1. Acqua di Cristallo
The Acqua di Cristallo "Tributo a Modigliani" is a bottle of designer water by Paolo di Verachi. The hand-made bottle, encrusted in 24 karat gold, has artwork based on Italian artist Amedeo Clemente Modigliani. The water is a mix of Fiji and France's spring waters, and actual glacier water from Iceland, with 5mg of 23-karat gold dust. Priced at $60,000, even its replicas cost $275-3600. Thomas Muller said, "We will never know the worth of water till the well is dry." But, quite clearly, these highly expensive bottled designer waters have pretty much preponed the point of reaching such an epiphany about the value of water. Or, perhaps, with so many people wasting water, the liquid life in its most purified form is gradually on its way to explain the true value of Muller's words. But, then again, on second thought, it's probably just businessmen robbing us.
