Karim Benzema spends 50m Naira on a diamond-encrusted football

Real Madrid strikerKarim Benzema has reportedly spent $250,000 on a 1,250 carat, life-sized diamond-encrusted football.

Celebrity jewelers Dave Bling and Will Da Boss of DWS Jewelry and Co. told American based media outfit TMZ that Karim Benzema contacted their company and requested for a show piece to be made for his new home, so they designed the 1,250 carat football for the French star.

The ball features 72,000 colored diamonds, and Bling says the piece will be "a definite conversation starter when company arrives" at the Real Madrid superstar's crib.

This is how to show-off! He can't even kick the ball...
