Most expensive stuff

[UKBob]

Pooling the genius of the PH collective, what are the most expensive things one could buy, if money were no object?

IIRC, isnt there a restaurant in america which sells very old .... brandy or (?)wine at $500 a glass?

Petrol at the services on the A14. £1.02 a litre....

The worlds most expensive house is a cool 70 million

The bridge suite in a hotel in the Carribbeeen (?) is $24,000 a night if I remember correctly.

1961 Château Latour = $4000 plus per bottle, if you can find it. Christies of New York auctioned a case off for $56,400 a few years ago.

Certain years of Château Margaux are equally prized...

Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra(s) are something like $10 million +



Hell if you get her that bra you can also get her the expensive 'ruby'
stilettos at £920,000 designed by Stuart Weitzman

Laksmi Mittal's house in Kensington was £70 million.

A "Badminton Cabinet" (an antique) auctioned for £19 million in December 2004.

Sotheby's sold a Picasso ("Garcon a la Pipe" ) for $104 million.

An 1847 Chateau D'Yquem auctioned in 2004 for $71,675.

A MacLaren F1 (maybe?), historic Ferrari/Aston/Bentley etc could set you back > £1 million easily. A 1935 Deesenberg sold last year for $4.5 million (the fourth highest paid for a car ever)

Roman Abramovich's yacht was bought for £72 million.

It costs £270,000 for a 121 day cruise on the QE2. You can charter the 279 foot Annaliesse for $840,000 per WEEK.

There is a suitcase called the Henk which sells for $20,000.

Upwards of 15K USD for a suitcase. That's absolutley f'ing ridiculous. And I thought I was stupid spending a grad on one

An element called californium-252

A few years ago the US Atomic Energy Commission were selling it for a mere $1,000 per microgram, or about $350 billion per pound, slightly higher than the price of Shell Optimax

Psch, just down the road in Windlesham we've got Updown Court, valued at £76 million. (Doesn't the extra six million seem so trivial?) Heated marble driveway is the highlight for me - the lowlight would probably be the £500,000 per year you run up in bills.

[Selmer]

no-one mentioned those ridiculously priced Zymols yet?

Chivas 50 year old Royal Salute.

10 bottles allocated for the US market at $10,000 per bottle. Only one Restaurant in the US has purchased a bottle (the other 9 are in private collections). Prime Steakhouse in the Bellagio hotel, Las Vegas (yes, that Bellagio of Oceans 11 fame) will sell you a shot from the bottle for $1050 each.
