• What would be the first thing you would do if money was no object? Would you continue to live modestly, would you buy a nice house, or would you sail the Seven Seas aboard a Titanic-sized yacht made from solid gold that has an onboard laser defense system and a petting zoo? If you'd head for the yacht, the following gadgets are for you.

• iPhone 4 Diamond Rose

  

  Stuart Hughes

  Designer Stuart Hughes is known for his over-the-top luxury creations, and his iPhone 4 Diamond Rose is touted as "the world's most expensive phone" with a price tag over $8 million (only 2 were made). The bezel is handmade from rose gold with 500 individual flawless diamonds totaling over 100 carats. Add another 53 diamonds for the Apple logo and a single cut 7.4-carat pink diamond inside the platinum navigation button and you have yourself one blinding piece of bling. They even toss in an 8-carat single cut flawless diamond to replace the pink one if you would like to switch things up. At night, you can put this baby to bed in a chest made from a single block of leather-lined granite. Of course, I wouldn't be caught dead with an obsolete phone, so I guess this one will end up in my old gadget drawer underneath all my extra USB cords and batteries until I get around to selling it on Cragislist. Any takers? Stuart Hughes

• iPad 2 Gold History Edition

  

  Stuart Hughes

  At $8 million, this is possibly the world's most expensive iPad. It's encrusted with 12.5-carats of flawless diamonds, 53 individually set sparkling gems set in a solid 24-carat gold Apple logo on a 24-carat gold rear plate that weighs an insane 4.4 pounds
  
  

  That's right, Stuart Hughes is back again with what is likely to be the world's most expensive iPad 2. It's encrusted with 12.5 carats of flawless diamonds, 53 individually set sparkling gems set in a solid 24-carat gold Apple logo on a 24-carat gold rear plate that weighs an insane 4.4 pounds (heavy enough to snap off the fragile arms of trust fund beneficiaries who haven't worked a day in their lives). But that's not all — the front frame is made from 75 million-year old Ammolite with sections from a 65 million-year old T-Rex thigh bone splintered and shaved into the stone. Seriously…no kidding dinosaur bones — but we're not done yet! There's still the matter of a single cut 8.5-carat flawless diamond inlaid into a platinum navigation button surrounded by an additional 12 flawless diamonds. This can all be yours for the low, low price of $8 million. Stuart Hughes

• Segway PT i2 Ferrari Edition

  

  Ferrari

  This Segway i2 doesn't appear to be any different from the stock version, save for a red paint job, Ferrari logo, leather handlebar bag and a $10,200 price tag.

  What do you drive? Well, I drive a Ferrari. Now come rolling up to her doorstep in this Ferrari Segway with a little red bike helmet on. Technically, you weren't lying!

• Electrolux Swarovski crystal vacuum cleaner

  

  Pocket-Lint

  This Electrolux vacuum cleaner is encrusted with 3730 Swarovski crystals and is priced at $23,000.

  What does the filthy rich person get for the maid that has everything? How about an Electrolux 3730 vacuum cleaner encrusted with 3730 Swarovski crystals? It's both generous and insulting! According to the Guinness Book of World Records, it's the most valuable vacuum cleaner in the world at around $23,000. It was originally intended as a one-off piece, but Electrolux claims that another model could be procured if anyone had the desire. Pocket-Lint

• 24-carat gold Kindle

  

  Amosu Couture

  This 24-carat gold Kindle costs $1965.
  
  

  Have you ever seen that Amazon Kindle commercial with the woman lying next to the pool feeling all smug about how much cheaper her Kindle was than an iPad? Well, if she had Amosu Coutor's 24-carat gold plated version she would feel like a complete moron. A 3G version would have set her back $1965. Amosu Couture

• Harry Winston Opus Eleven watch

  

  Harry Winston

  The Harry Winston Opus Eleven watch features three cylinders that 'deconstruct' time and reassemble it on every hour using a complex set of gears.
  
