured for $8 million by Lloyd's of London. The insurance policy leaves Gort with several responsibilities, including not taking up boxing lessons or riding a motorcycle and having a high-quality barber with a steady hand trim his long, curly beard.

Thats crazy. I would never buy any of that. I mean who in the world pays 3.2million dollars for a dog collar. Or who pays 1,000 dollars for sushi. That's ridiculous if you ask me.

Oh the vain and foolish. They might have all the money, but they still get up in the morning and take a stinky shit like the rest of us. And who'd pay $2 million for a f*ckin' handbag when supermarkets give out free plastic bags every time you shop.
Tamlagordy 09:08:24 AM Aug 09 2008
Who thinks up these crappy stories? What a waste of time and I am stupid for even reading this crap. People who buy this crap need to give their money to charites instead. And that diamond decorated Ipod shuffle? When the batteries no longer hold a charge you have a dead piece of overly priced crap.
