The Price of Being Rich

Have you ever thought to yourself “Hm, I wonder what a $1,500 place setting would look like.” Well, you are in luck, because I found it.

That is what a $1,500 place setting looks like. A PLACE SETTING. As in only those five pieces. If you want more than one person at dinner, you have to shell out $1,500 for each of those chumps too.

So that’s $1,500. Clearly the follow up question to that is “If that’s what $1,500 will get me, surely $6,200 will get me something magical and glorious. I wonder what that magical and glorious thing would be?!”

What was that? Did you guess CERAMIC LOBSTER? You my friend are CORRECT!

Yeah, my reaction to that one was “What ….. the …… fuuuuuuuuuu???”

I guess when you’re rich you have enough money to pay your friends not to laugh at your stupidly overpriced gold plates and ugly lobster bowl.

(I want to thank my friend Josh for pointing these awesome items out.)

Items like these make me want to be a socialist. Some people just have too much money.

My dishes (the white ones from the previous entry) cost me $1 each from the Christmas Tree Shoppe. I couldn’t pass up that bargain. (Sing it with me .. Don’t you just loooove a bargain?”)

I should really alert the above site to the fact that they could have 1,500 of those white plates. I guess they just don’t know where to shop.

On the lighter side, it makes my dream place setting from Tiffany (of which I can afford, oh, one dessert plate) seem positively cheap.

My favorite thing about that place setting is that those *insanely* ornate gold plates are paired with a plain white tea cup. Couldn’t they at least have put some gold leaf around the rim of it or something!?
Also, lobster sticks to magnet.

JEANNIE! LOBSTER DOES STICK TO MAGNET. Oh my god, I am dying. LOL.

I think that place setting is actually the medallion that Olmec from Legends of the Hidden Temple used to wear.
