Water Games Technologies’ Red Diamond bathtub – $47,200

World's most expensive bathtub - Red Diamond
(via bornrich.org)

Designed by Aldo Puglielli, this bright red tub is big enough for two people. That’s just the beginning of the tub’s laundry list of features, however. It also includes a console framed in gold—42 grams of 18-karat gold, to be exact—and Swarovski crystals. The console controls two waterproof HDTVs that remain hidden when not in use. Among the tub’s other features are a massage function, multicolored lighting, a hand-held shower unit, automatic disinfection and even a Swarovski-coated Champagne holder. At $47,200, however, the Red Diamond bathtub is not for the faint of wallet.

Also designed by Luca Bojola, the first of these three-person bathtubs was created in 2008 and shown at that year’s Salone de Mobile.

    Why doesn’t anyone make a bathtub with a lit book holder that has a button and will turn pages for you, that comes with jets and makes really hot water and has a seat built in with a waterproof pillow for your head (in perfect view of the book of course)? I would buy that!

    Neither of these featured tubs comes even CLOSE to the one Harrods have for sale in London. Hewn from one gigantic rock crystal, it weighs in at over ten metric tons, is ice colured, and costs a whopping £200,000. And that doesn’t even buy you the fittings, just the tub and the instalation. Now THAT’S expensive!

    Being 6’3, I kind of disagree with that statement!

  4. I would like to know from where I can buy the Archeo Copper Bathtub?

  5. This is what is wrong with our country. Starving children, abused children, environmental disasters constantly, rivers being abused, land and trees and some jackass is buying tubs for 70,000$. They're taking baths…that cost 50,000$. WE deserve whatever happens to our world. If your one of those people that spend like this ask yourself one question 'are you really so special that you need to have these things when there are children in the world starving? Do you really work so hard that you deserve shampoo that cost 1,000 a bottle?' if the answer is yes then you need to take a good look at your morals and principles becasue you lost them somewhere along the road.

    1. Linda, Who do you think makes the products all the evil rich people buy? Who do you think employ all us "less fortunate"? You really need to learn how to connect the economic dots and maybe look past your one dimensional stupid opinions. My Company right now is absolutely dead slow and the only thing keeping me working right now is those "evil" rich people buying those copper bath tubs up above. For the past 3 months I would have totally been bankrupt if it were not for those Kohler tubs. But I suppose I'm an evil rich person too considering I make almost $40,000 a year too. I mean gosh poor me had to get my Sheet Metal Journeyman card and go to school for 4 years AND I HAD TO PAY FOR IT I mean good grief me pay for my own education what is wrong with this nation!! Bush should of paid for my schooling AND bought me a car to go back and forth right??

    2. I’ve donated more money than you’ve probably made in your whole lifetime. I work in the slums of mumbai and Delhi every year.. I own a Ferrari, does that make me a bad person?

    3. Linda, I completely agree and it truly gives me a slight hope to see individuals like you put logic and compassion to use. This is art, anything more than that I find disgustlingly selfish.

  6. Linda, I could not have said it better! I enjoy looking at the most expensive items, but I think it's absolutely ridiculous that anyone would spend this much money on any kind of item. It is pathetic that just because people were born into rich families or family businesses that make millions of dollars they feel the need to spend the money like it's a burden to them to have so much! Instead of helping the starving children and all the other things you said, they buy crap that they will forget about just so they can look like they are above the rest of us! If I had that much money, I would, and I honestly mean this, go to Africa and all the other terrible places and give children food, places to stay, and so forth. I would build centers for kids in desperate need of help… I know they would always be full, but if your going to throw your money away, why not spend it for a good cause? I always think if I had millions of extra money that I didn't need, what would I do with it? And that's always on the top of my list. I think about family and friends and people who I know need help. I would give them a home and a car so they can live their lives happily like I believe most people deserve. In face most poor people work a million times harder than these stupid rich people that are wasting so much money on regular, every day items. It's so sad what our world has become. You are right, this world deserves what it gets. These people only "help" other countries and adopt foreign kids when everyone else is doing it (Example-Save Haiti).

  7. To be honest, They all look hideous. I'd rather get one from Argos.

  8. I have to agree with CyprusChickadee, why is it such comforts as a pillow to rest your head on have been overlooked? I ended up making my own once with a pillow and a plastic bag (no doubt there are commercial options) it was excellent.

    To those who complain about being self indulgent, consider expensive self indulgent things of the world, particularly buildings, then think how many of them have become cultural treasures or tourist attractions. I can think of two examples. The Palace of Versailles, it's very opulence one of the extravagance that enrages the French masses into revolt. Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, again a leader using tax money to build a richly decorated building that now enthrals tourists, bring money into the region and has inspired others, notably the Disney castle. If tourism and tourists enrage your sensibilities think of the families that are supported by the tourist dollar or the employment of artists that originally made these works.

    I'm not trying to justify self indulgent excess, just providing a counter argument to some of the virtues of these ventures. Additionally I'm just sick of these people who bring up the poor and starving elsewhere in the world particularly at meal time. If you feel so badly about such under privileged people, why don't you look around your own city and help out a homeless person? You don't need to go to africa to find people who are destitute.

  9. To Bella and Linda.. The reason someone would buy this is because they can. Because they want one, not need one.. You obviously have some serious insecurities about the wealthy. Let’s take Bill Gates for example, hes donated over 50% o his wealth. Yet, he owns a 150 million dollar house.. Does that make him a bad person? He must be evil because he doesn’t live in a lower-middle class neighborhood. How bout Paul Allen? He The largest yacht in the world, that he never uses! However, he still started a very successful foundation thats raised billions.. I could keep this lost going for days.. Those evil bad rich people are the ones “saving” all the less fortunate.. Without them almost all of the foundations out their wouldn’t even exist. I consider myself upper class. I’ve worked hard to get where I am. I don’t buy generic brand, I have multiply cars that I don’t need. Does that make me a bad person? I still go to India every year and do mission work, but jut because I like spend my money on things I don’t need necessarily must mean I’m evil. Get a reality check..

  10. None of these fit the decor of my bathroom.
