.When it comes to the most expensive things in the world, it is certain that most of these things would be exclusive and rarely found.
Below is a compiled list of the 20 most expensive things in the world along with their costs. Without any further ado, let us take a virtual tour of these beautiful and expensive things!.
20.Feather of Huia Bird
- It was auctioned in New Zealand and won by an anonymous bidder. The feather of Huia birds is very expensive because the animal has been extinct for more than a hundred years.
Cost: 10,000 USD
- It is considered to be the most expensive feather on planet earth as it is now the only known remain. Huia feathers represent friendship and respect.
The single feather that went under the hammer had been verified as authentic by experts from New Zealand’s national museum, Te Papa. A family bought the Huia feather from the city of Wellington, who declined to be identified. The feather was sold by a man who had it in his family for generations. The black and white feathers were traditionally used to adorn Maori chiefs. Nobody expected the final price for this feather to be so high. Webb’s Auction House in Auckland recently made a world record-breaking sale, when a brown and white feather fetched NZ$8,000 ($6,787)! The single feather belonged to the Huia bird, which is thought to be extinct and has not been seen since 1907. In fact, the pre-sale estimate for the feather was set at NZ$500.19.Saffron
- It has tremendous health benefits and is very helpful for pregnant women. If you have a passion for cooking and love to add a little spice to your dishes, then you should definitely have saffron in your pantry. Saffron is touted as the world’s most expensive spice that sells at $11 per gram.
Cost: $18 per gram
- The commodity is very expensive because the harvesting process for Saffron is very labor-intensive.
It is often hidden in the office to thwart would-be thieves. Yet, these seemingly small amounts will often flavor more than one dish. Not only will they retain their flavor longer, but you will also be assured you have purchased pure saffron. Since so little is needed, you will find ground saffron sold in packets of about 1/16 of a teaspoon, and threads equaling about 1/4 gram or 1/2 of a teaspoon. I know of some frugal cooks who steep a few threads in a few tablespoons of hot liquid for 10 minutes, use the liquid in their recipe, then dry and reuse the threads a second time. Available in threads (whole stigmas) and ground, your best bet is to go with saffron threads. Powdered saffron is not as strong, tends to lose flavor, and is also easily adulterated with fillers and imitations. The longer you steep the saffron threads, the stronger the flavor and color. If you cannot find saffron on your local market's spice shelves, try asking at the service desk. For ground saffron, lightly toast and grind threads yourself. Threads should be crushed before using. Steep them in the cooking liquid before using.
18.Magnetic floating bed
- Hidden away when I don’t need it, and somehow the flight elevate accordingly when I am about to travel up or down. The bed floats 1.2 feet above the ground and has the capacity to hold up to 2000 pounds.
Cost: 1.6 million USD
- Nice concept, but I would prefer a magnetic stairs. The proud owner of this Magnetic floating bed can claim that he owns a unique thing that took seven years to complete.
Dutch architect Janjaap Ruijssenaars created a floating bed that would allow you to sleep in a bed that is floating in mid air. The actual model would cost about US$1,533,419, now why would I want a floating bed? and would it sort of float away? and the ultimate question would be – is it powered by normal electricity? What happen if there is a sudden blackout during the night? Yeah – we got a new name, Death Bed!. Estimated to make you poorer by US$146,953 for just the scale model ( he never mention about the actual scale but I bet it would be 1:100).17.‘Rhein II’ (photograph)
- Rhein II is the most expensive photograph in the world. This photograph represents the true relationship of a man with nature.
Cost: 4.3 million USD
- The simplicity of this photograph is the artwork of Gursky that displays a great deal of confidence in its effectiveness. This was made by German visual artist Andreas Gursky in the year 1999.
