Owned by Formula 1 racing mogul, Flavio Briatore, Billionaire Couture represents another extremely high end menswear collection to the stars. A favorite of Paul McCartney, David Beckham and Sean “Diddy” Combs, the brand now boasts another piece the common man can consider mind boggling. Known as “the worlds most expensive umbrella”, this special ordered crocodile piece rings in at a staggering $50,000 although with the unveiling of Claptons $100k guitar case the other day, this is just chump change right?

    That is utterly insane. I am genuinely curious if the people who buy this are actually going to use it. Is it functional?… or some form or trophy/art just stuck in the corner of your house…? It makes me a little sad to read that Paul McCartney is a fan of that trashy stuff also…

    Ridiculous that five stack gold coins and fifty stack umbrellas are being released in the middle of the biggest recession since the 20s. I guess the mega-rich can insulate themselves from all forms of reality. SMH.
