Guinness World Records certified the sale of the Most Expensive Cell Phone in the world - 'Le Million' Piece Unique which was bought by a Russian businessman for his wife for 1 million Euros ($1.2 million) in September 2006.Created by Goldvish SA, a Geneva based luxury communication goods company, the cell phone is made of 18-carat white gold, mounted with 120-carats of VVS-1 graded diamonds. It was designed by Emmanuel Gueit and made as an addition to the 'Illusion collection'. 'Le Million' Piece Unique is a limited edition item and is only available on special request.
Today, there were many announcements on the web stating,"GoldVish the "Le Million," has just been declared by The Guinness World Records as the most expensive cell phone in the world! "
We have no idea how the rumor started and can't locate any news releases for the source. In September 2006, $1.2 million was the most expensive phone and probably still is. An article ran in May 2007 in Phones Review that stated it was the most costliest in the world.
There was a Guinness TV show on recently, where the news may have resurfaced to public consciousness. With the deflation of the US dollar it may be worth even more or we wonder if it were sold used, if would be worth less.
