Bling Tone

Forget diamond earrings. The must-have accessory for bling-friendly lobes is GoldVish's hand-crafted cell phone. With its lofty price written right into the name, Le Million features 120 carats of diamonds mounted on an 18k, solid gold phone. One full carat diamond opens a secret compartment just big enough to stash your gold pills in. GoldVish.com, $1.26 million

What do you get when a British designer, a Formula One racing team, IT engineers and yacht builders compare notes? Apparently, a futuristic orb akin to Darth Vader's sleeping quarters. The Oculas features a leather seat, Internet, video and a slamming sound system. Still, we're not quite sure what you're supposed to do with it, which makes The Oculas the ultimate in indiscriminate spending. TheOculas.com, $45,000

Something Old, Something Blue

Last year, in commemoration of what would've been founder Johnnie Walker's 200th birthday, the company released Blue Label 1805, a special-edition scotch for a whopping $27,000 a pop. The bad news is that only 200 bottles were sold worldwide. The good news is Halekulani managed to snatch one up. Big spenders, get your $325 shots while they last at Halekulani's La Mer restaurant. Halekulani, $175 for .75 ounces; $325 for 1.5 ounces
