Just went down this rabbit hole about the most expensive thing you can actually buy and honestly some of these are wild. Like there's a yacht that costs 4.5 billion dollars. A YACHT. The History Supreme apparently has gold and platinum everywhere - the railings, the deck, literally everything. Some Malaysian hotel guy supposedly owns it.



Then there's this house in Mumbai called Antilia that's worth 2 billion. It's 27 stories tall with helipads and a 50-seat movie theater. The owner is apparently India's richest person. Can't even imagine having that kind of money.

But here's what got me - there's a dead shark in a tank that sold for 8 million. An actual preserved shark in formaldehyde. Some artist named Damien Hirst made it and a hedge fund billionaire bought it. That's the kind of most expensive thing that makes zero sense but somehow works in the art world.

The paintings are insane too. One Picasso went for 104 million, and there's a Cezanne worth 275 million. Real estate, yachts, art, watches covered in diamonds - apparently if you're stupid rich you can just decide something is worth billions and someone will buy it.

Honestly makes you think about what 'expensive' even means at that level. You checking your bank account before buying anything? Yeah, these people aren't doing that.
