If I were him, I would do the same. He made that money, he has the right to do whatever he wants with it. About the world, ask those politicians !!!

How ironic considering the amount of money it cost to purchase that bag could have fed an entire city in the Himalayas for a year.

I just read where they lost $10m in the credit crunch. It obviously didn’t make that much difference to them.
David may have forked out an obscene amount of money for a handbag (which I love!), but Hermes put the price on it.

You know That is THE most OBSCENE waste of money I have ever seen. And Im not one to judge someones right to spend their money how they choose. BUT I also am in the “Real World” where so many people are struggling to keep their homes and just keep it together period. Their totally out of control if you ask me.

Obscene! … Charities are suffering, but you had to have that bag so you can carry it ONCE.

There should be a point where their conscience says “yeah this is just way too much money for a fucking purse, we are total douchebags”. Just because they have that much money doesn’t mean they should give it all to the poor, but at the same time they should at least have a moral compass.

IMHO, he’s not only the hottest soccer player on Earth, but the hottest male in the Galaxy..Period!! I don’t see why a purse should cost so much, but they’ve both worked hard for their money so why should any of us judge?

Its their money…let them spend it how they see fit. With the vast amount of fortune they have I am sure it is the equivalent to a “regular” person buying a dvd.

David and Victoria have been this over the top since their disgustingly extravagant wedding– it’s sad that they don’t get how vulgar and just plain insensitive it is to flaunt their insane wealth in such a pathetic way. It’s a goddamned purse. A purse that costs more than a college education. Sick, sick, sick. And for them to do this when the global economy is in such a precarious state and people are so afraid of losing their jobs, their healthcare, their homes– does she think she’s friggin’ Marie Antoinette? And they wonder why some people cannot stand them. Nauseating.

If she did pay that much for that bag then it should have come with a bigger handle!

I think they were given it free to promote (and it’s worked).

Like somebody said Sticktoria & David are so out of touch with reality it’s frighting.

During these days of a global economic crisis, the worst in history and Posh is tacky enough to exhibit such ostentatious behavior. Really classy, Posh!

Ugh, and I felt bad about buying a purse for $75 off of ebay. That’s such a disgusting amount to spend on something so insignificant.

Yes, they did name Harlow after Jean Harlow, but it’s still not a flattering name. Winter Madden would sound better (that’s her middle name). If you were from the UK and knew what kind of place Harlow was, you would know what I mean!

Yeah, it’s a lot of money, but it’s just a drop in he bucket to them. And as somebody said, they’re helping to keep the economy afloat with their spending. Why should they donate money to shelters or whatever just because they have it? Why can’t they spend it on extravagances? I’m sure they do their bit for charity…a lot of celebs do without fanfare and bringing attention to themselves (hello Brangelina).
And I’m pretty sure that Nicole and Joel would have named their baby after the actress Jean Harlow and not some place in Britain that nobody knows where it is.

This goes to show how totally insecure these people really are and you’re right, they are out of touch with reality. What an absolute waste of money! David shouls have donated it to some homeless shelters or cancer charity. Fucking insane!
Harlow in Essex is a total dump, in case any of you have never heard of it. That’s why Joel Madden and Nicole Richie made a mistake naming their daughter something so unattractive.

I choose to believe that they’re just doing their part to keep the world economy afloat in these difficult times. Coming from a more humble background I have to say that if I laid that kind of money down on something it had better be able to fit at least 4 people comfortably.
