POSTED BY DAVID PEGG ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2012
If you won the lottery tomorrow…how would you spend the money? Buying fancy cars? Going on ridiculous vacations? Having $1 million worth of diamonds attached to your cellphone? As you read through this list keep in mind that every day an estimated 16,000 kids die of hunger. That amounts to 1 child every 5 seconds, and as ridiculous as some of the items on this list of the 25 most expensive things in the world are, it’s hard not to feel a profound sadness on behalf of humanity by the time you get to the end.
