Pigeon

The most expensive pigeon in the world was sold to a wealthy Chinese buyer, who shelled out $200,000 at a Belgium auction for a highly pedigreed racing pigeon.  Known as Blue Prince, this ‘designer’ pigeon seems a breed apart from the plump, trash-foraging birds commonly seen in urban parks.  Currently living out his retirement on a Chinese roof top,  Blue Prince is no longer expected to race, but was purchased to breed more speedy champions like himself.

Most Expensive Cat Breed

most expensive cat
A Bengal named Asia
Is $42,000 too much to pay for a house cat? Well, various sources have reported that a London, England resident didn’t think so when she purchased her second-generation Bengal cat in 1998 for about £25,320. This expensive cat was listed in the Guinness’ number one spot for most expensive cat breed purchased. They aren’t normally that expensive, but they don’t come cheap. Bengals can cost anywhere from $970 – $4000. The International Cat Association, recognizes the Bengal as a pedigree of cat, however the Cat Fanciers’ Association, the largest and oldest registry of cats, does not. This is because they have ‘wild’ or ‘non-domestic’ blood in their recent heritage. The second-generation Bengal in question was reportedly a hybrid of a wild Asian leopard cat bred with a domestic one.
Ashera GD
An “Ashera”
British entrepreneur Simon Brodie also offered some expensive cats—the hypoallergenic cat by Allerca for $6,000 and the Ashera by Lifestyle Pets for $28,000. The hypoallergenic claim, however, was never independently proven and three Ashera cats seized on their way to the Netherlands were proven to be resold Savannah cats originally from a US breeder.
Any cat may provide a (feline) lifetime of entertainment and companionship for their owners. However, a new Lexus convertible and a cat from the SPCA might be a better way to spend your money than $40,000+ for the most expensive cat in the world.

Most Expensive Cocktail in the World

If you frequently enjoy going out on the town for drinks, then you are probably familiar with paying too much for cocktails. Even so, the price of the most expensive cocktail in the world may surprise some, but won’t set back a high roller.
On February 5th, 2007, Guinness World Records held a special ceremony to crown an original Trader Vic’s Mai Tai the most expensive cocktail in the world, if you can afford £750 per cocktail then head on over to the Merchant Hotel in Belfast in Northern Ireland. This Mai Tai is made from 17-year-old Wray and Nephew Rum used by trader Vic Bergeron to create the original Mai Tai over sixty years ago.
world's most expensive cocktailEven though the 750ml bottle of rum looks nondescript, the rum fetches £26,000 per bottle. A rare batch of the 17-year-old rum was recently acquired with one bottle being purchased by Merchant’s Bar. So far, only three of the world’s most expensive cocktails have been made. The drinks are served with only £750 ($1480) added to your tab.
From the recent Belfast Telegraph article about the expensive cocktail:
“Nobody else in the world can do this cocktail, we’re the only bar,” explained the Merchant’s Bar and Potation Manager Sean Muldoon.

“We made a normal Mai Tai and put it against the proper Mai Tai and it was a completely different ball game,” said Mr. Muldoon. “When you get a real Mai Tai you can really taste the alcohol.”
There are only 15 servings left of this most expensive cocktail- better get yours now.

World's Most Expensive Vodka


Diaka Vodka, is the world’s most expensive vodka. The vodka comes in a bottle made with crystals, but this is not what makes it most expensive. It’s actually the filtration process of the vodka that makes it exclusive. The Diaka Vodka is made in Poland where they use nearly one hundred diamonds of up to one carat in size, to filter the spirit resulting in vodka with unsurpassed clarity and smoothness. The diamond-vodka is only available by TransBorder Spirits in USA.

World's Most Expensive Rum


world's most expensive, world's most expensive alcoholic beverage, world's most expensive rum

Usually when we are talking about the world's most expensive spirits we are either dealing with some form of wine or with whiskey but what about the humble bottle of rum? The bottle shown here, bottled in the 1940s by the Jamaican distillers Wray and Nephew, and containing blends that date back as far as around 1915 has the honor of being what is believed to be the world's most expensive bottle of rum. The bottle which is being displayed at Europe's first rum festival, RumFest, is valued at £26,000. The bottle, which is one of four unopened bottles of the stuff in the world, represents the lost tradition of the Wray and Nephew Rum. The popularity of the Mai Tai cocktail drained their rum supplies in the 1930s. In order to keep up with demand, the distillery changed their production methods. The bottle therefore represents the chance to the Mai Tai as it was originally conceived. That is, if anyone ever opens the bottle.

