People spend a crazy amount of money on things that others would deem totally not worth it. But then again, these folks also have bank accounts the size of Jupiter! If you could buy anything in the world, what would it be? Would you choose a pair of giant diamond earrings or possibly the priciest dog you\u2019ve ever seen in your life? How about a solid gold piece of LEGO or maybe a piece of wedding cake from a Royal wedding held back in 1937? Whatever strikes your fancy, there\u2019s got to be something on this list that will have you agreeing that it\u2019s worth every dollar on its hefty price tag.<\/h6>\n
Go through the lineup with us as we share 100 of the most expensive things you\u2019ll ever see from all over the world.<\/strong><\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

1. World\u2019s Most Expensive Cat \u2013 $24,000<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Slice<\/p><\/div>\n

Even if you\u2019re a cat lover, $24,000 for a cat does seem quite excessive, even if you have tons of money. This California Spangled Cat is incredibly beautiful, but unless you\u2019re some sort of feline connoisseur, you can always get one that looks almost identical but doesn\u2019t cost an arm and a leg. This particular cat was sold back in 1987, best known for his modeling work as the display cat on the 1986 Neiman Marcus Christmas Book. Hopefully this cat\u2019s owner got a copy of that so that even when it goes to kitty heaven, he (or she!) can remember his lovely feline friend.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

2. World\u2019s Most Expensive Coffee \u2013 $273 per box of 5 pods<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Slice<\/p><\/div>\n

How much would you pay for a cup of coffee? Do you think $273 for a box of five pods is pushing it a tad too far? Apparently, this Singapore-based coffee company, Medano Coffee PTE LTD doesn\u2019t. Roughly divided, it\u2019s about $55 a pod! They are made with 100 percent Arabica beans that have been sourced from Asia but packaged on the island of Singapore. The only thing that makes them a little more worth it is the fact that they work with your regular Nespresso machine.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

3. World\u2019s Most Expensive Sushi \u2013 almost $2,000<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Yahoo<\/p><\/div>\n

Sushi is a delicacy that has been enjoyed for centuries, and these days, making it has become an artform. One Filipino chef, Angelito Araneta Jr., who hails from the Philippines, created a Nigiri sushi back in 2012 that actually used 24-carat gold leaf, which he then garnished every piece with a 0.25-carat diamond and three Mikimoto pearls. And while most believe that they are not meant for consumption, the entire plate is actually edible, down to the gold! According to the chef, the final price of this particular creation was $1,978. And with such a crazy price, we have to hope that the entire experience was deemed priceless.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

4. World\u2019s Most Expensive XBOX 360 Videogame – $2,999<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Slice<\/p><\/div>\n

How much would you be willing to spend for an XBOX 360 videogame? Well, one person thought it was worth it to drop a stunning $2,999 on the Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition game. It was sold by Damien Fraimorice to a New York buyer, and the purchase became a record breaking sale for a single video game. Maybe it was because there were only 1000 copies in circulation, or maybe the buyer just likes the game a lot, but it was one of those crazy amounts that one New Yorker believed deserved his money.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

5. World\u2019s Most Expensive Matchbook – $6,000<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Slice<\/p><\/div>\n

Considering that people literally burn through matchbooks, it makes us wonder why this one was worth a whopping $6,000? This particular matchbook though was made precisely for a rare Charles Lindbergh dinner celebration that dated all the way back to June 14, 1927. Purchased by Kevin Saucier in 2015, the matchbook was purchased with four matches missing, but we highly doubt that number will increase considering how much it cost Mr. Saucier to buy it in the first place.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

6. World\u2019s Most Expensive Rice – $109 per kilo<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Slice<\/p><\/div>\n

Rice is one of the world\u2019s most grown and most eaten commodity all around the world, with some of the cheapest rice coming from Sri Lanka at .60 cents for one kilo, or roughly 2.2 pounds. But on the opposite side of the spectrum, the most expensive rice, which was sold by Toyo Rice Corporation, was actually sold at $109 per kilo. Deemed the \u201cThe World\u2019s Best Rice,\u201d it\u2019s actually composed of six different types of rice, and has managed to take home golden awards during international rice evaluation contests too.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

