Someone needs to punch this guy in the face. 3 million better ways to spend that kind of money. Hope he drops it in the toilet.

iam austrlia and i hope he goes to a busy shopping centre with it and some one picks his pockets if he had that much money to throw around he could have donated to the cancer research centre.

if i had 3 million to spend i'd probably buy 6houses and rent them out for $400 a week each.plus a sports car and gifts for my family.I own a nokia 6070 which was given to me and the only think i use it for is texting and talking to people.I dont even believe in the need for an expensive mobile phone so theres no way i'd spent 3million on a phone even if i had that kind of money.

Wow! $3 million for a phone that is ten months out of date, and was never a good phone to begin with.

Then again, I bet it does not overheat as bad with all that gold to disipate the heat.

I wonder if he has commisioned a Platinum Droid yet...

Look at me everyone I have a $3M iphone,

Ah I dropped it and It's useless.

What an idiot

Ill take it after he drops it and we will see how useless it is

If 3M is like 300 bucks to you you are not rich......

Is it just me or does the guy in the pic look like Mike Myers in costume?

This a a real uber rich faggot's toy if ever I saw one.

I don't think being a "faggot" has anything to do with how rich tossers decide to squander their wealth.

nasty term.. generally used by inbred rednecks ;)

It is. It's him as Goldmember from the 3rd Austin Powers movie. "Can I paint his yoohoo gold?"

I'd rather by a Bugatti Veyron Convertible for 2.2 million, then use the rest to buy like 70 Toyota's or something

further argument for the mass culling of the mega wealthy minority...even those who do give to charity offer only a pathetic fraction of their overall wealth and expect to be lauded as a saint for doing so...hollywood stars especially.

IF you think that the guy from the picture looks like a homosexual, you should know that is an actor playing a part that was intended to seem "fabulously gay"...this is not the person who bought the phone...they just used that picture because he looks like a gold-crazy billionaire. The article does not say who bought the phone. Stuart Hughes is a company, specializing in making terrible phones into terribly overpriced phones. Stuart Hughes the person also has a business buying $10,000 pants and adding $10,000 zippers and buttons, then selling them for $30,000.

This guy could have easily upgraded bunches of regular Iphones and resold them to make more money than just throw away 3 million. He's a doucher.

if a celebrity gives $100000 to charity it doesnt matter whether they have $1million or $100million.they still took $100000 and gave it away why shoudn't they be hailed as a saint.Most normal people dont give that much in a lifetime and they spend more than that in their lifetime.

Umm he's a gold mining magnate... have you seens the size of some of the mines over here in Australia? He probably make 3m in a day.

I wonder if the guy who bought this is that guy who bought the Gold Coast soccer team? Clive Palmer I think his name was.

[In Sheldon Cooper tone]Bazinga.

I guess after he is done with it he could sell the diamonds and melt the gold down. So its not a huge waste of money but more of a silly place to invest some cash.

if a celebrity gives $100000 to charity it doesnt matter whether they have $1million or $100million.they still took $100000 and gave it away why shoudn't they be hailed as a saint.Most normal people dont give that much in a lifetime and they spend more than that in their lifetime.

Most normal people as you say, might spend that much in a lifetime but that would be spent on the general cost of living eg rent, food, education etc and many of those people still give what they can to charity, some even more than they can comfortably afford. These celebrities dont. They could give so much more and dont...still think they ought to be considered saintly? What about Angelina Jolie, a perfect example here...the woman could afford to help out an entire african nation with her wealth rather than just buying a baby and pretending she did so to give the child a better life...instead of buying a child she could have built an orphanage or schools whatever and improved the lives of many...maybe she already has but who gives a shit. Her bank balance would still be ridiculously high, more than anyone would ever need without leading a life of gross extravagence so why shouldnt these people be expected to forfeit part of that income which, in one way or another we all provide, to assist in the overcoming of certain troubles plagueing humanity...the point is she could do much more and chooses not to...what is so f**king good about that?
Celebrities spray a drop of piss into an ocean of problems then say look at me everybody Im making waves not ripples...

Ok, two things. One, celebrities' money is just that; theirs. So they don't have to give a dime if they don't want. Moving to point two however, just because they throw a small percentage of their wealth towards charity doesn't mean they should be hailed for it. Every day people drop off stuff at Goodwill, drop a buck or two off in those Salvation Army cans, etc. These people aren't hailed. It's charity, not publicity. Although, that's what it's been made into. Back to the other side though, it is their wealth and they can do with it what they please. This 'spread the wealth' crap needs to stop. When you work for your money, however easy it may have been for you to, it's your money. Nobody is entitled to your money just because you have more. But that doesn't mean you don't have a moral obligation to do something when you have quite so much disposable wealth.
So really, if this guy wants to throw money at what is mostly considered pointless, that's his deal. And for that matter, the article doesn't name who it was so for all you know they already gave $30 million to various charity works. But somehow I doubt that...

Agreed...if someone wants to blow $3million on a cell phone, more power to them. He probably gave a few people jobs by doing so. Yeah, it is a waist of money, but at least the money didn't go to some bank account, where it would do nothing for anybody...it went into the market, and by the time all was said and done, there were a lot of companies who made money from this sale. It would be great if this guy was spending his money on building hospitals and schools in third world countries (and he would probably be a happier person)...but it would be terrible if he was forced to do so.

Rich = More money than you have
Wealth = enough money to live in their chosen lifestyle and to actually earn money by investing.

If a person who has "Wealth" gives it away, then they no longer have "wealth".

While I agree that the idea of a $3mil Iphone is stupid, it's hardly a "waste of money".
Neither the Gold, nor the diamonds are likely to depreciate and so in 10 years when the Iphone no longer even works it will most likely be worth many times what he paid for it.
How is that a waste of money?
