Tiffany and Co. edition mobile phone for $93,000
I just saw on the noontime TV news that Softbank Mobile will release in collaboration with Tiffany and Co. a blinged-out, diamond-encrusted phone with a charming price of more than 10 million yen ($93,751 USD)! According to their press release, the phone will be covered with 400 diamonds totaling more than 20 carats.
And just in case that is not expensive enough for you, you can order this “Jupiter” personal computer housed in a case made from pure platinum for mere 80 million yen – around $750,187 USD from Tokyo firm Zeus Computer (also there’s a “Mars” PC made from solid gold for only 60 million yen or $562,561 USD) according to TechDigest.

I’m sure that Tiffany and Co. choose Japan for this stupid phone was that in Japan $93,000 (65,000 euros) does not buy much fun, house, or even a car—The Tiffany phone would be cheaper over a 3-year period than owning a new luxury car (parking is $28/day, drivers license $2,400, gas is $6+/gallon, etc).
