11 Million Dollar Christmas Tree?

Christmas came in extravagant fashion to the emirate of Abu Dhabi as a glitzy hotel unveiled a Christmas tree valued at more than 11 million dollars.

The 13-metre (40-foot) faux evergreen, located in the gold leaf-bedecked rotunda of the hotel, is decorated with silver and gold bows, ball-shaped ornaments and small white lights. 

But the necklaces, earrings and other jewellery draped around the tree's branches are what give it a record value.

It holds a total of 181 diamonds, pearls, emeralds, sapphires and other precious stones.
