The island of Herm which is one of the Channel Islands just off the coast of France is for sale. The owners for the last 28 years, the Heyworth family are expected to receive about $30 million for the property.
The island comes with a manor house, a 13th century chapel, tourist cottages, pub, shops, housing for 150 people and even a jail!
Now Brangelina just shelled out apparently $75 Million for their French countryside chateau- for that amount of cash they could’ve bought 2 islands (and adopted all the inhabitants!) What were they thinking!

Pretty common knowledge that people will go to great lengths to spoil their ‘fur kids’. They dress them up, throw birthday parties for them, take them on exotic location etc…
But I am guessing you have to be very rich and very much in love with your dog to shell out $1.8 million for the Amour Amour dog collar. After all it has over a hundred carats of diamonds and rare jewels including a 7 carat brilliant cut diamond in the middle!
And let’s hope that Fido realizes how good he has it and doesn’t ever bite the hand that feeds him!

According to their website, the Neorest 600 from Toto if it must be called a toilet, can be thought of as the world’s most luxurious.
This automatic, tankless flusher features a lid that opens and closes on touch, an ionic barrier glaze finish that cleans the bowl with every flush and, for those who spend more time in the water closet than they’d like to admit, a seat warmer.
And you don’t need to bring a book, instead you can contemplate your sanity as you have spent $5,800 on this toilet.

Silk ties are pretty much de riguer these days, and you can get some pretty decent ties for your dad for under 20 bucks.
But this year, if you really want to impress your dad, give him a tie designed by Satya Paul for the Suashish Diamond Group.
Made of silk (natch) it also is adorned with some 261 diamonds.
To make dad smile at this tie- $250,000.

Retailing for $30,000 USD is Danish company Lantic System’s “Gold RC1″.
Besides your tv, stereo, dvd player it will control your alarm system, email, web browser and virtually anything else you want!
If I owned this, I don’t think I would lose it in the couch cushions very often, more likely I would keep it in a safety deposit box at the bank!

Next time you are in New York and you have a hankering for ice cream, be sure to stop by Serendipity and order their “Grand Opulence Sundae”.
Much like the pizza I talked about in another post, this sundae is covered with edible 24K gold flakes. And that’s really all that makes it special expensive.
Apparently they sell at least one of these sundaes a month…
You scream, I scream (when I get my VISA bill), we all scream for ice cream…

Swedish designer, Roland Iten has created a belt buckle which follows the same assembly process as a Geneva watch.
This assembly process can take anywhere between 9 to 18 months and is what accounts for the $18,000 USD price tag- oh, and fact that it is completely made of platinum.
And, good to know that you can get matching cufflinks too!

You can sleep soundly knowing your automobiles are well protected in a SAFE “Bat Cave” Garage Security System.
Starting around $2.5 Million, this custom-designed vault, protected by Level-VII ballistic panels, keeps the owner’s cars on a turntable two feet off the ground and includes a waterfall and moat to further block intruders.
A waterfall and a moat!
A waterfall…

Renee Strausse, owner of Renee Strausse for the Bride, worked together with Martin Katz Jewelers to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece bridal gown.
Littered with diamonds, the bride will literally sparkle on her special day while her father cries into his handkerchief not moved by emotion as those around him will think, but by the memory that this dress cost $12 Million!

Just wanting to share the world's ridiculous extravagances...