"Does it come with several Ferraris?" offers an arts editor here. Well, that would make more sense, but no, not that we know of. "One can only assume the collector really likes stripes of green and gray," jokes SeattlePI.com. Unfortunately, though, we don't know who bought it. Andreas Gursky's Rhein II fetched $4,338,500 at a Christie's auction last week, breaking the record for the most expensive photograph ever sold at auction. Here's what we do know: The photo comes at the mammoth proportion of about 6-by-11 feet, and that's got to count for something. Plus (sorry all starving photographers), that price tag is nothing unusual for Gursky. Until the purchase of Cindy Sherman's Untitled in May, Gursky's 99 Cent II Diptychon had been the most expensive photo, which sold at Sotheby's for $3.3 million in 2007. He has photos in major museums like the Museum of Modern Art and London's Tate Modern and studied under the renowned Bernd and Hilla Becher in Germany. And maybe his very German-ness contributes to the price, too. The Rhine is "one of the most symbolic motifs in German art," says Francis Outred, head of Europe in post-war and contemporary art at Christie's. It runs through Gursky's hometown of Dusseldorf, as well as six European countries, and has inspired art for centuries.16.Dead Shark
- Meanwhile,. This dead shark art piece was created by Damien Hirst. This artwork is officially called “The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living”. This was picked up by an anonymous financial wizard who works in the hedge-fund industry.
Cost: 12 million USD
- In 2005, artist Damien Hirst's dead shark reportedly sold for $12 million.
All that crap.” Damien Hirst dismisses the practice of criticism in his introduction to these essays by Gordon Burn, although he may be thinking of his recent detractors rather than Vasari and Ruskin. [He wrote] almost like fucking carving it out of marble”. Others agree: Burn, who died last year, won a Whitbread Award for Alma Cogan, a novel based unapologetically on post–war cultural icons.“There’s just so much shit isn’t there? With art writing. “There’s just so much shit isn’t there? With art writing. Conversely, he acknowledges his friend Burn as “an artist in his own right .

- It is made up of a near-flawless 407.48-carat white diamond along with 90 white diamonds that weigh around 230 carats.
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - For someone with $55 million to spare on an egg-sized diamond, the world’s most expensive necklace is on sale this month at a jeweler show in Singapore, reflecting Asia’s growing appetite for precious gems and expensive baubles. Known as L’Incomparable, the necklace created by luxury jeweler Mouawad features a yellow, internally flawless diamond of more than 407 carats suspended from a rose gold setting that is studded with 90 white diamonds weighing nearly 230 carats. "Serious interest” has been expressed by a couple of potential buyers from Asia, said Jean Nasr, managing director of Mouawad in Singapore, declining to identify their nationalities. "People who will get something like this are looking at it from a different perspective because this is definitely an investment piece,” he told Reuters. The necklace, whose centerpiece diamond was found by chance in a pile of mining rubble by a young girl in the Democratic Republic of Congo about 30 years ago, will be the flashiest item on offer at the Singapore Jewel Fest on October 11-20.
14.Crystal Piano
- It was played in front of a billion audience watching it online and offline. As the name suggests this piano is handcrafted entirely of crystal. It is one of the most expensive musical instruments in the world.
Cost: 3.2 million USD
- The piano was first made public in the year 2008 during the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games.
With only three instruments produced each year for the entire world, the CR-40 is a rare gem created to occupy life’s rare moments and spaces. There are times and places where you need something special, something truly unique to set apart an occasion or a rarefied space. Whatever the uncommon need, the distinctive Kawai CR-40 Crystal Grand Piano could be that missing piece. It could be an exclusive home with a matchless view, a one-of-a-kind concert, or a luxury venue on a cruise ship.
13.Falcon Supernova IPhone 6 Pink Diamond
- i Phone Supreme Rose is the most expensive phone in the world.
Cost: $48.5 million
- The handset is crafted with 75 flawless diamonds and 4 pink baguette diamonds that weigh 2.5 carats each. This is not an ordinary mobile handset as no one will dare to lose or smash this Stuart Hughes cell phone. It includes a luxurious hand-finished wallet that is made from real Ostrich foot.
Still, the most eye-catching and expensive detail of the most expensive phone in the world is the single pink diamond placed on the back of the device. The humble iPhone 6 is covered in gold and platinum for a luxury look and received a security upgrade to prevent user data from getting stolen. There have been plenty of very expensive smartphones created over the past decade, but none of them is as expensive as the Falcon Supernova iPhone 6 with a reported price tag of $48.5 million.
12.Diamond Panther Bracelet
- I usually don’t mention prices, but you should be aware that this baby sold for just over 7 million dollars. This jewelry piece triggered a romance between Wallace Simpson, the original socialite and queen of style, and Edward VIII. I’m pretty sure it’s worth every penny.
