Huvafen Fushi is a glamorous, luxurious resort in the Maldives that is ready to pamper you so what are you waiting for?

This may be a luxury resort but it encourages you to relax. It’s starts at reception where the floor is covered in sand!

There are 43 bungalows with all the latest gadgets such as the  Bose sound systems, iPod docking stations and even an in-room espresso machine.

What you see pictured is the Lime Spa that has two underwater treatment rooms. The rooms reflect the spa’s philosophy, that ‘water is the equilibrium and elixir of life.‘

Can’t you just imagine yourself in that room being pampered head to toe coming out feeling rejuvenated and luxuriated! Is that even a word. Hmmm…

Treatments you can get include lemon myrtle desert salt exfoliations; mud wraps; massages and facials. If you can’t get an underwater treatment room like the one pictured above then book into the rooms with glass-bottomed floors, you are spoiled for choice no matter what you choose.

There is also a yoga pavilion, over water fully equipped gymnasium and an outdoor saltwater flotation pool.

Spoiled, spoiled, spoiled. But you deserve it.

This beauty is an MV Agusta F4 RR 3121078 to be precise. It has already been labelled one of the world’s most beautiful bikes.

The bike is covered in 24 Carat Gold leaf that is applied by artisans that Agusta describes as a flake effect.

The 24 carat gold bike was developed in collaboration with Autum which is a Venice based company that deals with the precious metal process.

Enough of the small talk lets get down to business. What can this bike do? It goes from 0-100km/h in about 2.5 seconds. The top speed is 312 km/h – officially!

There is no price with the gold leaf included but without the gold it will cost you a cool $34,400.

The BRW Rich List has been released with quite a few surprises.

Firstly the great news. The number of billionaires has rise from 30 – 38. The resources boom is helping make people a mint!

One of those people to prosper from this boom is Alan Bond. Yes you heard right Alan Bond. He is back. When you have the skills to earn money no matter how many times you go broke you can always build it back up again.

Bond came in at no 157 – but wait- his net worth is estimated at $265 million. Nothing to sneeze at I assure you.

Another surprise is that for the first time in 20 years a Packer hasn’t been at the top of the list. James Packer came in third – but wait once again – net worth is $6.1 billion. It was down from $7.25 billion 12 months ago.

The richest person on the list is Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest with a net worth of $10 billion. His fortune has come from mining with his wealth almost tripling in the last 12 months.

Just give him time. Give them all time. That includes you…

A Lucien Freud painting scoops the world record for the highest price paid for a work by a living artist.

Benefits Supervisor Sleeping went for a whopping $33.6 million at Christie’s in New York, shattering the previous record by $10 million set last November.

Sue Tilley, a government worker in the UK, finds herself in the spotlight after her Lucien Freud portrait went on the market and sold for such an astonishing price.

Tilley first sat for the renowned British artist Lucien Freud more than 10 years ago and was paid just 20 pounds (UK sterling) per sitting.

In 2007 Australia imported $135.3 million worth of Swiss watches alone.

Brands that were popular came from old European names such as Jaeger-LeCoultre, Patek Philippe, Breguet and Rolex.

Then we have the tradional brands such as Audemars Piguet, Blancpain, Breitling, Cartier, Girard-Perregaux, IWC and Vacheron Constantin.

The newer must have items were also a big hit such as Panerai, Lacroix and Hublot.

We can’t forget the fashionistas who bought up Louis Vuittion and Chanel.

Ever paid $180 for a burger take-away?

Well Londoners will soon be able to buy the most expensive take-out burger.

The burger will contain the highest quality Kobe beef that comes from Japan. It will also be garnished with foie gras – that is a pate which is made from goose liver just in case you didn’t know.

You will still be able to get you salty chips and drink to guzzle it all down but I think if I paid that much for a burger I would eat it a bit more elegantly.

If you find yourself in Chelsea or Kensington next month seek out the burger and let us know how you go.
