I wonder what's going through the minds of the people at Plantronics as they employed a descendant of King Midas who somehow retained his famous ancestor's ability to turn things into gold, touching a new line of Plantronics Bluetooth headsets known as the Discovery 925 Jewel. This cell phone accessory is worth a stunning £50,000, and will feature 18k gold, 40 diamonds and 31 natural pearls to adorn it. No doubt the man on Main Street is unable to afford it, while fat cats on Wall Street are more interested in keeping their jobs instead of having the latest bling Bluetooth headset to worry about. Only royalty and sheikhs need apply, I guess.
