Whether or not a fidget spinner can help with post-traumatic stress and anxiety, the craze surrounding it still hasn’t died down. Fidget spinners are clearly this year’s biggest fad. You see them everywhere — on every playground, workplace and every store. Even the likes of supermodel Kendall Jenner, singer Rita Ora, DNCE band member Joe Jonas and former One Direction singer Liam Payne were spotted toying with fidget spinners in public. A Hong Kong-based company, Chilli International, has recently even launched a fidget spinner that doubles as a mobile phone! The K118 is available only in India and has a keypad, a screen and built-in Bluetooth capabilities. While some of the fidget spinners are available at a reasonable price (K118 is priced at just Rs 1,200-1,300), some are downright expensive. Whether you are looking for the longest spin or a spinner that matches your personality, we list the world’s top five costliest fidget spinners.
