Most Expensive Bottled Water
Written by: tom Filed Under: Fashion, Food on March 16th, 2010by Hunter Davis and Jeremy Harris
Bottled water is big business–I mean, really big. In less than ten years, bottled water consumption has doubled, with prices about 100 times that of tap water. Whether you think bottled water is healthier or it tastes better, or even if you happily drink tap water, it’s clear that bottled water is here to stay.
Bling h2o – $40+ per 750 ml bottle
Hollywood writer-producer Kevin G. Boyd tapped into the bottled water market with an image approach. His water, Bling h2o, has been spotted in the hands of numerous celebrities and even at awards ceremonies like the Emmy’s, Grammy’s, and the MTV Video Music Awards.
The water is bottled in Dandridge, Tennessee, probably the least note-able quality of the most expensive bottled water. Boyd’s approach to the bottled water market is as extreme as the limited edition bottles themselves. They come frosted, corked, and boasting hand-applied Swarovski crystal. Bling H20 boasts that it has won the gold medal at the Berkely Springs International Water Tasting Festival with its nine-step purification process. If you are a water elitist, be prepared to spend $40-60 for a 750ml bottle. If you are buying your expensive bottled water at a club, be prepared to spend more.
Hawaiian deep seawater – $33.50 per 2 oz bottle
This seawater is so lucrative that the Hawaiian government is now allowing bottlers to use a state-certified logo for their deep seawater for a nominal fee. Hawaii Deep Marine Inc.’s Kona Nigari water, for instance, sells for $33.50 per 2 oz bottle. It’s extracted from a depth of 915 feet, over 700 feet more than is necessary for the water to be considered deep seawater.
Acqua di Cristallo Tributo a Modigliani – $60,000 for a 1.25 ml bottle
The world’s most expensive bottle of water is truly unique. Designed by Fernando Altamirano of Tequila Ley, who holds the records for the world’s most expensive tequila and cognac bottles, the 24k gold-coated bottle is based on the work of late Italian painter and sculptor Amedeo Clemente Modigliani. It holds 1.25 ml of blended spring water from France and the Fiji Islands, as well as glacier water from Iceland.
The world’s most expensive bottled water went up for auction on March 4th, 2010. Proceeds from the auction went to the Planet Foundation.
Altamirano also produced a similar “dummy” bottle of gold, silver and platinum festooned with 6,000 diamonds. It was valued at $3.3 million.

I drink that everyday okay………
Though this water has quite the price tag, I do not think it even compares to the world’s rarest, purest and most expensive water GLACE Iceberg Water. Bling is found out is bottle in Tennessee!!?!?! You’re only paying for the pretty bottle and after you drink the water you are left with an empty expensive bottle of nothing.
celebrity types are amazingly STUPID. People are starving and dying of thrist on a daily basis and some idiot is selling BLING H20!!!
I think the charity water is a good idea. but come on, you are going to spend $480 on a stupid water case? please man! just because it’s for a worthy cause doesn’t mean we have to spend money on stupid waters!
OMG!!! I bet it’s probably the same darn water that I buy at a grocery store!!!
Surely, the absurdity of excess this website promulgates must be an overall reflection of the sad state and degenerate mentality of our society. Privatizing water and selling it for profit at any price is morally wrong. Bottled water is yet, another, greed fueled capitalist derived scheme that will certainly only culminate in further increases in human suffering and even more societal dysfunction. Blame the rich among us for they are a cancerous disease inflicted upon our society by its own stupidity. The wealthy fighting over and feeding in excess, on the rotting corpse of the recently deceased American Dream, in selfish attempt to only further fatten their already flabby gullets. The corporations and politicians own America and will continue to engorge themselves on its bloody flesh, until nothing but chalk dry bones and matted pieces of hair remain for you and me……..
Bottled water CAN be a scam, but is not necessarily so. I’m guessing your knowledge of water particle content is probably not half as vast as your abuse of social commentary.

Genius! Why didn’t I think of that? If people and companies are willing to pay that sort of price… then why not? After all, it’s their money and people have choices right? Great market segmentation!!

hmmm…. well, it is an individual’s choice if they want to spend that much money on water. But then, it would be a good idea if companies would donate some of the money they get for selling the water to charities.
