just went down a rabbit hole about the most expensive thing in the world and honestly it's wild. so apparently some yacht called History Supreme is worth like $4.5 billion? that's not even the biggest yacht out there but it's covered in gold and platinum everything. like the deck, railings, anchor - all gold. three years to design it. insane.

but here's what got me - before that there's this mansion in Mumbai called Antilia worth $2 billion. 27 stories, 9 elevators, a home theater with 50 seats. owned by some Indian billionaire. i can't even imagine what you'd do with that much space.

then you got the art people spending crazy money on. some Cezanne painting called The Card Players going for $275 million. a Picasso for $104 million. like i get that art is subjective but that's another level entirely.

oh and Jeff Bezos apparently bought a $42 million clock that's supposed to run for 10,000 years. a CLOCK. also owns a $165 million house in Beverly Hills. the most expensive thing in the world could just be whatever rich people decide to flex on that week honestly.

there's even a preserved shark in formaldehyde that sold for $8 million lol. Damien Hirst made it. so technically that dead shark is one of the most expensive thing in the world. that's the kind of wealth flex i don't understand at all
