INSANE THINGS RICH PEOPLE HAVE BOUGHT
Added on: 9th Mar 2016
WORLD´S MOST EXPENSIVE COCKTAIL
With a price tag of almost $14,500, the Gigi’s cocktail was
created for actress Grace Jones at the opening of Gigi’s
restaurant in London. The cocktail was made from a luxurious
mix of 1990 Vintage Cristal and an extremely rare 1888
Samalens Vieille Relique Vintage Bas Armagnac brandy, topped
with Angostura Bitters and “lashings” of gold leaf.
SHARON STONE´S KISS
In August 2003, Sharon Stone´s fan Joni Rimm paid $50,000 for a
kiss with her idol. Probably the most expensive kiss in history,
the snog lasted 45 seconds and it was – according to
the onlookers – quite passionate.
MILLION DOLLAR PERFUME
Perfumes can be quite expensive but the DKNY Golden Delicious
Million Dollar Fragrance Bottle elevated the perfume un-affordability
to another level. Containing almost 3,000 precious stones arranged
to the shape of New York City skyline, this perfume costs
exactly 1 million dollars.
GOLD SHIRT
Pankaj Parakh, an Indian textile magnate, had a custom-made pure
gold shirt worth $213,000 for his 45th birthday. The shirt, made
entirely out of 18-22 carat gold, weighed 9 pounds (more than 4 kg).
LUNCH WITH WARREN BUFFET
To raise money for a charity, a lunch with Warren Buffet is
auctioned on eBay every ear and it usually fetches a significant
amount of money, but in 2010, the final bid exceeded all
expectations as an unknown bidder paid a staggering $2.6
million for a lunch with this highly respected business magnate.
DIAMOND BATHTUB FOR PUPPIES
Millionaires often want their pets to live in the same luxury as
their owners so it might not be that surprising that Lori Gardiner
came up with a diamond bathtub for puppies. Available at a
price of $39,000, the bathtub is encrusted with 45,000 Swarovski crystals.
GUINEA PIG ARMOUR
Talking about insanely expensive accessories for pets, an elaborately
fashioned guinea pig suit of armour became the hit of e-Bay
auctioning in 2013. The final bid was a stunning $24,300.
EXTINCT HUIA BIRD FEATHER
In 2010, an anonymous family from Wellington, New Zealand bought
a single extinct Huia Bird feather for $8,400 at the Webb’s
Auction House in Auckland, making the item the most expensive
feather ever.
