Spending a few extra bucks on any mundane stuff in this financial meltdown situation might not be a good idea for many of us, but the $599 limited edition 8GB 18-carat solid gold Pico-C USB drive hopes to change the conception. Coming straight from the house of Super Talent, this lavish gold USB drive is water resistant and supports up to 30MB/s transfer speeds. The custom-made Pico-C drive comes with an 18-carat solid gold keychain, a serialized certificate of authenticity and the whole thing is delivered in a black velvet jewelry box. Laser etching is done at no extra cost. Do they really need to charge extra considering the already hefty price tag? Anyway, the 8GB 18-carat solid gold drive is available on a preorder basis for a limited time.

And, hey, if you want to find a little luxury lingerie under the tree this year, you’ll only have to shell out a mere 5 mil.
Not bad for 1500 carats that will never see the light of day.

Most Expensive Razor
If you’re the kind of guy who manages to cut himself with a safety razor, the world’s most expensive razor is not for you. If you have steady hands, an appreciation of fine craftsmanship and the kind of budget that lets you buy a $30,000 razor, though, then you may want to take a look at what Hommage has created for people like you.
Known for their luxury personal grooming products, Parisian company Hommage certainly lives up to their reputation with the Damascene Razor. The name comes from the Damascus steel used to make the blade. While the technique for making the True Damascus encountered during the Crusades has been lost since the 1700s, modern pattern welding techniques have produced similar blades. The 128 layers of steel in the Damascene Razor produce a rose and torsion pattern much like those seen in True Damascus blades.
The blade isn’t the only expensive material used to make this extravagantly crafted straight razor, though. The razor’s sheath is platinum plated and it comes in a lacquered gift box of Tanzanian anigré wood.
If you want one, though, you’d better buy it now. The most expensive razor in the world is a limited edition item.
