Default When you care enough to spend the very most

When you care enough to spend the very most
In the mood for some extravagantly luxurious stuff? If you’ve got money—lots of it—here are a few items to check out:

• Wispa Gold. Cadbury reintroduced the popular candy bar Wispa Gold with a special edition, wrapped in gold leaf and priced to be worth its weight in gold. The world’s most expensive chocolate bar was priced at £ 961.4 (about $1,630) but a regular version priced at 55 pence hit British shops in September. Cadbury brought the bar back after 22,000 people joined Facebook’s “Bring back Cadbury’s Wispa Gold” group.

• Pink diamond. Most diamonds are white, but a very rare 5-carat pink diamond will go on sale in Hong Kong in December. Christie’s is handling the sale and expects it to go for $5 million–$7 million, and possibly break the previous record: $7.4 million for a 19.66-carat diamond sold in Geneva in 1994.

• BeoVision 4-103. The most expensive television on the market, the BeoVision 4-103 offers a 103-inch, 100Hz plasma screen in full HD, along with a gas cylinder-powered motorized stand that rotates and tilts to the viewer’s preferred viewing angle, and a sensor that measures ambient light and adjusts the screen’s brightness to suit. It’s available for a mere £ 85,000, or about $144,000.
