Most Expensive Crap You Don't Need
In order to live, man needs food, water and some form of shelter. When man gets greedy, the basics are no longer good enough and he needs extravagant shelter, expensive food and the finest of everything.
Home
If you have been wondering where all the money you have been paying for gas has been going, here is your answer. You have been helping the head of petrochemical giant Reliance Industries, Mukesh Ambani, build this:
When finished, this 400,000 square foot home will have 27 stories and cost $2 billion. It has the same layout of a hotel or condominium but only 5 people will be living here. If that doesn’t sound unnecessary enough, it will also have 6 stories of parking space, a hanging garden, a home theater and an ice room complete with man made snow.
Pizza
A frozen pizza from Wal-Mart will cost you around $4. If you want it cooked for you and delivered, a pizza will cost approximately $15. So why would anyone feel the need to make a pizza that costs $1,000?
This pizza is topped with six types of caviar and lobster tail. Apparently, the caviar is a delicacy comprised of sturgeon roe and the roe of other fish from the sea and the pizza costs owner, Nino Selimaj, $720 just to make it.
A Scottish chef topped this when he made a pizza that sold for $4,200 on Ebay. However, it was made for a promotional charity and one like it hasn’t been sold since. Just for the record, it was made with lobster marinated in cognac, caviar soaked in champagne, Scottish smoked salmon, venison, vintage basalmic vinegar, proscuitto and topped with a large edible helping of 24-carat gold flakes.
Chocolate
Richard Donnelly decided that Hershey’s kisses weren’t good enough for the rich man. That’s why he started selling his chocolate for $75 per pound. However, he was no match for Knipschildt Chocolatier’s $250 dark chocolate truffle. That’s right, Fritz Knipschildt charges approximately $2,600 per pound for his French black truffle dusted with cocoa powder.
Water
If you are one of the people who think that tap water is only good enough for your yard, you probably spend a lot of money on bottled water. Hawaii Deep Marine Inc. understands your concern for top quality water and has begun selling deep seawater costing $33.50 for 2 oz. It is extracted from a depth of 915 feet from the waters surrounding Hawaii.
Of course, if you are in the club and decide to opt for water over alcohol, you can spend $50-$60 or more for a 750ml bottle of Bling H2O. The water has a nine-step purification process and is bottled in frosted Swarovski crystal bottles and then corked (for freshness, I assume). Kevin G. Boyd created a bottled water for extremely rich individuals willing to pay way too much for a simple bottle of water.

Popping a cork off a TWO OUNCE bottle of water is excess waste of energy, never mind the $40. Who needs purified seawater in 2 oz. corked bottles?
And here I thought that water from Fiji for $3.00 and advertised as a "green" product was silly...

However outrageous these examples are, it is all a matter of scale. Spending is related to earning, and poverty is also relative. Spending 20 dollars on a bottle of wine is ok with me and so many other folks, until I meet people making 2 dollars a day . . .

Most folks learn, when they are very little, to feel special, you must do something special, it is a feeling coming from others, given, with kind heart, a recognition for task accomplished. Sly, crafty, unscrupulous, cheating, merchants perverted people into thinking they can buy the same. One cannot! One can provoke envy, jealousy and the like. This has been accepted by many as equal. It is not. A huge part of the American economy is based on 'bigger therefore better' thinking. We are wrong! We are paying for this foolishness with a broken economy and looted, foreclosed McMansions. Our infrastructure is crumbling, it is not personal, so has little value in our preoccupation with the gloriously ostentatious. Now Dubai has caught the disease, and have outdone us in a big way! We no longer rule, on our own scale of measurement, how disappointing! Will we show our military might to appease our bruised ego? Somehow I don't think so. We must go away from the game, readjust ourselves, suffer tremendous social upheaval, go through a paradigm shift leaving many of us in a confused haze of changing values, and rebuild our broken selves and our value systems into sounder healthier folk with a better form of government and a more environmentally sustainable set of goals. The cheap oil of the world is gone folks! We need to readjust, or learn to speak Mandarin while bowing to our OPEC overlords and do their bidding, even fighting their dirty little wars in the Middle East! Wake Up America, Last Call, Last Call!

Good point. How would you know when you're done wiping? There must be some rich people walking around with dirty bums. Gross.

I went to the Renova website and supposedly the toilet paper is "color fast" so it won't wipe off on your bum.

I'd have to be dead of thirst to spend $40 for water, or $50 for a cup of "crappy" Coffee......

If the common palm civet was given the Renova toilet paper to wipe it's bum with after crapping out all it's goodness, would the coffee be worth even more?
Wolfie!