  

  Let's face it, most people use their cell phone to tell the time these days. Despite that, watchmakers have been thriving by compensating with increasingly unique and experimental designs that cater to people that appreciate style and mechanical precision. There are plenty of unique watches to be had for $200 or less, but the Harry Winston Opus Eleven definitely isn't one of them at $250,000 each. There are more expensive watches for sure, but the Opus Eleven is indicative of the design boundaries that are being pushed. It features three cylinders that "deconstruct" time and reassemble it on every new hour using a complex set of gears. For the rest of the time, you can just use your diamond encrusted iPhone to find out when you need to be at the helipad for your trip to the trendy restaurant three blocks away. Harry Winston

So what do we like? I do like the toilet and Ipad2, although obsolecence would keep from ever buying it even if money were no object.

sail the Seven Seas aboard a Titanic-sized yacht made from solid gold

sail as in, splooooshh

those are some massively indulgent luxury items. i'd be totally stressed out if i tried to live up to any one of those things...

i like the look of the hoover .... cleang with bling!!!!!!!

i wanna see that swarovski crystal flat iron in a black salon for a week

i bet it will have grease all over the crystals

a Ferrari Segway!!! stupid ...that thing better be fit for the highway for that much

up ! nevermind,i just pictured someone crashing on a segway on the road

All that stuff is just flushing money down the toilet. Even if I were a kabillionaire I wouldn't buy that shit.

Can someone explain the appeal or even luxury found in Swarovski bullshit????

It's just tiny little pieces of cut glass but apparently rich folks are falling all over themselves to have it glued to whatever dumb-shit they may own...

More proof that money can't buy you brains!

Weapon of CHOICE.

These are all absurd, but that Harry Winston watch is funky (even if the band is kind of lame).

But where are the speakers? the heated floor? Heated seat? deodorizer? remote?

Too average . . . ..

Don't get the gold/diamond iPhone/iPad thing. It's still gonna be obselete in a year.

If I suddenly became rich, I would change my lifestyle, but not in an extreme, over-the-top way. I'd get a nice house, two nice cars, a nice studio and lots of nice instruments, I'd eat outside more often and also get a personal cook/gardener/maid and I would play lots of (free) concerts for family, friends, fun on a regular basis.

I never understood the love for diamonds and bling bling. I actually hate the coldness of some stones/metals and find it somehow gross. Apart from that, some thing are really unnecessary. What does a mobile phone made of gold give you that another mobile phone won't? I simply wouldn't by unnecessary stuff just for the sake of having it.

I'd consider buying the toilet, because it raises comfort and can do things other toilets can't and because it's cleaner.

So: additional comfort, simply "living" more than you could before is okay and that's basically what I would do. But I'd never go for "the stuff only rich people have" just because someone labelled them as such or just because they are extremely expensive. I find that stupid.

Never in a million years would I waste money on stupid shit like these. All the diamonds encrusted in the different gadgets dont make 'em work any better than the ones without 'em. It's so stupid.

If I came into money..it would be basic stuff..... nicer house and car....pay for my sister's college education........ship my parents off to a nice island to retire..stuff like that....I would splurge of a shitload of shoes though....my weakness.

I've seen in it when it was exposed in Amsterdam. It was beautiful. And a great piece of art. Bringing on this discussion ww.

You can't bring your diamants when your death.

I would buy a couple of houses. One house would be for my dad, the other for my cousin/sister and one for me. I'd adopt a couple of kids and get a surrogate and retire.

Good attitude . I would sure not buy any luxury shit I don't need. The things posted on this thread are just obscene and I would feel emarrassed to own them. They are just to show off anyway.

I don't understand all the purpose of all those "features" of that toilet. What's the point? By the time you start to get comfortable, your feet start to warm up, your favorite Prince song has started to play, your posterior has been deodorized and dried, your lighting has been dimmed to just the right spot and....then you're done. It's time to get up. By the time you leave your bathroom, you've already forgotten about how personalized your toilet experience has been. There's a whole world outside of your bathroom, and it's waiting for ya!

The people who really have the money to buy these things don't because they realize how unnecessary it is. It's often the folks who can't really afford it who shift their money around trying to scrounge up $6400 for a toilet that does the job of their two lazy hands.

For $75,000 I can hire two or three Central American immigrants to do nothing but stand in the bathroom and wipe my @ss for me.
