The world’s most highly-priced phone costs £10,000,000 or around $15,000,000. That’s correct; you didn’t read it wrong £10,000,000…

The phone was customized by Liverpool based designer Stuart Hughes for a Chinese businessman who quite definitely has too much money. It is an I-phone 5 with over 600 diamonds and gold all over it. As well as this, the main diamond is a 26 carat diamond that the customer has had in his family for centuries. Quite why you would do this to a phone seems beyond me though. The I-phone 5 will be out of date in a few years and so he will have to go have one more one made I’m guessing…

Stuart’s site says this about the phone…

“This wonderful device took 9 weeks of detailed intricate work to re-create the unique chassis of the I phone 5 in solid gold all of which was began and completed by hand, including a flawless black single deep cut diamond weighing in at 26 cts, most unique to replace the home button also the chasis was inlaid with a circa of 600 white flawless diamonds with full gold dressing for the rear area with the logo in solid gold with 53 flawless diamonds. This masterpiece boasts a large circa of 135 grams of 24ct gold and of course sapphire glass set in the screen. The outcome was excellent even down to the precise polishing to reveal its most wonderful harmonious appearance. The handset was requested for Stuart by a Chinese business man who has had the black diamond for a while; this handset total cost is £10 million”
