When Victoria Beckham was first seen with her gold iPhone 4, reports suggested the device was a 24-carat iPhone from Stuart Hughes, apparently worth over £20,000, although this rumor was quickly denied by Beckham’s PR team and the said price was meant to be under £1,000 for a standard gold iPhone. These are not the choices of frugal celebrities.

If you think that iPhone is stupidly expensive than you should see another, which costs around £5 million and includes 100 carats of diamonds. You can read more about that device here, although cheaper versions have been bought by a number of showbiz stars including Stefano Gabbana and Karl Lagerfeld. Other high priced gadgets that are targeting the rich and famous include a 24ct Gold iPod Touch 4G for over £200,000 (we wonder if an iPod touch 5G will be made), a white iPhone 4 with diamonds for $20,000, a $3 million iPhone 3GS, and even a Nintendo Wii in solid 22ct gold for more then $400,000.

Anyone that has studied frugality will understand it means you aim to acquire different products, including gadgets, in a manner that is more restrained and this is especially the case when it comes to prices. This may be easier for those of us with normal incomes, but how hard must it be for frugal celebrities?

You may be surprised to find out that there are a few of them in the celebrity world, and this includes Jay Leno, Queen Elizabeth, Mick Jagger, Tiger Woods and Teri Hatcher, according to this article.

If you had the money of these celebrities, would you spend it sparingly?

This has helped to bolster their treasury and is now the highest price ever achieved for a rough diamond. We now wonder if this gem will but cut and put into future iPhone cases like this Crimson Gold ‘SUPREME’ Edition iPhone Wallet?

According to Israeli Diamond, the Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Company based in Hong Kong managed to outbid other companies who wanted to get their hands on this unique precious stone, but could not or did not want to match Fook’s offer. There are those who wonder how such a stone could fetch so much, but you only have to look at its size, color and clarity to understand why.

The 507-carat Cullinan Heritage diamond is the nineteenth largest gem diamond found, so it makes you wonder how many more there are in the rocks at the mines in South Africa. The money that Petra raised will help to increase the growth of the core assets for the mining company.
