If you're not the lucky person who snapped up the Stradivari violin for $2.7 million, but were in the running, I bet you're sitting there right about now with a big chunk of money burning a hole in your pocket. But worry not, oh loaded one, there are many other things to chuck your money at willynilly. Here are a few of my favourite demonstrations of excess, all waiting for you and your credit card.
Nothing says glamour like having a big snake wrapped round your neck - just ask any West Coast rapper (like I know the difference between East Coast and West Coast..). It's the new 'having a goldfish bowl in the heel of your shoe', donchaknow. So, if you're feeling the bling, you can't go far wrong with this Cobra phone from Vertu. It sports a pear-shaped diamond, three emeralds, and 439 artfully arranged rubies. All for just $310,000 USD. Bargain.
But what if you're old money? Well, you probably take lots of picnics on your land, after you punt down the river. So, invest in the Mumm Champagne Expedition Kit, which is made from nappa leather, comes with a padded and insulated chilling compartment and a cotton lined section for "two elegant, yet indestructible champagne flutes". It even comes with a Leatherman knife, and a protected 'secret' map pocket containing a silk map of the Champagne region of Reims. All this, for only £275?
Coming blindingly under the 'more money than sense' banner, if you simply can't think of anything else to spend your money on, you might want to consider buying some gold staples. You can staple them using your bog standard stapler, so you can decide whether you're going to make a feature out of them on your clothing, or just use them indiscriminately to fasten together Very Important Bits of Paper. Or just receipts.
Maybe you've only got delusions of riches though, and whilst you like to pretend you're in the money, in actual fact, you're going to need your purchases to work double time. So, why not combine a flashy piece of jewellery with some data storage? It's the perfect combination, like crumpets and marmite, Smith and Western, Brad and Jen Angie. You can pick up one such model from Mii.
Leaving the best for last, why not throw any semblance of sanity to the wind, with this million dollar laptop from Luvaglio. Whilst you might find it difficult to find out any specs, since you need a password just to enter the website, you're far too rich to care about such details such as whether the thing will actually work. Still, rumour has it it's got piano black finish, a self-cleaning screen, a Blu-ray drive, and a diamond-encrusted power button. What price not having to wipe your own screen, eh?
