Lil Wayne's Diamond Bonanza

What to get a Grammy award-winning rapper who has everything? How about a $1 million Chopard diamond watch? Oh, and a $200,000 black diamond chain for good measure.

No whiff of an economic crisis in these parts, thank you very much...

The watch was a special-order gift purchased by Brian "Birdman" Williams, who is chief executive of the 'aptly' named Cash Money Records, the label that includes Lil Wayne as one of its featured artists.

So I am admittedly a little late to this party (the news of this outrageous display of blingy wealth went down late last month), but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to share the best part of this story for those of you who missed the shenanigans:

Not only did the cash king get millions in diamond jewelry to bring in his 27^th year, he got a diamond-studded birthday cake to go with the flowing cases of Dom.

A diamond birthday cake? OK. Now I’ve heard everything.

What do you guys think of this crazy diamond display? Has the famous phrase, 'Let Them Eat Cake', taken on an entirely new meaning? Or if you got it? Flaunt it!
