You may be tempted to look at all of your gadgets as garbage after you have clicked through all of these good as gold gadgets. Jewelry and tech companies have recently begun gold-plating all types of gadgets in order to appeal to the growing number of uber-rich geeks.
Each of these good as gold gadgets costs a pretty penny, with $600 buying you an 8MB flash drive made out of 18k gold. The biggest of ballers will definitely want to check out the gold-plated cellphones and accessories featured here. I don't want to give the price of every gadget away, but I will say that $20,000 for a gold phone case is considered cheap. Better start saving now.
