In a world where child soldiers are forced to fight for fear of their family's safety, women are refused the same education as their male counterparts, and disease runs rampant around the globe for a lack of funding to provide the most basis of vaccinations, it is a great comfort to know that an elite few are able to look past the all the chaos and keep it real real for the rest of us. Boatloads of dirty, filthy money, you see, should never be spent in an effort to make the world a better place. Instead, those with millions or billions burning a hole in their haberdasher-sewn velveteen pockets should opt to blow their dough on more pressing matters than life-changing charity. You know, like a diamond-encrusted iPhone 4.

Fortunately, Liverpool-born Stuart Hughes has answered the call of the planet's cash-burdened. Hughes, who earlier this year gave us the iPad Supreme Edition (no, it doesn't come with fries,) has upped his lucre-ridden game and is now offering what his website purports to be the world's most expensive phone: The iPhone 4 Diamond Rose. With a £5,000,000 price tag, it's hard not to take the statement about the phone's cost at face value.

The encrusted with approximately over 500 diamonds, boasting a rose gold case and platinum accents, the iPhone 4 Diamond Rose is the just the thing for the man who has anything... except for a brain or an ounce of humanity.
