I'm not the expert-he is). When you custom a bike and piece it together, it can get that expensive. I'll try to find a link in the meantime.

I'm sure you don't think you are lying but depending on how you count there are really only like 20 components on a bike and the best of the best in some categories are relatively inexpensive.
The finest Chris King headset is $125 or so, the best Ti railed saddle you can buy is like $150 tops.
An entire XTR or Dura Ace group is like $1500.
Unless the frame is custom layed up carbon fiber it's simply not possible.