Cost: 12.4 million USD
- Diamond panther bracelet is the most expensive bracelet in the world.
The most remarkable feature of this bracelet – besides the sensuous lines and emerald eyes of the elegant panther – is the piece’s extensive articulation. The panther is jointed along its entire length to allow the bracelet to drape itself around a lucky wearer’s wrist rather than remaining rigid like a bangle. Sotheby's says the piece is “designed to encircle the wrist and to assume a stalking attitude.” Sounds like an accurate description to me. Just look how perfectly detailed he is; the perk of his ears, the shape of his paws.
11.Gold-plated Bugatti Veyron
- Flo Rida has proved that you don’t need to be a billionaire to own this stunning beauty on wheels. The gold plating was added to the car post his purchase.
Cost: 10 million USD
- American Rapper Flo Rida is the proud owner of this gold-plated Bugatti. The car has amazing speed that goes from 0-100 in just 2.8 seconds.
Some of them become even rarer than the rest when the owners decide to give their million-dollar rides some special treatment. The extremely rare convertible Veyron Grand Sport, with only 150 ever made, originally started off with a white paint scheme but was sent to Dubai for a makeover. Bugatti Veyron is undoubtedly one of rarest modern cars in the world with just 468 ever made. It is the latest ride to join the fleet of luxury cars flown from Saudi Arabia to arrive in London as part of ‘The Season’ when the super-wealthy swap the desert for Britain’s temperate climate. You might remember Flo-Rida’s gilded Bugatti Veyron, a similarly blinged-out Bugatti Veyron, parked outside London’s exclusive Dorchester Hotel after being flown over this week, caused quite a stir with people trying to catch a glimpse of it. Gold-colored cars might not be to everyone’s taste, but the shimmering paint job on this Veyron sure is a head-turner. Customizing firm ‘Foilacar’ wrapped it in gold and black.
With a ‘1’ plate, the Saudi registered Veyron has become the star attraction outside The Dorchester, with fans trying to get a photo of the eye-catching supercar.
10.The domain ‘Insure.com’
- The domain name ‘Insure.com’ holds the record to register its name in the Guinness Book of Records under the most expensive domain name category that has ever been sold.
Cost: 16 million USD
- It was sold for a whopping 16 million dollars to California-based Quinstreet, a public traded marketing company.
According to AboutUs.org, QuinStreet is an online performance marketing company helps businesses target their would-be customer audiences by using its proprietary technologies and media reach to generate sales leads. Fortunately for us people on the sideline, we will be able to see how this plays out for the Life Quotes, since they are a publicly traded company and will have to report its revenues. I believe that this is the highest recorded price for a domain sale, beating Sex.com, which sold for a reported $12 million in 2006. It’s going to be very interesting to see how the company now previously known as Insure.com will manage with the name change and loss of links. They may have a unique product (I do not know), but it will be difficult for them to re-climb in the search engine rankings after the name change. The domain name was purchased by Quin Street, who as you may recall, paid $18,000,000 for Internet.com and related assets back in August. The company believes a name change “is expected to reduce revenues 10 percent to 15 percent for the next two to six quarters,” however, I think it will take a whole lot of marketing dollars to purchase the traffic that will be lost when Quin Street takes over the domain name. Not only do they lose their type-in traffic and inbound links, but they also lose the credibility that comes with saying, “hi, I’m from Insure.com.” $16 million sure is a nice sum of money, and it’s a great ROI no doubt, but one has to wonder what they long term impact for the company will be.
09.201-carat gemstone watch
- There are 874 diamonds and a total of 201 carats of precious gemstones with heart-shaped fancy diamonds embedded in it. This 201-carat gemstone watch aptly fits all the requirements of what an ideal great timepiece should look like.
Cost: 25 million USD
- This was made by the Chopard watchmakers. People who have a passion for luxury watches are always on the search for unique, rare, and expensive pieces.
Chopard is known for making watches that are a cut above the rest. This is especially true of the 201 carat Chopard watch, a dazzling accessory made in 2000 that brings a whole new meaning to luxury. Not only does every timepiece in the company's collection boast superb quality, but each one has a highly unique design that sets it apart from other styles.