7. World\u2019s Most Expensive (Commercially Available) Jeans – $10,000<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Slice<\/p><\/div>\n

Regardless of the way you dress, almost every single person on the planet owns a pair of jeans, except they normally cost between $50 to $100 at the most, sometimes more if they\u2019re a designer brand. But Escada has a pair known as the Couture Swarovski Crystal Jeans that are actually customizable, allowing buyers to choose silver or 14-carat gold rivets, diamond buttons, and even more Swarovski crystals. Their starting price is already a startling $7,500 for the most basic pair but after on particular customer personalized hers, the pair took the rank as the most expensive one, costing her $10,000.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

8. World\u2019s Most Expensive Feather – $10,000<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Quizz Club<\/p><\/div>\n

Not to be outdone by a pair of jeans, but here\u2019s one item that you probably didn\u2019t think was going to make the list. A feather managed to get sold at auction for a cool $10,000 to a buyer in New Zealand. A huge reason why it\u2019s so expensive though is because the feather comes from the Huia bird, which is sadly extinct. This is why it\u2019s considered the most valuable feather on the planet, which is why the last few feathers in existence are considered valuable to certain collectors.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

9. World\u2019s Most Expensive Skateboard Video Game – $151<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Slice<\/p><\/div>\n

Although the price tag for this game isn\u2019t exactly crazy, it still took the title for the most expensive skateboard video game ever produced at $151. The price was mostly due to the motion-sensing skateboard peripheral that it came with. When the manufacturer enlisted pro-skater Tony Hawk to help them release this game, which was aptly called Tony Hawke: RIDE, there were very high hopes that it would do well. Unfortunately, the game was sadly considered a failure as it never truly took off the ground.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

10. World\u2019s Most Expensive Keyboard – $4,240<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Dofucka<\/p><\/div>\n

You\u2019re probably wondering why a keyboard would cost so much money and so are we. This Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional HP Japan instrument is worth $4,240, and it\u2019s due to the keyboard\u2019s main element designs. Despite the keyboard lacking actual letters on them, they are covered in hand-coated Urushi lacquer then dusted with gold. But even if you had the money to buy it, you\u2019re going to find yourself hard-pressed to actually find one to purchase. Thankfully, there\u2019s a much cheaper and much more basic version you can buy on Amazon.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

11. World\u2019s Most Expensive Anti-Aging Serum – $1,800 per ounce<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Forbes<\/p><\/div>\n

How much would you pay for the fountain of youth, does $1,800 for an ounce sound worth it? Because that\u2019s what this most expensive anti-aging serum costs. The JK7 Rejuvenating Serum, created by Dr. Jurgen Klein, uses the rarest and most expensive essential oils including Rose, Jasmine and Chamomile, then adds natural proteins and other peptides to make it incredibly effective. It took Dr. Klein at least ten years in research to come up with the serum, which is hand made at his family facility in Hawaii.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

12. World\u2019s Most Expensive Piece of Wedding Cake Ever Sold – $29,000<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Arabia Weddings<\/p><\/div>\n

Royal weddings are considered a real historic event, and they\u2019ve been that way for decades and the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor was no different. It took place in 1937, and one of the keepsakes was a piece of the royal wedding cake. Incredibly, it was auctioned off at none other than the reputable Sotheby\u2019s in New York in 1998, catching a $29,000 price tag at that. Auction winners, Benjamin and Amana Yin from San Francisco bought it explaining, \u201cIt is almost unimaginable to have such an item exist. It represents the epitome of a great romance.\u201d Even if it was preserved and the couple could actually eat it, we\u2019re hoping that they chose to preserve it still. After all, it is a piece of history.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

13. World\u2019s Most Expensive Shot of Cognac – $14,000<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Wealth Magazine<\/p><\/div>\n

Alcohol can fetch a hefty price, and this cognac is no different. Back in March 2018, one shot of this Rome De Bellegarde cognac actually cost a little over $14,000. The reason why the alcoholic beverage is so expensive is because there have only been 67 bottles of the liquid ever decanted. And it would seem that the person who bought it, Ranjeeta Dutt McGroarty, was the one who bought the 40ml shot for a price that some people would never even pay for all the alcohol in their life.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

