Toys for the Rich: Diamond Contacts
Luxury Guide, Toys for the Rich on September 6, 2011
Luxury and beauty have been taken to a whole new level. Now, for a cool $15,000, you can bring the twinkle of diamonds to your eyes. Yes, real diamonds in the form of diamond contacts. And depending on what affect your going for the custom made lenses can also be tailored with gold plating. The standard pair offered now through developers, Shekhar Eye Research, are gold-plated, diamond contact lenses encrusted with 18 sparkling diamonds. Now, that’s bling like never before.
But some argue that rather than beautifying, these SER diamond contacts have the affect of scaring people. After all, we are not used to looking into people’s eyes and having the glare of a cat’s eyes at night beaming back. I think that’s the best way it can be described, as cat’s eyes at night. Inventor Chandrashekhar Chawan told TODAY.com that he, “got mixed responses…some said its looks scary, but most of the people loved it.” Chawan added, “Bollywood personalities loved the concept, that it’s going to be ‘in thing’ in fashion soon.”
And while some are concerned with possible health risks involved, Chawan claims the diamond contact lenses are in his words, “very safe.” And while it may cross the mind, SER diamond lenses are a serious attention getter that will steal the show at any major event if worn. For now they may not be mainstream, but Chawan envisions a future where diamond contact lenses replace traditional jewelry such as diamond rings for marriage proposals.
3 Luxuries Every Rich Man Has To Have
Luxury Guide, Rich People on August 30, 2011
Luxury is automatically associated with the wealthy. For most rich men it is all about showing off what you can afford; whether it is purchasing the biggest home on the block or a personal jet plane. There are some over the top luxury items that are not needed by the wealthy, and then there are some that are an absolute must have.
Here are the 3 Luxuries Every Rich Man Has To Have:
1. Personal Chef:
Wealthy men are busy professionals that do not have the time to come home and make dinner each night. This is where hiring a personal chef becomes a necessity for the rich man. He can now come home from a long, stressful day of work and enjoy a fresh, home cook meal to his liking. This will only cost him about $80,000 to $150,000 yearly.
2. Staying In 5 Star Hotels:
These types of hotels only offer the best in customer service. You can expect clean and upgraded rooms. Most will have a flat screen TV, jacuzzi tub, liquor bar, upgraded kitchen, and separate living space. The finest bed sheets that is available on the market for a perfect night rest. Prepare to spend around $30,000 for a week’s worth of relaxation.
3. Classic or Exotic Car:
Purchasing a exotic car is one of the first luxury that any rich man wants. It also doubles as an expensive toy he can show off to his date for the night. Most rich men take pride in driving their vehicle while others might choose the option in hiring a driver. To purchase a exotic car can run anywhere from $200,000 to $400,000.
Toys for the Rich: The Zafiro Iridium Razor
Gifts for Rich Guys, Luxury Guide on August 16, 2011
You shave everyday before you head to the office, but how good is your razor? We’re sure you go with nothing less than a Gillette Fusion, because you only want the best. But what about a razor that is 1 of only 99 on the Earth and second to none? That would be the Zafiro Iridium razor pictured above. To start off with, the razor blades are made of pure sapphire, which is less than 100 atoms across and 5000 times thinner than a human hair. That makes for the closest shave money can buy. So close, razor burn will never, ever be an issue. But that isn’t even the most impressive part. We would have to say the 99.95% pure iridium handle, which is one of the rarest elements on Earth, is what really distinguishes the Zafiro Iridium razor. Oh, and did we mention that the screws used to hold it together are 99.95% pure platinum? So, what can you expect to pay for the Zafiro razor? How about a cool $100,000 USD?
3 Drinks to Order as Wealthy Men at the Bar
Luxury Guide, Rich People, wealthy men on August 12, 2011
When we go out to the bar, as wealthy men, we have an image to upkeep. This means ordering the right kinds of drinks that are revealing to the women around us. So that means no Bud Light, Coors Light, or other cheap domestic beers. The same goes for liquors, no Jack Daniels or Bacardi. And never, ever order wine. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, the more important part comes, what drinks DO we order as wealthy men? Well, here we are going to give you 3 general drinks with many more possibilities.
Wealthy Man Drink 1: Simply put, order a Martini. Nothing says I am sophisticated and have money quite like the shape of a Martini glass. And because it is pretty much just alcohol, go top shelf. Don’t order any cheap vodkas or gins. Instead, you go with the expensive stuff, so when the ladies ask, they know how you roll.
Wealthy Man Drink 2: Order a scotch. Again, here, don’t go cheap. Johnnie Walker is your best bet, and no Red or Black label. We only except Green or higher. Preferably Blue because it’s the best. And don’t water it down. This is the top of the top, so we either take it straight or on the rocks.
Wealthy Man Drink 3: If you have to drink a beer than it must beer rare and expensive to go along with the taste of rich men. For this reason, we suggest you go with a Trappist beer, which is usually made by monks in only Belgium, the Netherlands or Germany in a tradition that dates back a 1,000 years ago. Westmalle and Chimay are a good start if you have never tried one.
Fujitsu Super Frontech Vision LD Display
Luxury Guide on December 21, 2009
No mansion is complete without a larger than life flat-screen TV. The Fujitsu Super Frontech Vision LD Display redefines our notions of what makes a large flat-screen TV. This marvel of a TV has a 231 inch display. If that’s not amazing enough, its actual hardware consists of a 16 million color, LED display that is fully HD in quality.
I know this sounds amazing, but there are a few things to consider. First, the minimal viewing distance is 15 feet. Oh, and by the way, did I mention that it only cost a half-million dollars; yeah, that’s a pretty big second point to consider. Still, even wealthy people are entitled to window shop and fantasize about bigger TV’s. If you really want to grasp just how big of a dream this TV is, just take a look at the picture in the post.

We only mentioned ipod’s smallest model, “the Shuffle,” which Xexoo charges $19,000 for its gold-plated version. That lofty price includes 24/7 repair service and customized laser engravings.
