The diamond design can be changed too, so, in case the custom pattern is not how you your ideal computer mouse, the company will be happy to personalize it as you wish.

There’s nothing better than plasma, right? Well, actually there is – gold plasma. You know how it goes, you just have to have a new product to present every year. So, if you can’t make any technical improvements, go ahead and just change the case and add some color to it. Or gold, gold and diamonds are always a good way to go and if you manage to incorporate a dead animal in the design, even better! Stuart Hughes has managed to do all this for Prestige so, in case you want to give your user experience a brand new makeover, and happen to have $2.3 million of spare change, PrestigeHD Supreme Rose Edition is the product for you!

It sounds great and it looks even greater, unfortunately, the greatest thing about it is its price – $16.26 million! A massive 9 carat diamond dominates the 18-karat white gold band and, while this style might be too flashy for some, it has certainly charmed an unknown diamond collector that bought this ring back in 2007!

New, modern gadgets are not the only ones with extravagant prices. In fact, the first commercially manufactured camera in the world was sold at an auction for $775.000. Not bad for a piece of history, I have to admit that. Maybe they could have reached a better price if they had remembered to leave the camera alone with Stuart Hughes and his bedazzling kit.

How many dresses could you buy for 1 million Euros (approximately $1.3 million)? According to one British lady, only one! After winning 2 million Euros in the lottery a man decided to split the money with his daughter. Now, I can’t tell you what did he do with his cut but I’ll tell you what his daughter did! She decided that the best option is to have all those bills sewn into a dress. Charming!

Yup, this wedding dress futures 150 carats worth of diamonds and costs “just” $12 million. Hey, a girl has to feel special for her big W day and if diamonds are what she wants, then so be it. As far as I know, the amazing, sparkly wedding dress remained unsold to this day. Apparently, no high profile bride wants her most important day taken over by such an expensive dress.

Pricy Domain

Need a domain for a new site? Check out the Insure.com. Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention – the domain was sold for $16 million last year. Cute, huh? I don’t know what I would to with $16 million but I certainly wouldn’t blow them all on a site. As you can see, impulse purchases come in all shapes and sizes. So what would you buy if you had millions to blow? A yacht? Diamonds? Golden gadgets? Could you say that money spoils people? I doubt anyone of these millions has been donated to charity… Top Photo Credit: MNicoleM

wow people are dumb to pay for that :P

OMG!! THE CAMERA'S LOVELY, TO ME IT WORTH ITS PRICE

What a list! :) # 10 impressed me the most. Who pays so much for domains these days? The best sites online have the weirdest domains that are not even real words and they did not even cost that much, google, facebook, twitter, yahoo to name a few... So basically you can get any domain and save the money for turning it into something big.

wow really? a diamond incrusted bra? i think i spelled that wrong.... :D a bra is just a bra

OMG...are those diamond dresses comfortable to wear?