08.The ‘Perfect Pink’
- Even rarer are those that exceed 5 carats, or feature a vivid saturation of color. For these reasons, the Graff Pink Diamond is more than just a stunning gem - it's a natural marvel that will no doubt be cherished for centuries to come.
Cost: 23.88 million USD
- The perfect Pink diamond was auctioned at Christie’s, Hong Kong for a whopping 23.2 million dollars. According to Vickie Sek, director of the jewelry department at Christie’s Asia, it is the most expensive jewel in the Asian subcontinent.
Better yet, less than 1 carat had been lost in the process - a difference in weight that was well worth it to achieve an uncommon level of perfection. The lesson learned? Sometimes it's worth making a sacrifice for the sake of greater beauty - especially in regard to colored diamonds. Only several cutters are capable of such a feat, and as the Graff Diamonds website explained, these professionals closely protect their secret tactics. It took weeks of meticulous work to furbish the diamond, but when it emerged from this painstaking process, the Graff Pink Diamond was even more awe-inspiring than before. He also sought to increase the color intensity of the diamond - a lofty goal that would pose numerous challenges. It was sent to the GIA for analysis, and the institute graded the Graff Pink as a 23.88 carat Internally Flawless Vivid Pink Diamond. In fact, according to Graff Diamonds, the stone had 25 natural flaws. The diamond was, after all, graded as potentially flawless - it needed a little repolishing to reach perfection. "One wrong move and the diamond could shatter, sending fragments of the world's most valuable pink diamond scattering across the workshop floor." Getting rid of these blemishes wasn't Laurence Graff's only objective, either. Pink diamonds are inarguably some of the rarest finds around the world. When Graff decided to bid on the gem, he had plans to make it even more gorgeous than before. Using cutting-edge technology, the company's experts were able to eliminate those defects while keeping the diamond's shape and symmetry intact. "The risks involved were enormous,"
07.Garçon à la pipe (painting)
- This marvelous Garçon à la pipe painting was made by none other than the genius Pablo Picasso in the year 1905.
Cost: 104 million USD
- Picasso was just 24 years old when he painted this and considered it to be one of the best ever early works by the artist to appear in the art market.
Although Picasso started to paint this picture, he gave it a rest period for about a month. Le Bateau-Lavoir in Montmartre is where Picasso was living when he painted the picture. Garçon à la pipe was painted in 1905 when Picasso was 24 years old, during his Rose Period, soon after he settled in the Montmartre section of Paris, France. During this time, Picasso decided to finish it off by placing a garland of flowers on the boy's head. After much repositioning of the model, Picasso decided to go with the boy sitting down. Some of the local people made a living in the entertainment industry, such as being clowns or acrobats. Early preparations of this work involved positioning the boy in all types of poses that involved standing, sitting or leaning against the wall. Next was how to position the arm, where much time was also spent on the height and angle. Early works do not show any objects other than a pipe being used. Picasso used many local people in his pictures, but little is known about the boy in the pic. The oil on canvas painting depicts a Parisian boy holding a pipe in his left hand and wearing a garland or wreath of flowers.
06.Parking spot Manhattan
- The price is 6 times more compared to the average American home.
Cost : 1 million USD
- People living in Manhattan are well aware of the fact that real estate prices in the city come with an astronomical price tag. This parking lot in the city of New York in downtown Manhattan is worth at least 1 million USD.
