Perfume

Clive Christian No. 1 Imperial Majesty Perfume is said to have a heavenly scent, and at $205,000 for just 500 mL we would certainly hope so. It is not just the ingredients in the perfume which make it costly, but the bottle itself.

Their limited edition Hannibal Barca pens sell for $1,8 million each. The pens have been carefully crafted with white gold and encrusted with thousands of diamonds, including a 6.03 ct that crowns the top. While these pens look fabulous, you may find that they are a tad too heavy to write with comfortably. At $1,8 million each that seems like a huge price for a pen that doesn’t even work properly.

The Golden Block

While most Lego sets may be marketed to children or star wars fans, Legos’ latest block is marketed to the extremely wealthy. The company recently released its golden Lego block for collectors. This baby retails at a whopping $15,000 each, and if you plan on building something with them you may need quite a large chunk of change.

Gold Platted Bugatti Veyron

This is no mere golden painted Bugatti; this Bugatti is literally covered in 24 karat gold. For the car’s owner, a Middle Eastern Billionaire, having a Bugatti Veyron was not extravagant enough. So, he demanded that his Bugatti be covered inside and outside with 24 karats yellow gold. While this one-of-a-kind car is beautiful to look at, the weight of the gold means that the car’s performance has suffered. But hey, at least it won’t rust!

A Dinosaur Skull

Nicolas Cage had a great career until he eventually has some money troubles and had to do a lot of bad movies. However, before he had difficulties good ol’Nic would frequently enjoy some retail therapy. The actor once bought the fossilized head of a T Rex that cost him $276,000.

Lost Gardens of Heligan Pineapple

These pineapples can fetch up to $15,000 dollars each when sold. What makes them so special you ask? Well nothing really, except these pineapples are grown in Cornwall England.

The Royal Penthouse

Gold Leaf and Crystal Piano

This Golf Leaf piano made by Fazioli is something we imagine someone like John Legend sitting down at. Not only is it an extraordinary instrument on its own but it is also completely coated in 24k gold leaf which is what accounts for the huge price tag. Alongside that, this crystal piano was used in Beijing at the Olympic games. Recently, the piano was sold at a private auction for an insane amount!

ADVERTISEMENT

So, just how much are these pianos? The gold leaf piano can cost $545,000 but the crystal piano cost it’s the new owner a whopping $3.2 million. They definitely look like they should be sitting in the Palace of Versailles in France during the reign of one of the many Louis’. We would be nervous about accidentally damaging these pianos, so it should definitely come with a “Handle with care” sign.

The Golden PIzza

The most expensive pizza in the world cost a whopping $70, 000. The pizza was made by a chef who cooks exclusively for billionaires and was bought by Youtuber Mr. Beast. The pizza came covered in edible gold leaf, with 10-year-old cheese sauce, white truffle shavings, albino caviar, smoked sea salt, Kobe beef, and Hudson Valley foie gras.

Apparently, the pizza was delicious but we aren’t sure about the flavor combination of beef and caviar. Don’t you agree that $70,000 for a pizza is a bit much?

Evian Baths

We’ve all heard the stories of Cleopatra bathing in milk to keep herself beautiful, but in 2014 Beyonce took that idea and modernized it when she ordered a bath filled with heated Evian water.

Evian Baths

Beyonce had heard that Evian water was good for mothers and babies because of its low sodium content, so instead of drinking it, she decided that she and baby Blue Ivy would only ever bath in Evian water. While her logic may be shaky, this mineral bath cost the pop star $6000 for every bath full.

Diamond Heels

The Passion Diamond Heels look like something you could get from the red-soled designed line Christian Louboutin but they are so much more than that. At first glance, they appear to be your standard gold patent stilettos, but then the sun hits the 118 diamonds encrusting each heel.

ADVERTISEMENT

The real showstopper is the 15-carat diamond sitting smackdab in the center of these beauties. They are priced at $17 million which makes us wonder just when they are going to show up on one of the Kardashian clan for a show-stopping moment on the red carpet. Maybe even that price tag is holding them back.

The Golden Giant Burger

For about three months each year, when the ingredients come into season, the Oak Door Steakhouse in Japan offers a burger unlike any other. This meat behemoth is not something that is just a burger though, the beef itself is Wagyu which is some of the most expensive meat.

Gold Pacifiers

Any new baby needs a pacifier and while you can normally pick up a three-pack of pacifiers at your local drug store when Beyonce discovered she was pregnant with twins she wanted only the best for her kids.

A Whitegold Pencil

Graf von Faber-Castell is well-known producers of fine painting and drawing materials. They decided to branch off into luxury drawing items with the creation of the white gold perfect pencil.

The Finest Painting

The most expensive painting ever sold fetched $450 million dollars at auction. The painting, named the Salvator Mundi Painting, was painted by famous painter Leonardo da Vinci almost 600 years ago. People in the auction house were shocked when the painting sold for so much to an anonymous buyer.

Al Marjan Island

We all want our piece of land to call our own, but in the United Arab Emirates, you can call a collection of four islands all yours. For $462 million that is.
