Dom Pérignon Champagne


Showing off by buying expensive things is all very well. Watches, Yachts, Houses, Cars, Escorts. But I am sure that there is only one thing in the universe which is 100% guaranteed to impress even the hardiest of guests. Dom Perignon Champagne. It is unquestionable the most famous champagne in the world, and has gained an enviable reputation.

Of course, it is not the sort of thing you are likely to take with you in your daily lunch box. Dom Pérignon is extremely expensive, and of an extremely high quality. Good bottles of it are considered "inadequate" by the makers and are discarded. Only the very finest champagne to leave the winery ends up in a bottle labeled Dom "Pérignon".

Dom Pérignon was actually Dom Piérre Pérignon, a French monk, who is credited with the discovery of champagne making. Although it is widely suspected that he was not the inventor of sparkling champagne, he did come up with many new and important winemaking techniques, such as blending the grapes BEFORE the pressing, contrary to popular practise.

Virtu Nokia Phone



Five years ago mobile phones were the latest rage. Today they are a commodity. But there still are ways to stand out from the crowd: Either by refusing to own a phone altogether, or by spending €3500 Euro for a Vertu.

Anyone Know a better URL for this phone?

Private Jet Fractional Ownership


Fractional Ownership is becoming a very popular method of owning expensive occasional use items . These items can be things such as aircraft, luxury yachts, holiday homes. The management of these items is normally done through a management company, and you buy shares in the item.

One of the most luxurious of these items is a Private Jet. Capable of travelling at up to 500 mph, these jets are essential for the businessman who travels the globe. Needless to say, fuel and insurance/permissions are a huge portion of the price of one of these jets, needless to say profit, safety, and wages of all the staff involved. They are however, luxurious inside, and cater for all businessmen.

An interesting point is that the kerosene used in the jet turbine engines is actually cheaper than Chanel No. 5 perfume, and Ink jet Refill Ink. So, things could be worse.

A truly beautiful luxury yacht...



This yacht is the Jeanneau 49 DS. With a wide deck, luxurious cabin, and distinctive red sails, it is not the sort of thing you could hire for the day. These yachts are extremely desirable and are great if you have money, lots of it, and want to show it too!

Luxury yachts can cost tens of millions of pounds, and are sometimes over 100 metres long, looking more like ships!
