Today as i pick up a copy of Straits Times, i came across this Special Edition "The Men's Club" - The Superrich @ Play and Work. I suggest you guys should just pick up that copy and have a look at how disgusting those rich ppl are.
In Case, you guys didnt lay your hand on that copy, i just abstract an article (with courtesy of The Straits Times)
Word for word (just to afirmed you that i didnt add salt and pepper to the post)
- A WEALTHY retired businessman went on a shopping spree at Tiffany & Co to show appreciation for the care his family provided him when he was hospitalised recently.
He showered the women in his life with diamonds. Says Ms Hew Yee Min, managing director at Tiffany & Co. "It was also an emotional moment for his wife and three daughters as he picked up several pieces of diamond jewellery for them to remember him by, in case anything happens to him"
That's one palpable reason for men to splurge on their women. At Louis Vuitton, its spokesperson Aileen Png says that typically, a man spends about $3,500 on bags, shoes, clothes and accessories for his loved ones in her shop. At Hermes, the bill can balloon to $300,000, as was the case of a man who bought a Birkin bag in crocodile hide and diamonds for his partner.
The super rich dont shop like ordinary mortals. Mr Christopher Kilaniotis, managing director for Cartier Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, recalls having to open his boutique at midnight for a regular customer who wanted to buy two watches for his wife who had just given birth.
At Sincere Watch, which markets top-end Frank Muller watches, its brand manager Angela Lor recites the case of a couple who wanted the 12 numerials on the watch dial to be replaced with letters from their names set in diamonds. The watchmaker was pleased to help, at a cool $400,000 to do the jobs.
Louis Vuitton's Ms Png says the dicerning men buy seasonal or limited edition bags and accessries for their women. For others, bejeweled watches and handbags are just as good.
Tiffany & Co had a special sale with its 24-carat rough diamond last year. The deal : customer visits the mine to see the diamond, chooses a cut with a diamond cutter in Antwerp, and decides on the setting with the jewelery designer. When all's done, the masterpeice is celebrated over breakfast at Tiffany's in New York.
As Tiffany & Co had only one diamond of this size, the deal was for one customer only, at a price of US$1 million (S$1.5million). It was snapped up in no time. -
See? disguesting isnt it.
If you think its the max, wait till you read this below....
- Dr Bernard Cheong has more than 100 watches, the most expensive being a rare Harry Winston Opus V that costs $250,000. He also added a $230,000 MB&F Horological Machine No (HM1) to his list. In any case, Dr Bernard Cheong is the owner of Lifeline Medical Group and property development companies. A bold statement was made by him. "I am not wealthy. I am just trying to find a hobby with meaning. The watches i have are inexpensive" -
What the hell! A person who could buy watches at exhorbitant prices say he is not rich! Then i have to ask him what do i then have to call myself?
The final draw is when he says his watches are not expensive! That Harry winston Opus V could easily buy a 4-room HDB flat now lah! Not expensive? My ass !
Someone wake up his ideas pls!
