Millionaire's $800,000 dog

A millionaire in northern China paid 4 million yuan (NZ$832,000) for a dog and ordered 30 luxury cars to come to the airport to greet her and the animal.

The woman and her black Tibetan mastiff flew into Xian, capital of Shaanxi province, a report on popular news portal sohu.com said.

Thirty black Mercedes-Benz cars drove to the airport on Wednesday to pick up the pair, who had arrived from the Tibetan-populated province of Qinghai in China's north-west.

The number of millionaires in China is steadily growing.

That's... just kinda bizarre... The cost of hiring the cars alone could have fed a lot of Chinese peasants for a month.

Pffft. 30 black mercs? I get 47 white Rolls' (with gold trim natch) to pick me and my pet ostrich up from the airport. These new-money millionaires still have much to learn.