World’s Most Expensive Beers

Beer is one of the oldest drinks known to man—and one of this writer’s favorites. While many people enjoy drinking light and less expensive beer, there are still some beer connoisseurs out there. If you don’t believe it, then check out the proof -the world’s most expensive beers.
Tutankhamun Ale


Tutankhamun Ale – $52 per bottle
This expensive beer has a peculiar history. It’s brewed in a Cambridge laboratory from a recipe discovered in the Queen Nefertiti’s Temple of the Sun in Egypt. The beer is named after the queen’s stepson, more commonly known as King Tut. The temple, which housed a brewery, is believed to have been built by King Akenhaten, Tut’s predecessor and likely father. This beer is also limited and may be purchased for $52 per bottle.


Samuel Adams Utopias – $100 per bottle
Samuel Adams
Vintage No. 1 may be four times as expensive as Samuel Adams/Boston Beer Company’s Utopias, the former most expensive beer, but Utopias still holds a Guinness World Record for being the strongest beer at 50 proof.
Utopias was brewed with a blend of high-quality hops and sold in an ornate copper-plated brew kettle and offers a flavor unlike any other expensive beer or beverage in the world. The sweet flavor is richly highlighted with hints of vanilla, oak and caramel. The expensive beer is non-carbonated and should be served at room temperature.
Production of Utopias was limited to 8,000 bottles.


Carlsberg Vintage 3 – $348 per bottle
Carlsberg Vintage 3
The Carlsberg Group, a brewing company founded in 1847 and named after founder J. C. Jacobsen’s son Carl, is best known for their light-bodied lager, Carlsberg Pilsner (also known as Carlsberg Beer or Carlsberg Hof). In 2008, however, Carlsberg introduced another beer guaranteed to be linked to the Carlsberg name in the public consciousness, Vintage 1.
Vintage 3 is the third in the trilogy of beers created from 2008 to 2010. At the time of its launch, the “pale barley wine” was the only available beer to have been aged in French Côte d’Or oak barrels in the Carlsberg founder’s original cellar. Only 1,000 bottles of this exclusive beer were hand tapped and labeled with art by Kaspar Bonnén and two artists selected from the Radiant Copenhagen project.
The price of Vintage 1, 2,008 Danish kroner, reflected the year it was introduced. The brewer introduced Vintage 2 in 2009 and Vintage 3 in 2010, priced at 2,009 and 2,010 kroner respectively.


Brewdog’s “The End of History” – $765 per bottle
World's Most Expensive Beers - Brewdog's The End of History
Well, PETA is going to have a field day with this one. Scottish brewery BrewDog has produced a beer served in bottles as shocking as the beer’s extremely high alcoholic content.
Only eleven bottles of this expensive beer, named after a book by philosopher Francis Fukuyama, were produced. The blond Belgian ale, infused with nettles from the Scottish Highlands and fresh juniper berries, is 55 percent alcohol and will be BrewDog’s final high ABV beer.
The bottles, however, are the beer’s most striking aspect–each one is encased in a squirrel or weasel stuffed by a gifted taxidermist. The four grey squirrels and seven weasels selected were all roadkill, however, so their immortalization as beer bottles may actually be considered more respectful than ignominious roadside decomposition.


Antarctic Nail Ale – $800
World's Most Expensive Beers - Antarctic Nail Ale
If your conscience rails at the thought of drinking beer clothed in roadkill, perhaps you’ll find this entry on our list of the world’s most expensive beers more to your taste. Australia’s Nail Brewing Company has been brewing craft beer for nearly a decade, and their limited edition Antarctic Nail Ale sold at auction for a record-breaking price. Best of all, that money is going straight to charity.
This expensive beer was brewed with actual Antarctic ice. Only thirty bottles were produced, and the number one bottle was sold by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society at an auction in Fremantle, Western Australia.
Sea Shepherd opposes whaling in the Antarctic sanctuary. They are also selling bottles numbered two through ten to support their cause. The number one bottle was purchased by the Elliot Syndicate.

