Most people want to possess what no one else has, and even more so the most expensive things in the world. The pursuit of unique and expensive items has been going on since time immemorial, and this kind of kind of competition will always be relevant.
To give a definite answer to the question of which thing is the most expensive in the world is impossible. For each person, a certain country and nationality, type of religion, there are values. For example, a person who loves cars will never understand the passion of a philatelist or a fan of painting and literature. It’s prestigious for someone to have expensive accessories and jewelry, and someone is ready to give crazy money for a piece of ancient dishes or a mammoth bone. But still there are things that are worth nothing more expensive if we talk about objects, and not about feelings and moral values.
The most expensive minerals
The cost of minerals and precious metals or stones that are necessary for the normal existence of a person and the development of new technologies is not so high, it constantly fluctuates and cannot serve as a measure for recognizing a person as super-rich, but there are gifts of the bowels of the earth whose price is simply amazing.
The most expensive mineral extracted from the bowels of the earth is paintite, which was discovered in Burma back in 1956. At the moment, only 125 specimens of this stone have been found, which are stored in the country where they were discovered. The cost of one such pebble is more than 9000 euros.
The most valuable objects of art and culture
If you do not mean painting and sculpture, which are usually stored in museums, then the most expensive thing sold at auction and belonging to art can be called a porcelain vase, which was bought for $ 5 million. The case of the comics about Spider-Man and jeans trousers, which were sewn 115 years ago for a lot of money, is also unique.
