It is the iPhone 5 Black Diamond which costs an estimated $13 million. The phone is made of solid gold and has more than 650 diamonds including a 26-carat black diamond.

Neymar’s transfer money is getting you 20 of the most expensive smartphone.

An impeccable gaming experience on the moon

Samsung’s 201-inch 4K TV costs $655, 000. Game consoles don’t cost much. Just book a trip for two to the moon and play some EA Sports FIFA there. No one’s gonna beat that for a really long time.

But hey, you’re no superstar and not getting Neymar’s kind of transfer money anytime soon.

Even if you did, things will probably escalate quickly. You tech startup, remember?
