World’s most expensive credit card

Think an Amex Black Card was fancy? Or the JP Morgan Reserve card? Think again. Meet Rosan Diamond – the maker of the most expensive credit cards in existence. Look at these bedazzled beauties! We’re talking rare gemstones, gold, platinum, and probably kryptonite. Rosan Diamond designed Visa Infinite/Signature cards are totally unique and actually work. They have chips and can be inserted or swiped like a normal credit card, but not used in an ATM. I can’t imagine I’d ever SEE one of these let alone Hold one, but they’re pretty incredible pieces of art.  If you’re like me, you’re wondering how much these cards would set you back…$15k to $50k a pop. Let’s take a look at the world’s most expensive credit cards.

CNBC did an entire piece on them a few years back

Here’s a link to Rosan’s Instagram feed. The cards are just unreal. A few of the images from their feed:

Here are the details from, ” Chess” from Rosandiamond.com

How many stones and precious metals you ask?

Which banks issue the Rosan Diamond “Art Collection” Cards?

All of the Rosan Diamond “Art Collection” cards are Visa Infinite or Visa Signature cards; however, only a select number banks are partnered to issue them – they are almost all in Russia with a family office issuing in both Switzerland and Panama. a map of the world

Have you ever seen one?

These are clearly targeting a very specific subset of the world’s population. I don’t run in circles with many Billionaires…er rather any Billionaires lol. The biggest thing I can’t imagine doing is using these. Buying it as a piece of art is one thing…I could see some big name credit card bloggers owning one as a piece of art since it is how they made their millions. But, the fact that they are functional is pretty extraordinary and mind boggling to think that someone would throw this down to pay at Ruby Tuesday’s for Happy Hour Friday 🙂

    Nah, thanks I will not pay 50000$. I got my custom luxury metal credit card from cardrare. I customized it with my business logo too. The best thing is you don’t have to be rich to have one of these luxury cards because you pay only a one-time small fee.

    Just the thing for the status-conscious insecure who think that impressing a retail clerk is gratifying.

  • Chris jensen May 16, 2021

    That is damned absurd. For far less you can own real works of art, something that will appreciate over time, and look at something on your wall that is far more pleasing than a POS credit card.

  • […] The credit card that costs $15,000 – $50,000 […]

  • AlohaDaveKennedy May 15, 2021

    Meh – I can gold plate my Walmart debit card using a paint pen if I really want a one of a kind card to impress a cashier.

  • VX_Flier May 15, 2021

    And if you lose your card? Does the bank reissue one for free?

  • Tom May 15, 2021

    What’s the sign up bonus lol?

  • Tony May 15, 2021

    i dont find the prospect of carrying one of those appealing at all

  • woooo February 25, 2017

  • […] World’s Most Expensive Credit Card. – If you have to ask how much it is, you can’t afford it.  Visa Infinite credit cards are the highest available tier in the Visa brand and have some of the best benefits of any card. […]
