What recession? $131k Softbank 823SH Tiffany phone sells out in 3 days

The world’s economy may be in crisis but that doesn’t stop the uber-rich to get new expensive toys. As a matter of fact, Softbank (OTCPK: SFTBF)’s newly unveiled 823SH Tiffany phone has been sold out within three days and the device costs a whooping 13 million yen, which is about $131k. To be fair, this is a limited edition phone so there were not that many of these available. Still, when you think about it — one would think with all those people losing jobs, even the super rich would restrain from buying the expensive bling gizmos. Nah, it’s just not worth it, I guess.
