I think this has to be the most extravagant bathtub I've ever heard of!
The huge tub ... is carved from a single enormous block of the purest white rock crystal, quarried in the Amazon region of Brazil. The block was discovered in 2006 when Paolo Baldi, father of the company's current CEO Luca Baldi, learned of the existence of this ten-ton block of flawless crystal and had it extracted and transported to Italy intact.
This incredible bathtub is the second to be made from the immense block. Each is unique, though both were sculpted with diamond cuts and left partially rough to expose the natural beauty of the crystal.
If you are thinking of snapping up this incredible tub, your pockets may have to be as deep as the quarries it is excavated from as it comes in at £530,000 [currently about US $805,000].
If your tastes (and your bank balance) run to that sort of thing, it's on show at Harrods in London until the end of July. It can apparently seat three people at once. Even so . . . eight hundred and five thousand dollars??? For a bathtub??? For that price, I'd want a lifetime supply of hot and cold running bath attendants as well!

$800K?? That, my friend, is a soaking!

Dude - there was a story on Fox News yesterday about a place in Lost Wages that charged half of that for one night's stay
ReplyDeleteAs my wife was just saying, "people with that kind of money just don't know what to spend it on". Stay someplace for $1000/night (can it really suck that bad?) and get the tub. The tub is an heirloom that will last many lifetimes, but the $400,000 room is a memory by next weekend.
RobertaX, eat your heart out!

Sweety, if you could afford the tub in the first place, you could afford the hot & cold running bathing attendants to go with it! At a reasonable wage, even!
ReplyDeleteAt that price, you can keep the cold bath attendants - I only want the hot ones.
