The most expensive sports jersey belongs to none other than baseball icon, Babe Ruth, with one of his legendary New York Yankees jerseys selling for $5.6 million at auction back in 2019.
2. Most Expensive Car
In 2022, a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé sold for $135 million, making it the most expensive car ever auctioned.
3. Most Expensive Jewel
The Pink Star diamond is the most expensive diamond ever sold. Boasting a bright pink hue and 59.60 carats, the diamond sold for $71.2 million at auction in 2017.
4. Most Expensive Piano
First making its debut in 1942’s ‘Casablanca’, the ‘As Time Goes By’ piano sold for an eye-popping $3.4 million in 2014.
5. Most Expensive Tattoo
While tattoos can be pretty pricey, the most expensive tat of all time is worth $924,000. Instead of ink, the tattoo was created by adhering 612 Shimansky Ideal Cut .5 carat diamonds to a model’s back, a process that took roughly eight hours.
6. Most Expensive Burger
While you can usually get a decent burger for a dollar or so while on the fly, De Dalton’s Golden Boy burger is the ultimate splurge. Worth €5,000 ($5,312.55 USD), the burger is comprised of “100 percent Wagyu A5 meat including Beluga caviar, king crab, Spanish Paleta Ibérico, white truffle, English cheddar and barbecue sauce made with Kopi Luwak coffee and Scottish Macallan whisky,” per its menu listing. Its bun is made in house, infused with Dom Pérignon and covered with gold leaf.
7. Most Expensive Handbag
Boasting 4,517 diamonds, Mouawad’s 1001 Nights Diamond Purse is the most expensive handbag in the world, according to Guinness World Records.
8. Most Expensive Sneakers
Michael Jordan’s ‘Dynasty Collection’ — a.k.a. the six Nike Air Jordan shoes the basketball icon wore during each of his championship games with the Chicago Bulls — sold at auction for $8 million in February.
9. Most Expensive Painting
Leonardo da Vinci’s “Salvator Mundi” is the most expensive painting ever sold, nabbing $450.3 million at auction in 2017.
10. Most Expensive Movie Prop
In August 2019, The Aston Martin DB5 used in the James Bond series’ ‘Thunderbolt’ and ‘Goldfinger’ sold at auction for $6.4 million. Considering several of the car’s in-film features still work — including its rotating license plate and a bullet shield — we’d say its price tag isn’t too far fetched.

12. Most Expensive Guitar

13. Most Expensive Home
While it may not be for sale — and hasn’t been since the royals moved in back in 1837 — Buckingham Palace is considered to be the most expensive house in the world. Home to the British Royal family, the London, England property boasts 775 rooms, 78 bathrooms and a 40 acre garden. It’s estimated to be worth a whopping $1.3 billion.
14. Most Expensive Hotel Room
Tired of Airbnb? Try cozying up at the Atlantis the Royal Dubai’s penthouse suite. Starting at $100,000 a night, the 12,141-square-foot room comes with a personal butler, Hermés toiletries and a pair of century-old olive trees.
