Billionaire Couture Crocodile Skin Umbrella
by Staff, November 26, 2008

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.
what could anyone say to u???? its like ” listen hater, my umbrella costs more than your going to make in the next three years…pardon me if I don’t understand the language of people with small money…”
i think its more about bragfunction than functionfunction
fucking retarded, why is shit like this even thought of
First i thought it was silly, five secs later I WANT ONE!!!!
I would love to see one flip backwards in a windy storm.
F*cking useless… Oh but wait its Crocodile, it must stop the rain better a regular umbrella. :/