Last year, developer Morad Fareed purchased the eight-story prewar loft building for $120 million and is in the process of converting the former parking garage into six luxury condominiums with mammoth, 15-foot-high ceilings. costs six times more than the national-average price of a single-family home. “The reality of New York City is that people are willing to pay more for a parking spot than the average person in the country pays for a home.” The city’s second most expensive parking spot is a 300-square-foot “en suite” sky garage that’s inside of a $7 million penthouse at 200 11th Ave. For moguls or celebrities, however, the rare commodity of a Manhattan parking space inside their building, with a curb cut at the street, is a huge status symbol and selling point. It’s for the type of person who finds that attractive. The lighting patterns and air quality in the building are designed to provide its residents with a better night’s rest. The private garage at 66 E. Buying it would be the same as paying a $115 ticket for illegal parking every day — for 24 years. It could be a celebrity or a business person who is camera shy.” The hot space is about 12 feet wide, 23 feet long and more than 15 feet high. 11th St. The spot could be “duplexed” if the buyer decides to install an elevator lift so he or she can slide both the Maserati and the Lamborghini in at the same time. The jewel in the building’s crown is the 8,000 square-foot duplex penthouse, with a private 3,000 square-foot terrace, which will be listed for $38.8 million, according to Lenz. “If you have an opportunity to buy a space in your building, you’re going to take advantage of that,” said Robert Knackal, chairman of Massey Knackal. The parking spot will have its own deed and sales contract, and be charged maintenance fees, just as a condo would. “The parking spot will go to the 8,000 square-foot town house or to the penthouse,” Fareed said. The city’s gaudiest garage is expected to hit the market this fall, after construction is complete and the Attorney General’s Office signs off on the building’s condo conversion. The parking space isn’t the only amenity: the shower water will be pumped full of vitamin C and aloe, and the apartments will have heat reflexology flooring. The sky-high price for a slab of concrete is a sign of a resurgent real-estate market, experts said. “It’s for someone who wants complete privacy,” said Prudential Douglas Elliman Vice Chairman Dolly Lenz. “You can drive in and not be seen again
05.1963 Ferrari GTO
- It is the world’s most expensive car ever.
Cost: 70 million USD
- Out of 39 GTOs that were manufactured to date, this particular GTO has won the 1963 Tour de France road race driven by Jean Guichet. According to Bloomberg, this was purchased by an anonymous buyer from Paul Pappalardo, a creative patent attorney in a private transaction
A 1962-63 GTO sold at auction in California in 2014 for $38 million. The 1963 Ferrari GTO — one of only 36 that were made — was sold in a private deal, according to Marcel Massini, the world’s top collectible Ferrari expert. “I have little doubt.”. The $70 million GTO that was purchased by MacNeil won the 1964 famed Tour de France race and came in fourth at Le Mans, Massini said. MacNeil didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Owning a GTO will put him in the most elite club in car collecting — the “GTO Club” of billionaires and multimillionaires who own what many consider to be the greatest Ferrari ever made. Previously the highest price for a car was $52 million, paid for another 1963 Ferrari GTO in 2013. “We will see a GTO sell for $100 million in the next two to three years,” he said. Ferrari GTOs are considered the biggest trophies in the car-collecting world for their rarity, power, beauty and success on the race track. Sources said the car was sold by a German collector to David MacNeil, the founder of WeatherTech, the maker of car floor mats. It’s painted in silver and yellow and despite a winning record on the track was never crashed, unlike many other GTOs. The club includes Ralph Lauren, fashion mogul Lawrence Stroll, and Walmart heir Rob Walton. A 1963 Ferrari just sold for $70 million, believed to be the highest price ever paid for a car, according to sources. But he is already an avid Ferrari collector, with several multimillion-dollar cars, sources said. Massini predicts that GTO prices will continue climbing, since the number of billionaire Ferrari collectors is growing but the number of top-quality GTO’s remains constant — with very few willing sellers.04.‘The Card Players’ (painting)
- The painting is the artwork of famous French artist Paul Cezzane that is presently owned by the Royal family of Al Thani of Qatar. This rarest of rare painting was won by Qatar for 275 million dollars in its effort to become an international intellectual hub.

Another portrait featuring a pair of card players was highlighted at the Musée d’Orsay, Paris. It is assumed that people paying cards often drink a lot but there was only an unused wine bottle in one of a painting of the two-player versions whereas in others there was an absence of drink and money. Their eyes were cast downward as they were playing the game at hand. The Card Players is an oil painting produced between 1894 and 1895 by French painter Paul Cezanne. The subjects were all male and were displayed as they were play In August 1961, The Card Players was in the hands of burglars which is now in an exhibit in Musée d’Orsay, Paris. There were a total of five paintings of the card players which was painted by Cézanne. The subjects were all male and were displayed as they were playing cards. Another can be viewed at Courtauld Institute of Art, London while the last part was sold to the royal family of Qatar. A similar piece of the painting that lacks the little boy and the rest of the picture is the same can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City. Cezanne’s portraits lacked the drama, narrative, and how to characterize figures. The painting depicts Provençal peasant’s daily life as they were smoking their pipes and playing cards.03.Villa Leopolda
