In the market for an 18-karat gold iPhone? How about a diamond-encrusted cell with a screen made of sapphire crystals? No? That's probably because you're not Lacey Tisch. The daughter of Loews co-chairman (and billionaire) Andrew Tisch, Lacey took time to expound on the subject for the Sun today, suggesting that consumers are sick of cell phones that simply function. What they really want are luxury models from Prada, Giorgio Armani, and Bang & Olufsen: "What else are you going to put in your $15,000 Birkin bag? Not the latest free phone from Verizon, that's for sure."

Tisch provides a long list of reasons why spending thousands on a phone is a wise investment, although some of the features that she's expecting from these pricey phones aren't all that extraordinary. Weather reports? GPS? The ability to call and make flight arrangements? If Lacey spends $8,000 on features that come standard on pretty much every phone on the market, we're guessing her dad—who has a reputation as a savvy investor and who is probably still paying Lacey's bills—might have a thing or two to say about that.
