There’s one thing common about all the historical fraudsters, they love their family more than any creature on this planet. This is the reason why Kirk Wright (hedge fund fraudster) bought his wife this pink-festooned Lamborghini (along with a $55,000 engagement ring). This $200,000 Lamborghini Gallardo with a custom-made rhinestone-bedazzled logo is a subtle three inches wider than the original, has a pink Alcantara interior and custom-painted Asanti wheels and was eventually purchased from the police impound by EuroMotorSport in Ft. Lauderdale. However, the import shop is currently in the process of reselling the stunner in order to donate a portion of proceeds to the victims of fraud.

As the virtual worlds are becoming mainstream, it would come as a little surprise that people have started buying virtual properties with real money, however, you are in for a big surprise as the world’s most expensive virtual island goes on sale for a whopping $26,500. The amount is paid by David Storey, a 27-year-old graduate student living in Sydney, Australia, who got his name listed in the Guinness World Records for “Most valuable object that is virtual.” It is estimated that the virtual goods market in the U.S. would reach $1.6 billion this year, up from $1 billion in 2009, but that’s just a tip of the iceberg if stakes from countries like China and Korea are taken into account. Calling Mr. Storey’s example as extreme would make me sound a little old fashioned, but it certainly is extreme.

Long-range cruisers have taken over as the most popular type of vessels being sold today, but with their monstrous and attractive style comes a whopping price tag as well. However, SV Design’s new creation is a yacht concept different from her relatives, mainly oriented toward savings. With its simple geometric shapes for hull, superstructure and windows, SV Design has managed to put up a large and luxurious yacht with a very reasonable building cost. Dubbed Private, this yacht’s organized layout starting from a wide helipad and a wheelhouse dominating the whole ship, gives a very neat theme to the vessel. The top deck is exclusively dedicated to the owner’s suite, with a big accommodation area opening to a sheltered sun deck and jacuzzi through wide windows is among the industry’s best practices and definitely offers a big attraction to own one. The main deck is receiving lounges and VIP cabins while the lower aft deck is made of a large lazarette fitted with wide doors opening on three directions, to become a fully equipped bath area. However, the lower forward deck is totally dedicated to technical facilities and crewmembers. At a maximum cruising speed of 18 knots, Private’s power consumption is reduced to its minimum with the use of the latest technology for air conditioning equipment and insulation, solar power for sanitary hot water production, and a combination of diesel electric generators used for both propulsion plant and/or electric domestic needs.
