If you thought, the iPhone X is expensive then you may be in for a shock. There are plenty of phones out there which have insane price tags. Most of these devices may not be particularly fast or may not feature an out of the world camera. But, these phones are loaded with precious elements like Gold, Sapphire, Diamonds, and more. All this makes these phones, more of a novelty than anything else. So, without further ado, here are the top most ridiculously expensive phones for the filthy rich.
