Most expensive cocktail: 15,250 pounds a pop
The world’s most expensive cocktail contains a diamond ring instead of an olive! The drink, created by Harvey Nichols in Manchester, has to be escorted to diner’s tables flanked by security guards. The dazzle cocktail contains a six and a half carrot pink tourmaline and diamond ring set in 18-carrot white gold. The drink was the brainchild of senior bartender Jay Malik, 24, who was asked to devise a drink to fit with the restaurant’s Pink Dinners month. A special safe has been brought in for the bar to keep the rings in and customers can choose any ring they want from the range – the most expensive being a 27,000 pounds sterling two-carrot engagement ring.
Most expensive shoes: 1 million pounds
Would you feel like a princess or what when you wear something worth 1m pounds? The most expensive shoes in the world were on sale at Harrods in London. After a photo-call for the press, the shoes were locked away in a bullet-proof case where they will be guarded round-the-clock. The shoes, inspired by the ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz, were woven from platinum thread and set with 642 rubies. They were designed by Stuart Weitzman.
Most expensive hair cut: 1,925 pounds
If you want London stylist Lee Stafford to cut your hair, make sure you are extra loaded. He calls it a “couture cut”. And the only place where you can get one is his house. Champagne, hors d’oeuvres and a follow-up trim as part of the package.
Most expensive house: 70 million pounds
This one is hardly a secret: The infamously lavish new estate in England known as Updown Court in Windlesham, north Surrey. 103 rooms, 58 acres, a private helipad, five swimming pools. Forbes.com put the mansion at the top of its list of “the priciest residences on the planet” which are for sale.

Most expensive jeans: Over $ 4,000
They wanted to be “the Mercedes-Benz, the Maybach of the denim industry”. And APO jeans have done just that with a pair costing as much as $ 4,000 or more. They offer mens and ladies jeans with Silver Buttons and Rivets at $1,000, 14k White or Yellow Gold Button and Rivets at $1,500, Platinum Button and Rivets at $3,250, and the Diamond Button and Rivets start at $4,000. All Jeans will come with Authenticity Number as well as an Appraisal Sheet from a top Jeweler in the NY diamond district. Of course, you could buy the economy version: they run only $1,000 a pair. APO jeans are constructed from denim woven in India that costs $40 a yard, compared with the $2- to $3-per-yard cost of materials for most designer denim. Buttons and rivets are made with precious metals or, if a customer is willing to shell out $4,000 or more, up to a dozen white diamonds on the main button.

It costs more than a BMW 3-series convertible, or a Jaguar S-Type. A Motorola covered in 1200 diamonds and featuring a keyboard soaked in 18-carat gold, the phone is priced at 28, 000 pound sterling. The new phone beat the previous record held by another Aloisson ‘Diamante’ phone – an identical model featuring a paltry 950 diamonds laid into the gold bodywork. That phone retailed for 23, 000 pound sterling. “The people who buy my phones don’t have to worry about security – they all have bodyguards,” he told UK tabloid The Sun.
Most expensive nail polish: $250
How special could you feel by wearing sheer nail polish that has platinum dust in it? And how many people would be mad enough to do that? Many!

However, the first bottle was displayed in special bottle made with a platinum top and base that is valued at $55,000.

Rupali: I am not sure about the ‘age’ of the news, but it was quite a while already. I believe some of the items still holding the most expensive status.

but like the gold and stuff makes it cool.
And the other stuff… pretty cool
This list is ludicrous in the extreme. We live in a world riddled with poverty, with millions dying from curable diseases everyday; simply because they can not afford the medicine that would save them. Yet we have companies making £7000 tea bags and ties worth millions. In an ideal world where everyone has the same opportunities, these products would be tasteless and crass, but in a world that starves, where our western money would save them it becomes much more than a question of taste, we insult the poor and destitute and should be ashamed of ourselves. We are all complacent and I am no better than most, laziness, selfishness and greed grip us tightly but ignorance no more, we all know the problems in the world through are endless media sources at yet this web page is probably more visited than pages that make political acute points on how every-man can make a difference. I am ashamed of my wealth, my health and most of all my people. Most men i believe try to be good just not hard enough. I have no answers for no one seems to ask questions and if they did i probably wont have an answer, i am just another fool in this foolish circus, i walk the tight rope and try to keep my balance and i love my life but we must give others the chance to walk the same rope instead of just making more jeweled. thank you
I cant believe that guy cuts hair for that much when he looks like a mop. Vanity will be the death us all but at least we will die pretty.

That’s sickening. Absolutely disgusting!
‘babykrish’ u r just as disgusting as everything on that list. have a bit of respect.
I happen to know this man benedict. I can safely say he is the biggest, crass fool that could exist. His father is a sultan and owns all 15 things on the list so suck on that babykrish. As you Lb, you have been drawn in by benedicts well renown charisma. You fool. wisen up and smell the diamonds…
I agree with benedict 100%. There are so many people who will use thier money for things they find glamorous such as the things on the list and they forget that there are others living in our world who have nothing. Maybe if all of these people who are wasting thier money on such expendable items could join together and give thier money to greater causes then our world would be one step closer to a more heavenly place to live in.
I am a vampire and i agree with my wife Nancy Riggins 100%.
Im a vampire and i have unlimited money, but hose of you who dont have unlimited money, imaginee how happy those in africa would be if you spent that much on them.
Think about it.
I know a guy named Keith, who passed away recently, who didnt have money to spend, think about him.

