8 Lavish Purchases Newly Minted Facebook Millionaires Should Make
by Adam EatrosWith the great Facebook executing the third-largest IPO in US history today, valuing the 8-year old company at ~$110 BILLION, we thought it would be timely to list a few items these newly minted millionaires should make pronto.
1. We all love our Apple products here in SF. But, everyone has the typical MacBook in the city. Why not have the ORIGINAL Apple-1 to show off to your friends? How much will this set you back you might ask? $219,249 - small change for big timers.
2. Hipsters need jeans, and they need jeans bad. Why not have the most expensive pair in the world? Only a cool $27,000.
3. Why not ride around San Francisco in the most expensive bike in the world? $144,500. Done and done.
4. Like photography? Well, we have you covered. This rare 1923 Leica, in WORKING condition we might add, will put you at the top of the game for 2.14 MILLION euros. Sure hope it has a USB connection for that price tag!
5. Talking on a normal iPhone is just not the same anymore. You know what's really cool? Talking on an $8 MILLION Stuart Hughes diamond encrusted iPhone 4. Ya, beat that my friend.
6. With all this new found money, why not start sleeping on a cloud? This is the most expensive mattress in the world dubbed, "The Vividus." It's made by Hastens and has a tiny $59,750 price tag.
7. We all love our music, but here in SF, music is everything. Why not show your respect to Bob Dylan and crew by purchasing one of the rarest albums around - Bob Dylan's "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" album (1963). A copy of this album, in mint condition and with the original track listing, will run $35,000.
8. Of course, a celebration is not a celebration without popping some bubbly. But in times like this, a little Dom or Cristal won't cut it. It's time to make it rain with this world-renowned champagne from the Shipwrecked 1907 Heidsieck. The cost? A very inexpensive $275,000. Ready....Set...Pop!!!
