Can you put a price on the things you treasure the most? The answer is usually no. But, it is not the same for the items on this list. Billionaires and millionaires stretch their budget as much as possible to get their hands on the most expensive and luxurious things. Here are the six most expensive things in the world.
A watch worth $55 million
The Graff Diamonds Hallucination watch is a once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece. The wristwatch took thousands of hours of work and over 110 carats of diamond to make. The platinum quarts encrusted watch has pink, blue, yellow, orange, and grey color diamonds. The distinctively and individually cut diamonds on the watch are its unique feature.
The $70 million sports-car
This 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO is a beauty to behold. The car broke a record when the founder and CEO of WeatherTech bought it for $70 million. This vintage car is unique as it is one of the 39 Ferrari cars built between 1962 and 1964. No wonder this car is called the ‘Van Gog’s ‘Sunflowers’ of the motoring world.
A tuna worth $3.1 million
Yes, you read it right.
Kiyoshi Kimura, a sushi restaurant owner, paid $3.1 million for a bluefish tuna in the Toyosu market in Japan sometime in 2019. Tuna is officially a threatened species and, this single fish was overwhelmingly over the top.
A house which costs more than Buckingham Place
Antila, named after the mythical Atlantic island, is worth $22.3 billion. The 444,000 square foot house in Mumbai, India, is owned by Business tycoon Mukesh Ambani. The 27 floored house includes 168 car garages, a temple, spa, movie theatre, garden, a ballroom, guest suites, and three helipads.
Most expensive things in the world:A $1 million parking spot
A reliable parking spot is never out of fashion. Manhattan lost over 25,000 parking spaces between 1978 and 2010. Developers could only include 20 percent of those in the new residences. 15 Renwick, a boutique, sold three parking spaces for $1 million in 2015.
A picture is worth a thousand words. But, this one is worth $450 million
Bader bin Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Farhan al-Saud, the Saudi prince, bought Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi at a Christie’s auction. The final bid of $450 million was a shock.
It was due for a premiere at the Louvre but, is reportedly missing since 2018.
The most expensive things in the world might not be attainable to all but, they certainly have a tale to tell.