14. World\u2019s Most Expensive Mug \u2013 over $33,000<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Slice<\/p><\/div>\n

The Nestle Thai Ltd. Group bought what is considered to be the most expensive mug on the planet, which is a 23-carat gold mug that weighs 1092.5 grams and was made by Yoo Long Kim Kee Gold store in Bangkok, Thailand. The mug was priced at $33,842 back on January 9, 2008. But what makes this purchase even more surprising is that it was used as a promotional offer for NesCaf\u00e9, and considering more than a decade has passed, it might be worth even more by now.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

15. World\u2019s Most Expensive Cocktail – $12,970<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Luxury Launches<\/p><\/div>\n

This isn\u2019t the first expensive cocktail on the market, but it is the most expensive one you\u2019ll find. Costing an incredulous $12,970, \u201cThe Winston\u201d was created by Joel Heffernan for Club 23 in Australia. A big reason why it\u2019s so expensive is because it has at least 60ml of the 1858 Croizet Cuvee Leonie cognac, which is recorded as the most expensive cognac sold at auction. The drink is actually served on a bed of chocolate and nutmeg souffl\u00e9 soil, as well as hand-made spun sugar and Chartreuse grapevines making it look like a work of art. And even crazier than the price is the fact that the person who bought the drink didn\u2019t even finish it before he paid his bill and left.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

16. World\u2019s Most Expensive LEGO brick – $14,450<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Elite Readers<\/p><\/div>\n

LEGO is considered the world\u2019s most favorite toy, so it\u2019s not completely surprising that a solid 14-carat gold brick was made. It had the same dimensions as the standard brick, but it weighed 25.6 grams. Apparently back in the day, these gold bricks were given to employees that had worked for the Hohenwestedt LEGO factory in Germany for at least 25 years, as well as a couple of business partners between the years of 1979 to 1981. There weren\u2019t too many in circulation either, so when this one was listed on Brick Envy, it fetched a price of $14,450.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

17. World\u2019s Most Expensive Tooth Sold at Auction \u2013 over $36,000<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Daily Star<\/p><\/div>\n

Considered the best rock and roll band, The Beatles was a legacy in itself. And when John Lennon was shot and killed back on December 8, 1980, it was the end of an era. Although it\u2019s totally normal for music legends to sell off their memorabilia, it usually consists of stuff like guitars, clothes and records or signed CDs. So when Lennon\u2019s tooth was auctioned at a charity, getting a whopping $36,857 by Canadian Dr. Michael Zuk back in 2011, the price tag just goes to show how many fans this rock legend really had.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

18. World\u2019s Most Expensive Caviar – $34,500<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Youtube<\/p><\/div>\n

Caviar is a delicacy enjoyed all over the world, but it only comes from particular waters and from particular fish. This \u201cAlmas\u201d Iranian Beluga caviar has a price tag of $34,500 per kilo, which also makes it the most expensive food in the world too. The reason why it comes with such a hefty price tag is because this caviar comes from the eggs of an albino sturgeon fish that happens to be between 60 to 100 years old, and the fish is considered in danger of extinction as well. And you can only purchase it in specialty Caviar House & Prunier stores too, making it even more of a luxury.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

19. World\u2019s Most Expensive Headphones – $50,000<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Senatus<\/p><\/div>\n

Audiophiles and music lovers will agree that there is nothing like listening to your favorite music with such pitch perfect clarity and the best speakers the world has to offer. That\u2019s probably why these Sennheiser HE 1 (Orpheus) headphones were created in the first place, which have also been given the title \u201cmarvel of modern engineering.\u201d They were also given a $50,000 price tag too, one that not too many can afford. The world\u2019s most expensive headphones are made with 6,000 components, a marble stand, quartz glass vacuum tubes, ceramic electrodes of vaporized gold and sound that must resemble angels singing in heaven.<\/h6>\n

20. World\u2019s Most Expensive (Commercially Available) Stroller \u2013 over $52,600<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Push Chair Expert<\/p><\/div>\n

