10 MOST EXPENSIVE THINGS IN THE WORLD
Hey, ever wondered how the world's super-rich spend their money?
Here’s a hint…not wisely!
Your Angelina Jolies, Chris Browns, and Kanyes are sparing no expenses on trendy outfits, jewelry, cars, and a tonne on other expensive things - most of which they don't need, but they’ll buy anyway.
Then there is the other class of tech billionaires, CEOs, tycoons, and royal families who are in a league of their own.
They will buy the most ridiculous things at the most ridiculous prices and quite frankly for most, the limit is their imagination.
That’s why, today we’re looking at 10 of the most expensive things in the world owned by millionaires and billionaires.
If you’re driving, I suggest you get a spot to park first.

#10. Manhattan Parking Spot - $1 million
How much would you pay for a parking spot? Well, some condos in New York City are asking $1 million for parking space.
Whether you're a resident driving within the city or you’re visiting from out of town, finding a spot to park in New York can be frustrating.
That’s why reliable parking spots that offer some bit of privacy and security for parked vehicles have become the new standard for luxury in the Big Apple.
In 2016 a new 50,000 sq. ft. condominium at 42 Crosby Street was launched and among the myriad perks the new residents would enjoy was private parking pads in the building’s underground parking garage.
The slots were limited, with only 10 spots available on a first come first serve basis.
The price? A-million-dollars apiece.
Owners could access the underground parking via a car elevator. Each parking spot was a single-car slot with storage space and a charging station included.
The Soho condominiums sold out; each of the nine 3-bdr residences went for close to $8 million and the penthouse went for $25 million.
You’d think the astronomical parking fee would discourage buyers, but the million-dollar parking spots sold-out as well.

#9. Magnetic Floating Bed - $1.5 million
A levitating bed that literally makes you float in the air and sleep soundly.
No electricity required here. The bed floats by the power of permanent magnets built into the floor and the slab that makes the bed itself.
The magnetic materials repel each other to keep the bed adrift. So that the bed doesn’t slide off the opposing magnetic field, thin steel cables are fixed on the four corners of the slab to tether it in place.
Quite a simple mechanism won’t you say?
Apparently not.
This floating slab took Dutch architect Janjaap Ruijssenaars six years of his life to build and his groundbreaking innovation became the first ever non-gravity-based object in the world.
Two models were produced in different sizes.
The standard sized model, which was dubbed Falling up 1:1 measures 1.3m by 3m with a floating height of 40cm and a 1 metric tonne lifting force. This thing can support up to 10 people in the air!
The other model produced was a much smaller 26cm by 60cm mini-sized slab with a floating height of 8cm and a carrying capacity of 80Kg. It was dubbed Falling up 1:5 and it’s not clear why he built this model too small for anyone to sleep in.
Unless he meant it for the already spoilt millionaire pooches. In which case, it must be the most expensive dog bed you’ll find.

#8. Bluefin Tuna - $3.1 million
A 150g can of tuna at Walmart.com ranges about $2 and $4. However, in January 2019, a single 278 kg tuna was sold for a staggering $3.1 million!
That’s over $1650 per 150g piece.
Looks like somebody was ripped-off but that’s not the case.
You see, canned tunas from the grocery store come from a species of smaller tuna called albacore. They average about 5kg to 15 kgs.
Not so big.
The massive 278kg tuna, on the other hand, comes from a much larger species of tuna called the Pacific bluefin tuna.
This particular species of tuna is sought after for its range of flavors from different cuts as well as its intense marbling texture. This is the tuna they’ll serve you at high-end sushi restaurants.
However, because the species almost went extinct owing to overfishing, regulations for responsible fishing make them a rare commodity.
Restaurant owners acknowledge the scarcity of bluefin tuna and are willing to pay top dollar for it.
Bluefin tuna from Japan is especially considered to be the best. And since it has to travel a lot farther to get to different parts of the world, the price goes further up.
And then there is the age-old Japanese tradition of auctioning all high-end fish. This makes the prices even more varied on the higher end.
