Till date we have come across various models of affordable speakers’ viz. signature diamond speakers (£11,000) and Cabasse Karissima Speakers ($25000) offering easily-accessible features. But what about a combo of a shooting price (almost times) with features for next-generation technologies in an ordinary looking speaker.
Yes, the YG Acoustics Voyager speakers retailed at $100,000 has been designed for the tycoons, who can easily loose 6 figures down on a pair of goddamned speakers with a blind eye and deaf ears.
But one thing is sure that no sound would justify the cost. Made up of cast aluminum, these luxurious speakers are packed with multiple trade-secrets as claimed by the company.

Can’t say if the techies will put their hands on this U3 USB, but what I’m sure about is the fact that the bling lovers won’t be able to put their hands off this 14k Gold Flash Drive.
Carved out as a Limited Edition piece by an Israeli Jewellery Shop called the e-jewel, this 4 GB hand crafted solid USB drive is priced at a crispy $2000. Now this is not where the blingy story ends…there’s more to this dazzling USB.
Considered as the most glamorous and expensive U3 flash drive ever, this one also features a radiant diamond. WOW!! Yeah, and below the diamond shines an amber LED that glows as you plug in the Gold Flash Drive.

This captured scene features ‘Saruman’s Orcs in the battle of Helms Deep’ from a musical adaptation of J.R.R Tolkien’s ‘The Lord Of The Rings’ currently showing in London’s West End. With a $ 50 million (37 million euros) budget, the show is the most expensive ever produced in the West End.
The life within the show is a living proof of the popularity bagged by the show on Tuesday night. Even before the show could begin, the audience felt that they are elevated from their seats to visit the J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy world of Middle Earth, specifically the territory belonging to Hobbits.

This elite USB stick is a blessing not for all geeks. Its cost factor is what debars many, forcing them think twice to feel it. I would love to have this device but won’t prefer to spend this big amount and would wish if someone could gift me this.
This golden USB stick is decorated with gold and diamonds and offers you the opportunity to take either 14 or 18 carat gold stick. Also, you have the full freedom to take stick without diamond. It’s retailed at $ 3,500 (with diamonds) and $ 2,800 without it.
But one thing is for sure that this USB would act more as an accessory than a device. It will act as a transitory tool, thereby elevating your image in your official circle at least.
The specks don’t say even a word about its capacity but at such a cost one expects to have a 256 MB stick.

Today I am here before you to have a small chat with all the wealthy fishes or even sharks. My interest is to know their mindset….wishes….dreams….and their measures to achieve them.
Enough of elite products! How do elite gentry lead their life? Do they eat the similar food offered on earth planet or are they served with some alien platter? Do they love to be single or they give a chance to get mingle? My mind is full of such thoughts that I want to vomit here but…….
Anyways, the deepest worry is the world’s biological clock (generations after generations), the medium for which is marriage.
At the recent party held in Moscow “Marry a Millionaire Party”, the young pretty belle were found hunting for their better quarter (not better half) and vice-versa. Kira Vlasova (19) also made her presence at the party.
The booming post-Soviet, oil-fueled economy has produced about 75 billionaires in Russia and more than 100,000 millionaires. That’s created yet another industry aimed at women who want to marry for money.
Matchmakers are busy, marketing their services not only to young women of modest means who dream of rich husbands, but also to wealthy parents who fear that they’ll lose it all to Russia’s omnipresent corruption if their daughters don’t marry into riches.