Most Expensive Wines in the World

The word wine has its root from the ancient Greek word for vines, vinos. Grapevines produces lush grapes which are then fermented to create the popular yet sophisticated alcoholic drink we know as wine. In many areas, the English word wine and its synonyms in different languages are protected by law, as other beverages similar to wine can be produced from fruits, rice, flowers and honey.
At the highest end, rare, super-expensive wines are often the costliest item on the menu, and exceptional vintages from the best vineyards may sell for thousands of dollars per bottle. Expensive red wines with their complex subtleties are traditionally more costly than other expensive wines.
Here are the most expensive wines in the world.

World's Most Expensive Wines - Shipwrecked 1907 Heidsieck
Shipwrecked 1907 Heidsieck

Now they’re finally being sold—to wealthy guests at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Moscow, at least. Of course, the wine’s extraordinary tale and incredible age are what makes it the world’s most expensive wine.

World’s Most Expensive Neck Tie

Views on neckties tend to vary widely. To some, a necktie is a symbol of success and/or authority. To others, it can be seen as a leash or even a phallic symbol.

World’s Most Expensive Men's Sneaker

World’s Most Expensive Jacket

During an exhibition of the Graphic Design Museum in the Netherlands they show world’s most expensive jacket by Silke Wawro. The jacket consists of 7541 original labels from existing brands like Issey Miyake.

The original price of the clothing with the labels equals $1026742,71. The designer wants to make a statement that clothing is about style and not high prices.
When the German designer Wawro was plucking labels he noticed that some expensive clothing come from the same Chinese factories as the clothing from budget brands like H&M.
It could be that people buy overpriced clothing for the brand and for the excitement. With this jacket the designer wants to make a statement about the irrational brand beliefs.
Do you agree that people are thriven by brands and the feeling when buying something luxurious?

World’s Most Expensive Mangoes

most expensive, most expensive food, most expensive mango

This is about the world's most expensive mango and it hails from japan. Two “Eggs of the Sun” mangos, named for their vivid coloration, were recently auctioned off for $2,000 in southern Japan.  Holy shit 2 million bucks for a pair of mangoes. Last 2 million buck thing i posted was a Bra modeled by sexy Adriana Lima. If Americans were going to spend that kind of money on a pair, it would the kind of fruit you keep in a bra.

Most Expensive Dress Shirt

They say the clothes make the man. That’s probably less true today than when you could tell a man’s occupation by the hat he wore, but if it’s true of anything then it’s true of the world’s most expensive shirt.

Swedish shirt-making company Eton, celebrating their 80th birthday, created this shirt out of the finest Egyptian cotton. Of course, it couldn’t be the most expensive shirt in the world without a few diamonds. Both the studs and the cufflinks are encrusted with diamonds—white diamonds on the cufflinks and colored diamonds on the studs.
As if that isn’t enough, the dress shirt will be touring the world before it’s sold at auction next year. The luxurious shirt will make stops in Milan, LA, Stockholm and a few other places with Eton stores.
The most expensive shirt is valued at £23,000 (over $45,000). Proceeds from its sale will go to charity.

World’s Most Expensive sweater

How would you like to gain a piece of television and fashion history while helping out children with learning difficulties? Bid on one of the most expensive sweaters and you may be able to do just that.

Erinn Cosby, one of Bill Cosby’s four daughters, is auctioning off three of her famous father’s notorious sweaters “just in time for Father’s Day.” Bidding starts on June 2nd and proceeds from the sale of the three sweaters will go to the Hello Friend/Ennis William Cosby foundation.

When playing Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable on The Cosby Show (1984-1992), Bill Cosby most often wore shirts with loud, geometric, swirling and/or patchwork patterns. This habit gave rise to the term “Cosby sweater,” used to describe similar sweaters.

Bill and Camille Cosby set up Hello Friend after the murder of their son, Ennis Cosby, while he was studying for his master’s degree in education at Columbia University. Having struggled with dyslexia as a child, he wished to become a special education teacher. The Ennis William Cosby Foundation seeks to help teachers address the needs of children with similar difficulties.

