The $50,000 Umbrella

This is just crazy. Here's the scoop from Justluxe:

Billionaire Couture, the Italian men's "extreme luxury" brand founded by Formula One mogul Flavio Briatore and designer Angelo Galasso, has come out with the world's most expensive umbrella. Made entirely of black top-grade crocodile skin treated for water resistance, the oversized, ultra-luxe accessory costs $50,000, available by special order from Billionaire Couture's new London flagship in Sloane Street, SW1. 

That's right, a $50,000 umbrella made of crocodile skin. Now, it's available only on special order, so I get that's it probably one of those things they don't think anyone will ever actually buy. So it's more than likely just a marketing ploy. If any press is good press, then let me help them out:

Anyone that would actually buy one of these needs beaten with it.
