laying around well what if I told you they could be worth up to 1.2 million dollars that's right now that I got your attention the Honus Wagner card made with the T 206 cards production from 1909 to 1911 is worth just that much Wagner was a shortstop for the Pittsburgh Pirates during the turn of the 20th century with less than 50 cards made Honus Wagner refused American tobacco company's request to use his image on tobacco products which led the company to end the production of his card I told the tobacco company back then I don't want my picture on a ball card with only a grade of a two on a one to ten scale by professional sports authenticators only six of these cards have been graded higher than this million dollar Jim making the sale of this card a true treasure each time the card has

what is the solution well why not just buy their home and live happily ever after but too bad were not Albury Graham that's right 33 year old rapper known as Drake actually bought his neighbor's house after it only cost him a mere two and a half million dollars which is just a drop in a bucket when it comes to this Toronto mansion worth over 100 million dollars the newly acquired estate is on one acre of land with the home averaging 4,000 square feet hardwood floors high ceilings and a top-of-the-line gourmet kitchen which is still only about 1/2 of the square foot of Drake's remarkable home sure Dre can now enjoy his home with peace of mind which costs him just a few measly million dollars this problem isn't the solution the neighbor was hoping for but talk about being in the right place at the right time number 12 purchase the most expensive junk cars one of the most intriguing supercar collections in the world worth over twenty two billion dollars belongs to the sultan of brunei located in the northwest corner of borneo this tiny nation has a collection of cars that takes up anywhere from six to twenty miles of road just a park sounds like a colossal traffic jam to me boasting some of the most rare cars in the world from Ferrari to BMW to Lamborghini most of which haven't even been started in years imagine the maintenance bills the youngest of the soten brothers Prince Jeffrey is responsible for most of the purchases spending over four hundred and seventy five million dollars at rolls-royce alone humidity and the conditions the cars are now kept in have played a huge part in most of the cars being deemed not drivable most of the cars were bought in the same model and same color as their motto was to get as many as we can get of anything we can get it's no wonder that they ran out of money in 1997 resulting in prince jeffrey signing an agreement to return assets owning over 600 properties in over 2,000 cars hundreds of paintings and under a dozen boats and aircraft number 11 create alien art we are wonder if there is life out there in space well sheikh hamad a member of the royal family of abu dhabi must have had plans to welcome the extra-terrestrial with open arms his project covering a mass area of up to a mile wide and a third of a mile across in the uninhibited island of Abu Dhabi included a series of winding canals in the southern end of the bootys island that spells out the name hamid so deep that it can be seen from space too bad the project was never completed about halfway through the completion of the project the name vanished members of the shack Hamid's Abu Dhabi office hired to erase the project claimed they were simply hired to do a job and wouldn't disclose why or when it's rumored that the image didn't fit into the Abu Dhabi 2030 plans which was launched back in 2008 including modernized transportation networks of blossoming art scene and millions of dollars in spending well it was pretty innovative while it lasted spend a million on a parking spot if you had 1 million dollars what would you spend it on how about a parking spot if you've ever been to New York City then you know how dire the parking situation is but I don't know if it's worth a million dollars that's more than four times the median sale price of an average home in America a new development on 42 Crosby Street will push every limit of New York City real estate offering parking spaces that are worth more than the luxury apartments being sold upstairs that's right for the price of a luxury home in Dallas or a home with the modern amenities in Seattle you can buy a 1500 square foot garage for your car in New York averaging 250,000 dollars per tire but hurry they're being sold on a first-come first-served basis I'm sure that line is all the way to New Jersey buy the world's most expensive painting how much would you be willing to pay for an original Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece well what about one that may or may not be an original that brings us to the famous Salvator Mundi it's one of the most talked-about old master paintings of our times this speculated Leonardo da Vinci original has been questioned for its authenticity spectators believe this is simply a copy of a lost original veiled with over painting others claiming it was an original of the studio of da Vinci claiming to have been painted by one of his students but this restored painting has been a mystery ever since it's come to surface since appearing in a major Leonardo exhibition at the National Gallery in London in 2011 2012 the painting sold at over 450 million dollars to Saudi Arabians supreme ruler Mohammed bin Salam since acquiring the painting there are many speculations as to where it's being held as it's never been seen again many believe Muhammad bin Salam wished the painting away on his yacht the serene which has been seen near the Netherland coast spend 3.1 million dollars on dinner talk about being a foodie when you're the sushi king there's no limit to the price you pay for fresh sushi right for about six hundred and thirteen pounds of sushi now that changes the game for Kyoshi Kimura owner of the sushi sashimi chain Kimura paid over 3.1 million dollars for a bluefin tuna at Tokyo's fish market commenting on how fat and fresh the tuna looked even though he was happy with his purchase even Kimura himself believed he possibly paid too much for the catch cut off the northern coast of Japan sushi made from this tuna could cost customers anywhere around three hundred dollars per piece the bluefin tuna is now believed to be an endangered species making this cell even more unique I'm sure that 3.1 million dollars will never be recovered but the delight on that face of his customers will be priceless buy a Lamborghini covered and crystals if you've ever wondered what it's like