There are some fantastic (and sometimes preposterous) items in this ABC News slideshow ‘Expensive Everyday Items for the Rich’—including the $121,106 diamond-studded thong (left) that contains 518 diamonds and weighs 30 carats. Some other items of interest: a diamond-encrusted Hot Wheels car (23,000 diamonds, 23 carats, $140,000), a Scrabble set studded with 30,000 Swarovski crystals worth $20,000, a Frozen Haute Chocolate dessert costing $25,000 at New York’s Serendipity-3, and a Goldvish luxury cellphone made out of 18-carat gold and covered in more than 100 carats of diamonds (worth $1.2 million). See the full set of photos and wonder if we really are entering a recession.
