TOP Most Expensive Things in the World.. Its Crazy!!

 

The word expensive itself gives its introduction. According to Word Dictionary, it means costing a lot of money. Items like a watch, piano, iPhone, fish eggs, a matter of fact even a feather, which we can purchase in a range of 1000k-20000k max, you will be surprised to see that it can cost you more than you can imagine. And Man!!! There are people out there who won't mind having those items in their possession. Well, they earned it. I would love to have them too!!

There are many reasons why these items are so costly. According to what I have read and my understanding is, it's the hard work that goes behind just making a simple item into an expensive one. Also, not to forget the history behind these things. As long as there are Masters of Imaginations, who can turn a hundred-dollar item into million-dollar art by making these beautiful and exotic items, there will be people who can afford them and appreciate them. Ready to pay, whatever it may cost. So I have listed few Masterpieces which are just not expensive, but there are Piece Of Art and History. They made their landmark in their way. 

Feather: Extinct Huia Bird:

The Huia is an extinct species of New Zealand wattlebird, endemic to the North Island of New Zealand. The last confirmed sighting of a huia was in 1907. Although, there were credible sightings into the 1960s and traditionally used for the adornment of Maori chiefs. 

Huia feather was auctioned online for under $NZ1000 ($808), but their authenticity was questionable, as per the Dominion Post reported. This specimen was verified as authentic by experts from New Zealand's national museum, Te Papa. Its value lies in it that it is the ruminant of an extinct bird Huia. 

It went for almost $10,000 at an auction in New Zealand. Who would have thought one feather could earn you thousands of Dollars?

Cigar: Gurkha Black Dragon:

Gurkha’s Black Dragon is a high-end blend of   ultra-premium tobaccos, designed for only the most dedicated cigar devotees, enthusiasts, fans. These enthusiasts are also known as Cigar Aficionados.

The definition of Aficionado is “a person who likes, knows about, and appreciates a usually fervently pursued interest or activity: DEVOTEE.” The term is rooted in the Spanish verb Aficonar, which means “to inspire affection”. 

Gurkha got another trick up its mighty sleeve and called the Black Dragon. Ultra-rare and hard to find, the 5-year aged Black Dragon Cigar features a wonderfully aged Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper with a blend of cured Dominican long filler with an aged Cameroonian binder. Released in 2006 as a limited-edition line, The Black Dragon contains an international mix of tobaccos beneath its rich leafy shell. At $115,000 a box or $1,150 per cigar, Gurkha’s The Black Dragon cigars are both absurdly expensive and prestigious. 

These cigars are rarely available and, a box will cost you $23,000, being a limited edition that comes in a hand-carved camel bone chest.
