15 Of The Most Expensive Things Ever Purchased. This Stuff Is Beyond
Awesome
- Feather of a Huia bird -$10,000: This is the most valuable feather in the
world, since it once belonged to a Huia bird, which is now extinct. The
bird’s plumage was traditionally used to adorn Maori chiefs.
- Manhattan Parking Spot – $1 million: This parking spot in downtown
Manhattan was sold for six times the average cost of an American home.
As any New York City driver knows, that’s a bargain!
- Crystal Piano – $3.2 million: This crystal piano was used for the Beijing
Olympic Games, and it was purchased at auction by a private bidder for a
record $3.22 million U.S. dollars! I bet it sounds like pure gold.
- “Dead Shark” Art Piece – $12 million: Most often referred to as “Dead
Shark” (but officially named The Physical Impossibility of Death in the
Mind of Someone Living), this piece was created in 1991 by English artist
Damien Hirst. It’s made of a tiger shark preserved in formaldehyde. It was
purchased by an anonymous hedge fund manager.
