10,000$ Magazine in Dubai!

Well, more craziness in Dubai, a special edition of Kohl, a magazine about lifestyle and women, will be auctioned for 10,000 $, the magazine covered in 91 grams of gold and encrusted with 622 diamonds. This project was done by Damas, and of course ITP, publishers of the magazine. The auction aims to raise money for the Rashid Pediatric Therapy Centre.

I always though that those who buy such things are crazy, I mean what would you do with a magazine covered in gold and diamonds? Will you build a gallery inside your house to show this piece of art to your guests?
