A LUXURY baby cot has hit the shelves with a price tag just shy of 10 MILLION POUNDS. Dubbed the most expensive cot in the world, the 24 carat gold design is priced at a staggering £9,960,000. The solid gold crib, named the Dodo Bassinet, takes six months to build. The magnificent ‘crib of golden dreams' was created by Ximo Talamantes, designer and CEO of Suommo. The company, which manufactures luxury furniture for babies and children, was established in 2005, after Ximo became a father.
