What's the most you have ever spent on a holiday?
Discussion
This isn't intended to be a willy waving thread. 
Just been in the local travel agents to pay off the balance for our upcoming holiday, and I said to the girl, "What's the most anybody has ever spent on a holiday, in your experience?"
She replied:-"£65,000, but lots of people spend £40k plus"
My most memorable holiday, looking back, was when I walked the Pennine way in 1974, cost £180, so it proves you can have a decent holiday without breaking the bank

My first ever holiday that I paid for was a 3 week trip to Malindi in Kenya when I was 19. Cost me £700 (via a bank loan). This was including flights 1/2 board and a 3 night safari. Completely changed my life and I've been going back to Africa ever since. My family is Ugandan/British.
The most memorable/expensive family holidays were a 3 week self-drive trip across Mexico after Covid and then the following year a 3 week trip to Zambia for my 60th. 4 of us both times, both around the £22-25k mark.

Not really my thing, but I suspect I'll end up going before too long.
Probably love it, if I go..
My missus won a holiday in auz, first class flights on an A380 and a week at the Langham Sydney in a suite
They let us change the departure date to extend it to 3 1/2 weeks so we treated it like a once in a life time experience, we landed and flew to uluru for a couple of days, spent 4 days in an apartment in Brisbane and drove 4k km in a supercharged v6 Toyota as well as the week at the Langham
if we had paid for it all it would have been an easy 30k at that time, so prob 50k now
she then of course won a holiday the following year in an exclusive resort in auz that had around 6 apartments and 5 staff per apartment lol, went on her own

That's surprising but I suppose it depends on how many people you're booking for. A girl in my team regularly goes on holiday with her extended family (20+) so i can see that being anywhere north of £20k.Just been in the local travel agents to pay off the balance for our upcoming holiday, and I said to the girl, "What's the most anybody has ever spent on a holiday, in your experience?"

The most we've ever spent is £12k and that was 2 weeks in Orlando for 6 of us.
We normally spend £500 to £1500 on nice cottage holidays in the UK, been to all the usual places, Lanzarote, Tenerife, Crete, Malta, Kos, Italy, Germany, and went to New York ten years ago.
Decided, (Well, Mrs WR did
) we are going to China for 14 nights in October, that's around 8k total give or take.
