Born Rich Baby!

This is a bit of a segue, but today I wanted to talk about a website titled BornRich.org. I stumbled upon BornRich.org while perusing PC Magazine’s Top 100 Websites. They bill themselves as “BornRich is an Instablogs Network site. Its sole aim is to help you spend all your hard-earned money on the snootiest thingmagig around. Our people are working around the clock to find ways to empty your wallet and make you bankrupt.”

With the subprime fiasco? We need more forces to make people bankrupt? Well we’re not just talking about people, apparently we’re talking about BORNRICH … people

Here are some of the highlights that I found!

My favorite? The Sigzilla telephoto zoom lens, it’s one sexy beast! This uber-telescope/huge telephoto zoom lens, which involves a necessary Li-ion battery to provide power for focusing and zooming, is a MUST HAVE! Price tag? 25 grand!



NEXT UP!

The Indoor Shooting system … let’s you get trigger happy at home!

To make all your unfulfilled gun-wielding fantasies come true, check out the N Range Indoor Shooting System. Stick a picture of your boss/wife/mother-in-law’s head over the aim, and you’re good to go! The Standard version retails for $1,300 and the Executive version goes for $3,500. Makes a better mental health investment than a nosey shrink – any day!



Perhaps you don’t want to shoot your boss? The alternative to NOT going to jail, the Gorgeous Walk-In Humidor for true cigar connoisseurs.

Developed by the legendary Swiss humidor maestros Michel Perrenoud, S.A., the home humidor is perfect for a living room or smoking cellar installation. Though primarily conceptualized for hotels and cigar bars which feature separate smoking rooms, the home humidor gives you and your family the peace and quiet their separate lifestyles require. Needless to say you? You’ll have to dish out precisely $82,383 plus installation and international shipping. Cigar Rehab anyone?



Perhaps you’re interested in something more soothing and serene? The Silverfish Aquarium might just be the final frontier for watching your fish swim about… and the warmth and comfort that implicitly provides!



Have you given up on filling what your shrink calls the “hole in your soul” … well perhaps the $94,000 diamond-studded cell phone courtesy of Softbank and Tiffany is the answer to your loneliness and fear!



Following what THEY call contemporary trends, the Softbank Mobile, Japan, has announced a diamond-studded phone, finished jointly with renowned American jeweler Tiffany. The sparkling handset is jeweled with more than 400 diamonds totaling over 20 carats, which will be based on third-generation (3G) model and up for grabs for around $94,000. The hot luxury phone is a part of 15 new handsets lineup that will hit the market from February onwards. Oooohhh! Just in time for Valentine’s Day!

I will close with a most outlandish choice … and I include it for a man who is near and dear to my heart! I present a giant triceratops skeleton … which will be auctioned off at Christie’s in Paris this spring.



It’s a giant triceratops skeleton and it is expected to sell for $736,000. This dinosaur has been immortalized in Spielberg’s Jurassic Park. A giant shark teeth and a sabre-toothed tiger skull will be also up for auction. The auction is scheduled for April 14. It’s the very first time in Christie’s history that such a dinosaur specimen goes up for public sale since a T-Rex called ‘Sue’ was sold in New York in October 1997.

The four-legged triceratops dates back between 65 and 67 million years, measures 7.5 meters (nearly 25-foot-long) in length and has a large bony frill and three horns. There are 150 items in total up for bids, including fossils, skeletons and minerals. A sabre-toothed tiger cranium is anticipated to fetch 45,000 Euros while a fossilized giant shark teeth from 23 to 5.3 million years ago is valued at 4,000 Euros. Other than that, a tyrannosaurus egg is expected to sell for between 20,000 and 25,000 Euros while an apatosaurus dinosaur tibia from the Jurassic Period has been valued at 30,000 Euros. What are you going to buy to impress your guests?
