The seven-star hotel Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi is home to the world’s most expensive Christmas tree ever.

The world's most expensive Christmas tree

The 13-meter artificial fir Christmas tree sparkles in the hotel’s gold-leafed rotunda and is decorated with silver and gold bows, ball-shaped ornaments and small white lights. The tree cost only $10,000 but it’s what’s dangling from the branches that make this beauty so pricey. Instead of traditional ornaments, the tree is decorated with 181 pieces of diamond, pearl, emerald necklaces, earrings, bracelets, watches, provided of Style Gallery, a local jeweler. Combined with its bejeweled accessories – including necklaces, earrings and other jewelry created from the gems – the tree prices out at a whopping $11 million.


The hotel is looking to get the tree recognized by the Guinness Book Of World Records as the world’s most expensively dressed Christmas tree.

“What we are trying to do is to give everybody who visits and everybody who is staying here the chance of to be part of something really special and unique,” Janet Abrahams said.

For Abu Dhabi’s Emirates Palace hotel, where royalty and billionaires come for cappuccinos topped with gold flakes, the tree almost seems part of the furniture. It will remain on display until the end of the year.

Yuto Miyazawa is a 10 year old Japanese child prodigy who has shaken rock and metal music lovers around the world.  He was born on February 21, 2000 in Tokyo, Japan and currently lives there with his parents. In August 2008, he was named “The Youngest Professional Guitarist” by Guinness Book of World Records.

Child prodigy Yuto Miyazawa

Yuto Miyazawa has been playing guitar since the very tender age of three. Although he has had a few guitar lessons, the bulk of his expertise comes from truly wanting to play…all the time. Commonly, if he is’nt in school, he has a guitar in his hands. That love of guitar is quickly making Yuto the internet’s latest sensation, as his videos rack up views on YouTube and Vimeo, and his name is scattered across hundreds of forums and blogs. Yuto’s influences are  apparent, as he is often seen playing his official Randy Rhoads edition polka-dot Gibson Flying V guitar, which dwarfs him. Along with Ozzy Osbourne and Randy Rhoads, Yuto is influenced by Eric Clapton, KISS and Metallica. His extraordinary talent started him on the road to fame in Japan a couple of years ago.  But it was his appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show  in May 2009 that catapulted him to international fame. He stunned the audience with his performance of Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train.” After the show, Ozzy Osbourne came on stage to give words of encouragement and awarded him a plaque framed in gold.

Since his discovery, Miyazawa has performed with numerous music legends over the past year including Ozzy Osbourne, G.E. Smith, Galactic, Les Paul and Deep Banana Blackout. He has appeared at Madison Square Garden, the famous B. B. King’s, Chris Noth and Steve Walter’s The Cutting Room, and Rodeo Bar in New York City. Yuto appeared on stage at Live BlizzCon 2009 with Ozzy Osbourne to play “Crazy Train” as the first encore performance.

In 2010, Yuto came back on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and played “ Paranoid.”

An amazing kid!