Parents love to spend on their babies, especially when they\u2019re the first baby of the family. But the Silver Cross Balmoral strollers is truly excessive at best. Called the Rolls Royce of strollers, this four wheel pram has a ticket price of over $52,600, and this particular one being the special edition Rose Gold version. Although there are cheaper models that you can find of this highly sought after stroller, they won\u2019t be as pretty as this one!<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

21. World\u2019s Most Expensive (Commercially Available) Video Game Console Cover – $35,000<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Slice<\/p><\/div>\n

Just in case you like game consoles, you can actually get a cover made from gold, diamonds, and crocodile skin, if you\u2019re willing to drop $35,000 on one. This particular cover that\u2019s been pegged as the world\u2019s most expensive cover is made from 14-carat gold, 8-carat black and yellow diamonds on the front, and a crocodile finish on the back, from a real crocodile of course. Created by Simmons Jewelry Co., this particular piece was featured at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood and hasn\u2019t been ousted from its place just yet.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

22. World\u2019s Most Expensive Kiss Sold at Auction – $50,000<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Slice<\/p><\/div>\n

It might sound incredulous but Sharon Stone actually auctioned off a kiss for a charity event held in Los Angeles back in 2003. The highest bidder, Joni Rimm from the United States, spent the winning bid of $50,000 just so that she would have the chance to kiss Stone, which they did quite passionately. It might not be an actual item that she can hold in her hands, but it\u2019s surely one that Rimm will remember for the rest of her life. And of course she has the photograph as a remembrance as well.<\/h6>\n

23. World\u2019s Most Expensive Painting By a Group of Elephants – $39,000<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Slice<\/p><\/div>\n

Have you ever heard of one elephant painting, and moreover and entire group? Well in Thailand, there\u2019s actually a camp that takes care of these beautiful pachyderms and allows them to paint for fun, and earnings of course, which they do quite well! The Maesa Elephant Camp in Thailand managed to bring a group of elephants to collectively work on a masterpiece. And that piece, entitled Swirling Mist, garnered $39,000 from buyer Charming Lanna I.<\/h6>\n

\"\"

Play Huge Lottos<\/p><\/div>\n

Although there is already a pair of jeans listed here, this one is for the most expensive jeans sold at an auction. Costing $60,000, these original Levi Strauss & Co jeans were actually 115 years old at the time of the sale. A huge reason why they were so costly was because they are reportedly pre-1900\u2019s Levis and still wearable up to today. The pair was found by a group of friends that had been hiking in the Mojave Desert back in 1998 and were eventually sold to their Japanese buyer via eBay back in 2005.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

25. World\u2019s Most Expensive Pair of Cufflinks Sold at Private Sale – $39,750<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Slice<\/p><\/div>\n

Cufflinks tend to be a sign of privilege and prestige, and this particular pair went way beyond making a statement. These cufflinks, called the V2 were designed by Arfaq from the United Kingdom and are made with sapphires and diamonds embedded in 18-carat gold. They also fetched a hefty price of $39,750. They were sold to none other than Michael Jackson and MJJ Productions in a private sale in Romania back in 1996. We also have to assume that they are still in his family\u2019s possession along with all his other assets.<\/h6>\n

This one in particular was produced by Chennai Silks in India, featuring a variety of images from 11 different paintings by Raja Ravi Varma, a well-known Indian artist. It was explained as, “The silk sari is made up of navratna stones including diamonds, emeralds, rubies, yellow sapphires, sapphires, topaz, pearls, cat’s eye and coral. It also has embroidered metals such as gold, platinum and silver,” and was sold at a whopping $100,000.<\/h6>\n

27. World\u2019s Most Expensive Bottle of Water Sold at Auction – $60,000<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Google<\/p><\/div>\n

Although this looks more like a sculpture than it does a bottle of water, it\u2019s actually a 24-carat gold glass water bottle that happens to display the artwork of Amadeo Clemente Modigliani. It was created for an auction that was organized by the Planet Foundation A.C. in 2004 for an incredible $60,000. At least the money was used for donation to the foundation in order to help fight the effects of global warming. And the chances that this is sitting on someone\u2019s mantel piece rather than used as an actual water bottle.<\/h6>\n