What a bastaurd men sallu . You all men are pig. Like ooge ooge kuute
the things listed aboue are not that expensive. i could buy most of that stuff with a click of my fingers. My dad lets me buy anything and i already have the teaddy bear, and will soon be getting the pen. HAHAHA u lot are soooooo poorrrrrrrrrrr.
Hamza get over yourself. no one cares if you have the teddy bear or whatever, and to be quite honest you’re probably making it up. Just to get attention. Plus you are probably the meanest person I’ve ever met. Even if you are rich, no one cares. You’re acting a bit like a spoilt brat.
A lot of people in this world are poor. They can’t help it, so stop being so selfish and think of others.
TBH I think this list is ridiculous. £1,000,000 for a pair of ugly shoes? I think I’ll pass on that

Hamza you dont have to say that. Really there are a lot of people in this world that dont have that kind of money. And even if you are telling the truth I personally dont appriciate it. It would take me a lifetime to buy anything on that list. And again even if you are telling the truth you dont need to rub it in other peoples faces. I’d like to see you live in my shoes for a while. You probably would not even last. Just go to bed tonite and think of all the less fortunite. Think of all the poeple who dont have the kind of oppertunities as alot of people in this world. And I kind of agree with Esme. Most people cant help that they are less fortunite. And you probably arent the nicest person in the world and are EXTREMELY selfish and you need to think of others for a change.
the painting is nothing special then its price…
stupid person will willing to have it.. lol
I’m poor myself, I can call myself a poor person since I cannot afford all those things, plus I’m teenager and I haven’t a job, but let’s be honest, although I had all the money of the world I never would pay that money for any of those things, I mean, why having them? for example, what’s the difference between a simple pen and the pen with diamon?
Both were made for the same shit, to write, both make to sahe thing, I don’t really know why those things are so expensive, it’s just about business, plus, you all are american, I’m venezuelan and in Venezuela the gold is cheap as fuck, I don’t really understand why the cellphone made of gold is that expensive.
However, I think all this is a piece of shit, waste of time and money, specially the haircut, there was a guy who said “He will die being pretty”
Pretty? hahaha, the guy of the picture looks like an ugly gay, ugly haircut, and ugly face, it doesn’t matter how much the haircut costs, my haircut worths around 15 bucks and I look better than that fag
hy wow thts really awsome. But i like to tell that what will happend if we use these things. Is these things are the guarantee of happy life? You know who will buy these things, da one who is searching for happiness and he is too tense. Wishes never fullfill. this is da mistake of da person who made it. Why he dont think for that how many poor daily die coz of poverty.
Um, if i would wish to afford any of these i would definitely go with the cocktail! simply because i need a special way to ask my mate to marry me!
Wow, that’s just crazy!! Great article though, thanks!

xxxbabii3krishxxx you are so stuck up. who cares how rich you are you should be donating some money to haiti since you are such a pampered spoiled brat who gets everything while others have to work. you wouldnt last 2 minutes being me.
Well…so many jeleaous comments.
One, who has the money, may use it in a manner/fashion , one likes.
We, who do not have the money, atleast have a chance of knowing or see the amazing things.
And one advise to millionaires and billionaires…pl use your money. You cant take it with you.
We, poor people do not have money, and therefore cant use it. Those rich, not using their money will be stupid.
God bless all rich peoples. We poor people have some one to look at.

Why are all the most expensive items always studded with rare metals and minerals? Besides that, they produce absolutely nothing of value. Now, the single most expensive item in the world is actually anti-matter. A single gram is estimated to cost BILLIONS.
I think your all mental.

Hey don’t b angry u poor people. .m gonna gift them all to my servant ha. .he’s so poor. .he he
I’m poor, I belive I’m in that catagory especially since my mom makes only 15,000 a year and I don’t live with my dad, he took off. I have a little sister. We couldn’t keep up with da trailer house ever since my dad left and I had to move to Government homes with my mom and little sister. I’m a jobless teenager with no allowence. God has blessed me with a TV, games system, and computer. I am gratefull for what I do have. I don’t have a real bed, it would take up my whole room if I did. I have one of the sofa ones. The day my tube TV broke, it took me half a year to save up for the cheepest 32in hdtv I wanted. I was collecting every kind of change and dollar bills. I have the only hdtv in da house. Yesterday we bought a new table, it’s $50 more than the last table. It’s $300. The other table was 11 years old and half broken. We put the new 1 in the living room since the kitchen is too small and we don’t have a dinning room. I use the same $2 backback I bought 2 years ago. It would be nice to chew gum at school like the other preps in my PreAP class but I hate to spend my money. I have $10 and have no idea when I’ll get more. My mom usally has the same amount after the small bills and grocerys/necessities. I love to look up the most luxery estates, vehicals, and stuff to watch what I’m missing out on feeling like a nobody, since I am a nobody. It’s a dream for me to have a private pool in my own back yard. I can only pray theres no ghetto in heven. My favorite store is best buy, even though I can’t buy anything I still admire the LED’s and Samsungs and 58inch flat screens I can pretend to have. I’m thankful for my dollarstore fan durring the summer and my banket durring the winter. My mom just bought a car for $1900 with low monthly payments. My uncle has been driving her to her low paying job for the last 4 months. Now we have a 1993 mazda. When my dad was here he’d make a little less than 12 thousand a year. He’s disabled by get hurt unloading heavy boxes working at McDonalds in the year 2001 and gets 9 hundred something a month. If you would like to comment my e-mail is (stephrodriguez@grandecom.net).
