........ you can have a piece of Michael Schumacher!!
Calling all the super rich Schumacher fans! The car Michael Schumacher won his first championship in has now turned up on JamesList for a whopping €1.5 million (about $2,087,500 at the time of writing). This is the original Formel 1 Benetton-Ford F1 B194-8 driven by the F1 legend when he won his first world championship in 1994 in Adelaide, Australia. The world championship winning car is in mint condition with the original 3,5l Ford-Crossworth ZETEC R air valve V8 engine.
The car comes with the original paddle shift gearbox and features shift-without-lift technology and traction control. Offered on sale by MGR, the iconic car is located in Frankfurt, Germany.

........ or LV-lized your ride in........ Paris Hilton style........
Some people are not happy with a stunning car in their garage; they need to jazz it up even more. And the best way to do it is go for a wrap. While many settle for the boring ones, there are some adventure lovers who dare to differ. So if the Super Mario wrap was not your thing, head over to Dartz. The guys there have come up with a footballer motif wrapped on an Audi R8 that looks like a Louis Vuitton style chessboard. You can pick from colors that suite your persona, but black and white looks awesome. Plus you can enjoy a game of chess while you wait it out.

........ or go buy the world most expensive belt!
In 2009, Gucci took pride in debuting to the fashion world, the world’s most expensive belt. And is the way in the fashion world, it was a given that someone would eventually challenge this feat. Giving stiff competition to the Gucci belt and vying to become the world’s most expensive belt is this exquisite belt from luxury French jewelry designer Akillis. With an asking price of Euro 40,000 ($55,700), this belt is definitely one of the priciest fashion offerings for this holiday season! Unlike the Gucci belt which has a logo-shaped buckle that is encrusted in diamonds, the Akillis belt goes for the kill (literally) with a buckle featuring empty Kalashnikov rifle bullets encrusted with diamonds.
For this extravagant creation, Caroline Gaspard, CEO of Akillis took inspiration from heroic epics, spy and gangster films. If you can get your eyes of the stunning belt buckle and spare a glance for the belt you will realize it is made in exquisite alligator skin.
If you are wondering about the market for such pricey fashion accessories, let us tell you that three of these belts have already been sold.

........ Christmas is around the corner, something to think about for your kids again!
Nostalgia has just come out with a special edition yo-yo that costs a staggering $5,000! It is said to have been hand made by the world champion yo-yo builder Shinobu Konmoto.
However, there is a six month waiting time as each piece takes that long to finish. Oh well, you might as well start learning to use a yo-yo than experiment on something that expensive!
I used to love playing monopoly as a kid; it meant family time with a healthy competitive spirit. But for some people, it seems to be more than a mere board game, ask jeweler Sidney Mobell. After hearing about a Monopoly tournament in London in 1988, Mobell after seeking the permission of the orginal makers, the Parker Brothers crafted one in hard gold and precious gems. The world's most expensive Monopoly game at $2 million will go on display at the Museum of American Finance. The dice with 42 full-cut diamonds signifying the numbers is priced at $10,000. The board game also features the photo etched “Chance” and “Community Chest” cards along with 165 gemstones in total.
An ounce of gold which cost between $360 and $460 when it was first crafted costs over $1,300 an ounce. The board game has been played on just once in a game between the maker and former British Prime Minster Edward Heath. Mobell also has other jewelry encrusted board games to his name including backgammon, dominos and chess sets.
If Tony Sage is the client and Stuart Hughes is the designer cum maker, then undoubtedly the outcome has to be the world’s most expensive phone. Exclusively made by Stuart, the iPhone 4 Diamond Rose Edition flaunts a tag of £5 million ($8,020,000). Tony, who is renowned in the gold mining industry and also the sole owner of Perth's A-league soccer team, will certainly not settle for anything inexpensive. And since we have been following a range of most expensive cell phones, it’s simple to understand that the boost in the price tag is directly related to the increase in the number of diamonds and other precious stones metals. The iPhone 4 Diamond Rose Edition sports a rose gold bezel caked with 500 diamonds (100 ct) on front and 53 diamonds on the apple logo on the rear. Here the main navigation button comprises of a 7.4ct pink diamond which is set in platinum. However there is an option of swapping the pink diamond with an 8ct single cut diamond.
A 7 kg chest made out of single block of Imperial Pink granite and lined with Nubuck leather holds this ostentatious device. Only two such 32GB handsets will be made to preserve its exclusivity.
I'd love to have a solid gold grenade, now that's just gangsta, kill a man with gold shrapnel in his face. Also that LV wrapped R8 looks hot Posted via RS Mobile
