Yes ladies and gentlemen, it's that time of year again - the time of year when Forbes tell us all how to spend the $6 million plus that's been burning a hole in our pockets.

Although Mercedes didn't top the list (that honor goes to the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, priced at a mere $1,192,057), the SLR McLaren is holding steady towards the rear of the pack, coming at number 7 with a price tag of $452,750.  To help keep the lowly Mercedes company, its Maybach siblings decided they'd drop by as well, with the $448,153 Maybach 62 and the $430,355 Maybach 57 S taking the number 8 and 10 spots, respectively.