28. World\u2019s Most Expensive Teddy Bear Ever Sold at Auction – $182,550<\/h2>\n

It was sold in a Christie\u2019s event in Monaco and the winning bid paid a whopping $182,550. The bear reportedly sits in a museum in Jeju, Korea.<\/h6>\n

29. World\u2019s Most Expensive Turntable – $112,000<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Pinterest<\/p><\/div>\n

Most kids these days see turntables and look at them like they\u2019re some alien creation, but there was a time when owning one was the coolest thing a kid could have. But this Continuum Caliburn turntable was probably never owned by any kid, considering it costs $112,000. Created by Continuum Audio Laboratories PTY in Melbourne, Australia, the reason why it\u2019s so expensive is because it was made using a magnesium platter that hovers due to a magnetic system. We can only imagine how incredible it would be to listen to some of the best music legends on this audio marvel.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

30. World\u2019s Most Expensive Bottle – $225,000<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Alux<\/p><\/div>\n

Although the alcohol inside the bottle is prized as well, it\u2019s truly the bottle this time that\u2019s worth a rather large price. This Platinum and White Gold Tequila bottle was designed by Fernando Altamirano and was sold by Tequila Ley .925. It was sold to a private collector from Mexico City back in July 2006, after paying a price of $225,000, containing 100% Blue Agave Tequila that was aged 6 years and worth $2,500 for the alcohol alone.

Even if you\u2019re not a wine connoisseur, you probably know that there are certain bottles of wine that are worth tons of money. This Chateau d\u2019Yquem bottle of white wine managed to sell for an incredibly expensive price of $117,000 in the year 2011, and it still holds the title for priciest bottle of wine ever sold. A very big reason why it managed to sell for such a high price was the fact that it was bottled all the way back in 1811, making it over two hundred years old currently.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

32. World\u2019s Most Expensive Script From a Film \u2013 over $300,000<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Ebay<\/p><\/div>\n

If you\u2019ve never seen The Godfather, then we suggest that you stream it right now because it\u2019s worth your time. This novel by Mario Puzo, turned movie directed by Francis Ford Coppola, was an instant classic, as were its two succeeding sequels. When the 173-page script for The Godfather was auctioned off at a Christie\u2019s event in 2005, it was bought by an anonymous bidder for $300,000. One has to assume that the buyer was either a Puzo fan, a movie fan, or a mafia memorabilia fanatic. Whatever the case may be, it\u2019s definitely a one of a kind items.<\/h6>\n

Although the regular Clive Christian No1 perfume normally costs $2,355 for 30ml, which would already burn a hole in anyone\u2019s pocket, this limited edition one definitely takes the cake.<\/h6>\n

Today\u2019s generation might not understand what this contraption is, but they\u2019ll probably recognize that this is where modern day keyboards came from. This Lettera 32 Olivetti typewriter in light blue was bought at a more affordable $50 back in 1963 by author Cormac McCarthy, who penned the novel No Country for Old Men. The author eventually sold it once again at auction in recent years, and it managed to fetch a price of $254,500. Of course it was notable that the price increase was also due to the fact that Cormac McCarthy was the last known owner.<\/h6>\n

Telegraph<\/p><\/div>\n

Barbie is world-renowned, so it\u2019s not too surprising that she managed to make it onto this list as well. But it wasn\u2019t actually for the Mattel doll in the adorable little black dress designed by Australian designer Stefano Canturi that made this particular Barbie worth $302,500. The reason for her impressive price tag was due to the gorgeous 1-carat pink diamond surrounded by another 3-carats of white diamonds that she\u2019s wearing on her neck.<\/h6>\n

In fact, it\u2019s made with a total of 320-carats of black and white diamonds that set the price at $500,000 also happens to be only one of seven sets ever created. Another chess set was supposed to be made called the Jewel Royale line, and it was going to retail at a staggering $9.8 million, but it was never put into production.<\/h6>\n

Part of the reason why it\u2019s so expensive is the way that it blooms and changes in tone and color, with a bloom that\u2019s said to have a record holding bloom and is uniquely it\u2019s own. But more than that, the display for the show cost $15.8 million, which was record breaking as well.<\/h6>\n
