We’ve seen some expensive video games. We’ve seen some pricey video game consoles, too. But we’re pretty confident that this one beats them all.
It’s the Nintendo Wii Supreme. It took six months to make, and is built from over 5.5 pounds of 22-carat gold. Its front buttons are inlaid with 78 0.25-carat flawless, conflict-free diamonds, making almost 20 carats in total. It’s the work of Liverpool, England craftsman Stuart Hughes, and it costs — are you sitting down? — 299,995.00 pounds, or just about $484,000.

Hughes also sells a gold and diamond-studded iPhone for almost 2 million pounds ($3.2m), a carbon-fiber and diamond-studded Nokia phone for 30,000 pounds ($48,000) and a snakeskin and diamond Blackberry Bold for a mere 5,000 pounds ($8,000). He’s been the subject of write-ups in Vogue, Salon, and Business People magazines.
Buy the Wii Supreme, and you’ll be joining a highly exclusive club. Only three are being produced, and the only other person we know of with a gold Wii is (deep breath) Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who was given one earlier this year by game publisher Take Two.