to drive luxury we'll get ready to be taken on a ride how would you like to take a ride through London in a Lamborghini dripping in Swarovski crystals Russian Instagram model Daraa radionova has broken the mold when it comes to being flashy by doing just that that's right she took a five hundred thousand dollar car and covered it in over two million Swarovski crystals the most extreme move the motto has made boasting a pretty flashy luxury car collection Daraa likes everything gold or crystal explaining why she covered not only this Lamborghini but also another Lamborghini she owns and also a Bentley I wouldn't want to compete with her in a car show but I'd sure love to go for a ride [Music] by a zebra for the living room how would you like to own a tiger shark sounds pretty dangerous right well famous yet extremely controversial artist Damien Hirst has come up with just the solution just kill it first then put it in a tank duh why didn't we think of that well maybe because animal rights enthusiasts would be knocking at our door Damien Hirst's iconic tiger shark creation named the physical impossibility of death in the mind of someone living as well as many other controversial pieces has been said to have killed over 1 million creatures in the name of art with creatures ranging from cows to sheep to pigs the artist has no problem displaying the animal from the inside out and some of the most famous pieces include the internal organs and skeletons having a career of over 30 years hurts art first appeared in the early 1990s although most of the animals were dead before he acquired them most of them were said to have been killed in the name of art I'd say that's a pretty hefty price to pay to become one of the most famous artists in the world spend hundreds on frozen water when you hear the words luxury ice what do you think of probably some sort of jewelry possibly diamonds right wrong we're talking about cold hard ice a California company by the name of glassy ice has taken luxury to a whole nother level this just isn't some regular Ice Cube glass a ice will cost you roughly three hundred and twenty-five dollars for fifty cubes they're made in cubed or sphere shapes which the company believes promotes minimum dilution and maximum cooling in its purified of minerals additives and other pollutants before reaching the customer this ice is to be enjoyed with premium spirits which the company believes greatly enhances enjoyment at the point of consumption next time you have an extra three hundred and twenty-five dollars try it out and let me know how pure it tastes because this frozen water is out of my budget blow $60,000 on a phone bill remember a time Galaxies ago before talking texts were unlimited yet me either but apparently that happened not only did it happen but it resulted in phone bills upwards of over five thousand dollars per month for known New York socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein otherwise known as Catwoman for her extensive plastic surgery altering her appearance to look like a feline once married to billionaire Alec Wildenstein Jocelyn was used to a life of luxury spending 1 million dollars per month while married once widely regarded as one of the wealthiest women in the United States after receiving two and a half million dollars in a divorce settlement in 1999 as well as over $100,000 in maintenance fees the now bankrupt socialite has nothing to show for it currently living off her nine hundred dollars per month Social Security allowance reports have claimed that Jocelyn received art in the divorce settlement as part of her trust agreement which was later determined to be fraudulent as well as the family cutting off the $100,000 fees from their trust after 17 years I'm sure that was one heck of a reality check by a 500 year old book never heard the expression a penny for your thoughts well what if I told you instead of a pity one day they might be worth thirty point eight million dollars Bill Gates one of the most wealthy people in the world is known for anything but frivolous spending but there's one item he couldn't resist in 1994 before Bill Gates was deemed the richest man in the world Gates couldn't help from splurging on Leonardo da Vinci's journal Codex Leicester making this one of the most expensive books ever sold this document with over 72 pages was written between 1506 and 1510 and includes ideas about astronomy mathematics botany and architecture fascinated by da Vinci's Renaissance way of thinking Bill Gates is now the proud owner of the journal now being one of the only people that can share Leonardo's sense of curiosity with the world to further preserve the book which is mounted behind glass gates launched a project that turned the book into an interactive kiosk with touch screen which now allows others to explore the mind of Leonardo as well purchase an abandoned storage unit we always hear one man's trash is another man's treasure but this Long Island New York couple takes that expression to a whole new level I'm sure when the couple bought an old storage unit for $100 back in 1989 they never would have guessed it would have made them rich underneath blankets and other rubble set the 1977 Lotus Esprit the very same car used in the James Bond movie The Spy Who Loved me in the movie the super car magically transformed into a missile-firing submarine this would only be important to someone that has seen the movie though right the anonymous couple that had never seen a movie quickly realized what they had after pastor bys notified them through the radio that they were transporting the James Bond car they spent decades displaying the car in museums before deciding to sell it in auction to a secret buyer for nearly 1 million dollars that was later revealed as the creator of Tesla Elon Musk who plans to use Tesla technology to turn the nine submarine into a real transformer not just a fictional one now this I can't wait to see flush it down the toilet you might want to brace yourself this one can get pretty cheeky if you had millions of dollars worth of gold where would you put it how about on your toilet that's right artist maritza el Katalin creator of the 18 karat gold masterpiece wanted to create this vision so that the 99% could experience the 1% thus naming the piece America the gold commode was first put on exhibit back in 2016 at the Guggenheim in New York City where over 100,000 people waited patiently in line to use the fully functioning masterpiece after no more than 24 hours of moving the piece to a larger exhibit containing even more of Catalans work at Blenheim Palace
