Russia`s Sberbank to issue credit card made entirely of gold, diamonds and pearls

Russia`s Sberbank in Kazakhstan has announced plans to issue an exclusive new credit card—which the bank claims to be the world`s first bank card to be made entirely of gold, diamonds and pearls.

Called `Visa Infinite Exclusive`, this limited edition card will be made with “pure gold, 26 diamonds and inlaid mother of pearl”. It was reported that it will cost US$100,000 to obtain the card—with $65,000 going into minting the card, and the balance will remain in the user`s accounts.

With its hefty price tag, cardholders can look forward to top tier benefits and privileges—such as life and health insurance worth over $250,000, lounge access at airports, concierge services, discounts at hotels and restaurants, car hires and more.

The bank will also provide new cardholders with a free iPhone 5 and a Montblanc card case.
With this `gold card`, maybe you can finally afford those gold-plated Nike shoes.
