A lot of companies may want to take advantage of the late King of Pop, but J5 collection claims to be the only one that has ‘authentic’ MJ Thriller and Beat it jackets. What sets these jackets apart from the competition is that each of these comes with a certificate that proves them as authentic as well as being signed by Jackie, Tito, Marlon and Jermaine Jackson (all real brothers of Michael).

Sky High rentals (pun intended) in NYC are nothing to be shocked about. After all penthouses routinely go for obscene sums. But as far as obscenity goes a sum of $135,000 for a month is still enough to get you noticed on The Rich Times. The title has been claimed by an apartment at the Waldorf Towers in Manhattan making it the most expensive active rental listing in the city as of now (or is it the most expensive ever? If you know someone who pays more, do let us know!).

While diamonds of any size and sort earn you some extremely cool bragging rights, these rights are multiplied many fold when these stones have previously belonged to an Empress (Queen Catherine in this case). Sotheby’s is holding an auction which includes a diamond set from none other then the wife of Peter the Great of Russia. the set contains a necklace, brooch as well as earrings that date right back from the 19th century. As if that were not enough, the history lesson continues with this gorgeous set which is supposed to be a gift from the Ottoman Turk Sultan Abdul Hamid II to an Egyptian Princess (after the Russians gave them to the Turks following a war which they had lost). If all this sounds interesting, you could probably read up all about it over at Sotheby’s. However to summarise, the legend says that during the Prut campaign in 1711 when Russian troops were surrounded the future wife of Peter the Great saved her husband and the army giving her jewels to Sultan Ahmed III thus inducing him to sign a truce.

If you thought art was expensive, wait till you read about this photo. It sold for a cool $4.3 million from the auction masters – Christie’s. That means the previous price record of $3.89 million by Cindy Sherman for Orange or Untitled #96 as it was actually named as now stands broken.

As far as weddings go, this one certainly does take the cake. Alright, I admit – I could write better copy then this but in my favor I am getting hitched later this week and have had a hard time selecting the perfect wedding cake. Black Swan – for those who have never heard about it is a luxury brand from Holland. However as with every other luxury brand eager to have a slice of the vast Chinese pie whose nationals have just woken up to a deep love for everything lux, they have opened their first shop in Beijing.
