he new CliC Gold Sport sunglasses ($75,000) "bring the jewelry and optical worlds together." Made by the same company that created the world's most expensive reading glasses, each 18-karat, solid-gold pair requires roughly 40 hours of handwork by a master jeweler. A magnetic front-connection system ensures the glasses will never slip off, and the lenses are treated with a deluxe anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating. Targeting "the most influential people in the world," the company will make only 100 pairs. Source: BornRich.com
