The ultimate in backyard bling?

Is this a prime example of what's wrong with today's world?
Or no one should complain about how other people spend their money!

Grill Master



Introduced by BeefEater Barbecues, apparently because they can, they had the state of mind to hand-plate every square inch of this grill in 24-carat gold except for the cooking surface -- just in case someone actually wants to use a gold-plated barbecue. The value of such a grill? A mere approximate $164,000.Holy Cow!

Though no one would question BeefEater's claim that the grill is "the ultimate in backyard bling," perhaps you like your remarkably expensive barbecues a little more understated. Thankfully, there's the Outdoor Kitchen Center, also from BeefEater Barbecues. Maxing out at four burners and about $50,000, there will be no mistaking that a statement is being made, in addition to burgers.

Diamond's Are a Knife's Best Friend?



Enter the Brilliant Nesmuk kitchen knife, literally meeting both criteria. Priced around $43,700 from jewelry designer Quintin Nel and Hoffman/Pieper, you may want to invest in a trumpet player and James Earl Jones to appropriately introduce the knife whenever you open its case.

You would think a remarkably detailed blade of carbon steel, a sterling silver handle and eight diamonds could handle cutting through a beef patty just fine. Still feel like there's something lacking? Nesmuk isn't finished yet. Your knife also includes a corresponding diamond ring. Just be sure not to let your polyester kitchen gloves catch on the diamond.

If this all seems a bit much for you, Nesmuk also offers the Exklusiv Crystallized, which seems to have gotten its name from the 647 Swarovski crystals adorning its handle and running onto the sheath. A bargain for about $22,600, but make sure you don't get stuck with dish duty.

Nesmuk says their entire knife collection is handmade to ensure they're among the strongest and sharpest in the world, allowing for unparalleled precision cutting. They don't specifically mention that the knives are ideal for greasy backyard grilling, but they don't say they're not ideal, either.

Its a crazy crazy world.

Unreal Nan.  I don't think I would want either of those items...I'd rather have the cash.

I am way too cheap. Even if I had the money, there is no way I would blow it like that.  I cannot fathom people blowing money like that. We live in a world where children starve to death everyday.  So sad.

I think it's a little much. I'd take a good old charcoal Weber in the back yard any day!

I was feeling exactly the same way...

Sad is not not enough word to describe the world out there...so many wrongs and injustices done to too many children,women and the animals and with that amount of money, I can not help thinking how much it could save and help...
Someone I know who has a lot in materialistic way, once told me that  no one should ever criticize or judge how she spends her money which is true but ............

Oh, for crying out loud!  Conspicuous Consumption Run Amok!! 

I would never want to buy anything like those things you listed, but I sure would like to have enough money to actually consider it and then reject it! 

Did someone actually buy any of those items? And if yes, is one of them Puff Daddy?

Johnny....not sure if anyone has lost his head and bought one but I think Puff Daddy would prefer to have gold honey from the whips jumping out at him like "YO" 

Maybe it would be better suited for "Little Jon"
