Most expensive phones....
Stuart Hughes–the iPhone 4 Diamond Rose Edition.
"Latest iPhone from Stuart Hughes–the iPhone 4 Diamond Rose Edition. Hughes has recreated the infamous antenna band that wraps around the sides of the latest iPhone, as well as the backplate, using rose gold. The band is adorned with 100 carats of flawless diamonds, and the Apple logo is formed with fifty-three more diamonds. Once again, the home button gets the most love–it’s made of platinum and features a rare 7.4-carat pink diamond.
The phone comes in an imperial pink 7-kilogram chest cut from a single block of granite and lined with nubuck top-grain leather. It also comes with an 8-carat flawless diamond that can be used in place of the pink one."
The asking price: $8million

I think it is just silly. The pink turns me OFF. They just slap diamonds and gold on these things and that is it. Personally, i prefer this one: the Gresso Luxor Las Vegas Jackpot...it has gold/diamond...but it goes beyond that, it has a certain smoothness to it, egyptian inspired design is also neat, and of course, it tops it off with an exclusive african wood...the Mpingo...
Gresso Luxor Las Vegas Jackpot
"This ultra-exclusive phone, limited to only three units, truly lives up to its name. Not only is it extraordinarily expensive, but its Egypt-inspired design will look right at home in the hands of a Vegas high-roller. The phone features 45.5 carats of black diamonds decorating the bezel and a back panel made from 200-year-old African blackwood—the most expensive wood in the world: the Mpingo. As if that weren’t enough to ensure the Jackpot a place among the world’s most expensive mobile phones, each key is cut from a hand-polished sapphire crystal. All of these luxurious materials are set in a 180-gram solid gold frame."
ASKING PRICE? A smooth: $1 million

The Most Expensive Race Horse
CNBC did a compilation of the most expensive thoroughbreds:
http://www.cnbc.com/id/39456431/Most_Expensive_Thoroughbreds
Last time i check it was the "GREEN MONKEY" that still take the cake. It was fetched for $16million. Let us put that price in contest. 'Compare that to some Kentucky Derby winners who sold at auction: Fusaichi Pegasus went for $4 million, Alysheba went for $500,000, Winning Colors went for $575,000. The Green Monkey cost at least 4 times that price.
The irish tycoon outbidded the middle eastern sheik for this horse.... If i recall correctly, they get them when they past being a foal: when they are around 2 yrs old(of course, they only go for the colt) and train them for those races...but...you should still see some action out of them before plunging down something as high as $16million.
Green Monkey is not the fucking SECRETARIAT for fucks sake.
Here is his pedigree. .
He was descended from FORESTRY....
Take a look at the picture of the horse: this is what $16million looks like.
Here is a video of the horse at auction:
His performance? a fucking disappointment. So they let him enter stud...even his performance there was also disappointment, i think he finally sired one a year or so ago.
I just dug up a choice quote(check below).....The best part:
"The Green Monkey Makes a Monkey Out of Bidders
Unless you’re a huge fan of the band America, you might not envision shelling out eight figures for a horse with no name. That’s exactly what happened in a January 2006 auction at Calder Race Course, though.
When the auctioneers brought a colt who was only known as “number 153” to the auction block, a fierce bidding war broke out. Buyers weren’t afraid to open their wallets for a colt that was described as “perfect,” and when the hammer dropped the horse went for a record $16 million. The winning bidders quickly christened the colt The Green Monkey, and excitement to see how the horse would do in races began to build. After all, the colt had run an eighth of a mile in a blazing 9.8 seconds in pre-auction workouts, so anything was possible once he started racing.
The buyers thought they were getting a Triple Crown threat. Instead they got the thoroughbred version of Ryan Leaf. (entropy: OUCH!)The Green Monkey could never translate his workout speed into actual races, and in his career, he only managed one third-place finish in a measly three starts.(entropy: HAHAHAHAHAHA) In 2008, his owners retired him from racing to stand at stud. If his progeny enjoy the success that eluded the Green Monkey, he might make some of his substantial purchase price back. It will be tough, though; right now he only pulls in $5,000 as a stud fee." (entropy: HAHAHAHAHA. HEHEHEHEHE. HOHOHOHOHOHO )

DRESSAGE.
DRESSAGE.
Continuing on the themes of horses. There is dressage competition. It is not as gay as it sounds....it is an art of precision training of horses. The Persians used it to help in their Parthian shot strategy.
The most fun one i have seen so far is by Andreas Helgstrand. He did it on the BLUE HORS MATINE. The dressage master can select whatever music s/he wants.
Anyways, here is a video of what i am talking about:
Here is more stuffed-up version:

Entropy check out Sea The Stars, this horse was given to some chinese kid by his parents and was undeafeated in his 3 year old season of group one racing. That horse won every big race in Europe and was retired at three with an estimated value between 95 and 160 million dollars. The value is based on a stud fee of $116000 per shag, thats right the horse is so alpha it gets paid a 100k each time to fuck the finest mares in the world.

Impressive. Nothing short of impressive. 100K each time to shag the finest piece of arse in the world.
