Extinct Huia Bird Feather The most expensive single feather ever sold comes from the Huia bird, a species that has not been seen since 1907 and is largely considered to be extinct. Native to the North Island of New Zealand, they were hunted for their skin to make mounted specimens as decor and their long tail feathers were also used to decorate hats and things. These birds were black with a metallic green hue, red cheeks, and males had a beautiful, long curved beak. 9. Jade In 2010, the New York Times reported the surprising news that the value of jade had surpassed that of gold in China among the country’s newly-rich citizens taking advantage of newfound opportunities for upward mobility. Over a ten-year period, the cost of jade multiplied tenfold, ultimately skyrocketing to $3,000 per ounce. 8. Million Dollar Parking Spot Anyone who’s driven in a busy city knows that finding a parking spot is often a serious hassle at best, and a complete nightmare at worst. For this reason, some people are willing to shell out big bucks for their right to occupy a space in what’s considered prime parking spot real estate. Such was the case in late 2019 in Hong Kong, which boasts some of the world’s most expensive real estate and faces an imminent housing crisis as the average person struggles desperately to keep up with the ever-increasing cost of living. 7. The World’s Most Expensive Photograph A seemingly unimportant and visually understimulating photo taken by photographer Andreas Gursky sold for an astounding $4,338,500 in late 2011. The image, titled Rhein II, features bland scenery consisting of green grass and grey strips of water and sky. It fetched the shockingly high price at a Christie’s auction, leaving critics to wonder exactly why someone would pay so much money for such an uneventful photograph. 6. Perfect Pink Diamond Ring A diamond ring nicknamed the “Perfect Pink” sold for $23 million in 2010 at a Christie’s auction in Hong Kong, making it the most expensive diamond ever sold in Asia. The sale occurred amid a spiking demand for colorful stones throughout Asia, according to The Jewelry Loupe, which also pointed out that diamonds have no problem selling for high prices in the first place. 5. Pablo Picasso Masterpiece Garçon à la pipe, or “Boy With a Pipe,” is a 1905 Pablo Picasso painting of a Parisian boy with a garland of roses and a pipe in his left hand. In 2004, an anonymous bidder paid $104 million (£58m) for the masterpiece at a Sotheby’s auction in New York City, earning it the distinction of the world’s most expensive painting at the time. The piece vastly defeated its own all-time-high pre-sale estimate of $70 million (£39.3m), going for a hammer price of $93 million (£51.9m) before commission and other associated fees. 4. Bahia Emerald The Bahia Emerald is a massive, 180,000-carat gemstone that miners unearthed inside the Carnaiba Mine in Brazil in recent years. At 4.3 feet (1.3 meters) tall and 794 pounds (341.1 kg), it’s valued at around $309 million. 3. The Card Players Painting French painter Paul Cézanne played an imperative role in bridging the gap between 19th-century Impressionism and 20th-century Cubism, according to Mental Floss. But his arguably most celebrated accomplishment is a series of five paintings called The Card Players. 2. ANTILIA Billionaire industrialist Mukesh Ambani is perhaps less known for his business ventures than he is for his $2 billion, 400,000-square-foot (37,161 meters2) mansion in Mumbai, India. The home is named Antilia after the mythical Atlantic island Antillia, a 15th-century island that reportedly sat west of Portugal and Spain before mysteriously disappearing from existence. 1. Yacht History Supreme Dubbed the world’s most expensive yacht ever built, the History Supreme made international headlines in 2019, nine years after a Malaysian businessman reportedly purchased it for a jaw-dropping $4.8 billion. Robert Kuok, the richest man in Malaysia and the second-richest man in Southeast Asia, supposedly purchased the 98.4-foot (30 meters) vessel in 2011.
