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. Hollywood writer-producer Kevin G. Boyd has tapped into the bottled water market with an image approach. His water, Bling H20, the world’s most expensive bottled water, 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.

Bling H20 is just another example of how extremely wealthy individuals will shell out exorbitant amount of money for normal everyday products. Could you imagine paying that much for a bottle of water?

If you are looking for an excuse to buy expensive water, and enjoy helping a good cause, there is another expensive bottle of water that may be more your style. Charity Water is currently being sold for $480 a case with all of the proceeds funding freshwater well projects in Ethiopia, Uganda, Central African Republic and Malawi. One case of water will provide enough clean water for twenty-four people for fifteen years.

Deep seawater from Hawaii, however, is the most expensive bottled water in the world. The seawater is so lucrative, in fact, 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.

    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.

    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.
