Stuart Hughes doesn’t just slap diamonds on things. He calls himself a “bespoke luxury designer.” His previous hits? A diamond-studded Nintendo Wii and a gold-plated chess set.
Most Expensive Phone in the World in 2026
He even made a $160,000 iPhone case for a Saudi prince. The prince paid in cash. In a suitcase.
The Falcon Supernova took Hughes nine months to build. He had to source the pink diamond from a private collector in Switzerland. The process involved more paperwork than a royal wedding.
Who Actually Buys This?
You don’t buy this phone for yourself. You buy it for a statement. Maybe you’re a Russian oligarch with a yacht named “Humble Brag.”
Or you’re an oil baron who wants to show off at brunch. “Oh, this old thing? It’s just my folding house.”
The buyer list is anonymous, thank goodness. But rumor has it a Chinese billionaire bought the first one. He supposedly paid in Bitcoin. (Now that’s a trust fall.)
