| a VIRTUAL island that is...very nerdy and strange... As the virtual worlds are becoming mainstream, it would come as a little surprise that people have started buying virtual properties with real money, however, you are in for a big surprise as the world’s most expensive virtual island goes on sale for a whopping $26,500. The amount is paid by David Storey, a 27-year-old graduate student living in Sydney, Australia, who got his name listed in the Guinness World Records for “Most valuable object that is virtual.” It is estimated that the virtual goods market in the U.S. would reach $1.6 billion this year, up from $1 billion in 2009, but that’s just a tip of the iceberg if stakes from countries like China and Korea are taken into account. Calling Mr. Storey’s example as extreme would make me sound a little old fashioned, but it certainly is extreme. |
| This is a BEAST of an SUV... When the $1.5M Russian SUV failed to adorn its interiors with whale penis leather, it was time to create an unbelievable armored car to keep up with the continued (mis)adventures of the world’s most expensive SUV. DARTZ has signed a contract with Riviera Premium Service and now this uber luxury, super strong and extra fast Russian Tank can meet you at a nice airport and deliver anywhere you want. So, if you find the idea of the world’s most expensive SUV, minus the whale-penis leather interiors, and if by any chance you’re visiting any cities of the French Riviera, you can rent a DARTZ at Cote d’Azur. As it is with the unique cars, armored DARTZ is of course, in limited edition. However, there are plenty of color options to choose from, including your choice of color if your booking order is placed a week before. |
