1:18 scale bugatti veyron model is more $ than the real car. [pic]
 

At what point does a conspicuous display of wealth become obscene?

Well, a solid gold, diamond-encrusted model of a Bugatti Veyron, if it doesn't cross the line, certainly comes close.

It is called, officially, the Bugatti Veyron Diamond Limited Edition and it's a scaled replica of a true Veyron (1:18) in solid 24-carat gold, platinum and adorned with 7.2 carat single cut flawless diamonds.

price: $2.9 million

who really needs that shit?

I'll take two real ones instead.

I'll take 3.

i figured drug dealers and sheiks eh.

:1orglaugh

I've got two. :)

Fucking amazing waste of money.

i could find a better way to blow 2.9 mm

$2.9m they could be well spend if some sheik will donate to the poor people

Recession? Apparently not!

Rich people don't know what to do with cash

id hang it around my neck on a mr t style chain

I'd buy one and play with it in my bathtub.

It's not like the money's exactly "gone".

lol stupid

WTF? Why would anyone get this?

For the Dubai Oil Sheik that has everything...

nice investment

much better investment than the actual car

I wouldn't buy it, so it's worthless.

Fucking tacky.

I need a bigger gold chain to hold that one up..

<directed towards all dumbass comments about waste of money>> I dont really know shit about gold or diamonds but... I guess you could always RESELL it for the same price or more :uhoh Unlike a car that depreciates drastically...

Drug lords, 3rd World Monopolists, Banana Republic dictators, you know...the usual suspects.:1orglaugh

Would go well with that genuine platinum threaded velvet Elvis painting:thumbsup

I'd rather steal it off some dudes office desk.

What a joke!

Must be nice to piss away 3 large on that