The most expensive sweaters are being auctioned on eBay. Bidding starts at $5,000.

world's most expensive men’s shoe

 While some will always consider hand made shoes the best and probably most expensive men’s shoes in the world, distinguished brands have come out with quite expensive ready made shoes. What is the most expensive men’s shoe?
Forbes published a year ago a list of most expensive shoes for men that were ready made and their list included names such as Salvatore Ferragamo, Prada, Edward Green, John Lobb, New & Lingwood, and Berluti. Topping the list were the distinctive Berluti shoes which fetch a mere $1,830 per pair.
Still when considering the cost of the more elaborate designs in women’s shoes, these expensive men’s shoes do not seem all that pricey. Maybe its that modern day men will just not accept shoes with jewels adorning them.

World’s Most Expensive Jeans

Jeans use to be the popular worker’s denim trousers have become modern day fashion and status symbols. Talking about the world's most expensive Jeans, designer jeans come in and out of popularity but in the early 2000s, expensive jeans started coming back into fashion with brands such as APO Jeans, Chip and Pepper, Paper Denim & Cloth, Seven for All Mankind, True Religion and many other brands costing $200 or more per pair.

The Guinness Book of Records listed a pair of Gucci Genius jeans featuring elaborate feathers, beads, rips and buttons as most expensive jeans off-the-rack at a cost of $3,134 and Forbes once showcased Escada’s Swarovski crystal-encrusted jeans that sold for US $10,000.
Levi Strauss Company bid $46,532 to buy a pair of their own brand of denim pants back on the popular auction site eBay. However, the most expensive old jeans were an average pair of 501 jeans manufactured in the 1880s and purchased by a Japanese collector in 2005 for $60,000.
None of those prices, however, can even hold a candle to that commanded by Dussault 

Apparel’s Trashed Denim line of luxury jeans. These men’s jeans are handmade using a special process where they are washed thirteen times, with dying and painting performed between each washing to add depth to the jeans. That’s not all, though, as each pair of Trashed Denim jeans is adorned with sixteen 1-carat rubies, twenty-six .05-carat rubies, eight .05-carat diamonds and 1080 grams of 18k white or rose gold.

So how much are the most expensive jeans in the world? Try a quarter-million dollars. That’s right; Dussault Apparel’s Trashed Denim jeans are priced at $250,000. They can be purchased at the Dussault store in Los Angeles or Kustom in New York City.

Martin Blunos, who has held two Michelin stars for over fifteen years, has answered that question with what is likely the most expensive cheese sandwich in the world.
The sandwich, unveiled at the Frome Cheese Show in Somerset, is made with a cornucopia of fine ingredients.

The cheese itself is also notable—West Country vintage farmhouse cheddar blended with white truffle.
This savory sandwich cost £111 (US $170) to create, and it is currently being considered for a Guinness World Record.

most expensive mushroom in the world



The matsutake, or mattake, mushroom is costly since of its fewness and probably the most expensive mushroom in the world. However its historic occurrence projected it was nearly synonymous with autumn in Japan; the introduction of a pest that kills the trees under which the mushroom grows has triggered a intense decrease in the quantity of matsutake mushrooms. A method for agricultural the matsutake has yet to be established, which means the absence of trees from which to yield these mushrooms logically is a serious drawback for the species.

Master baker Paul Hollywood, creator of the bread, calls it the “Rolls-Royce of loafs.” The bread, which contains no additives and no artificial flavors, is made with grade A flour from a specialist miller and France’s finest Roquefort cheese.
The bread, recognized as Britain’s most expensive by the National Association of Master Bakers, will be sold at Harrods for £15 (US $24.50). They expect the bread will do particularly well during the holiday season.

world’s most expensive cocktail


The world’s most expensive cocktail contains a diamond ring instead of an olive! The drink, created by Harvey Nichols in Manchester, has to be escorted to diner’s tables flanked by security guards. The dazzle cocktail contains a six and a half carrot pink tourmaline and diamond ring set in 18-carrot white gold. The drink was the brainchild of senior bartender Jay Malik, 24, who was asked to devise a drink to fit with the restaurant’s Pink Dinners month. A special safe has been brought in for the bar to keep the rings in and customers can choose any ring they want from the range – the most expensive being a 27,000 pounds sterling two-carrot engagement ring

world's most expensive tea

TWG makes Singapore's most famous tea, and I had the good fortune of attending the opening day of their ION Orchard tea shop, where you can sample 400 teas from their 800-plus tea collection and purchase not only tea, but macaroons and tea accessories, as well.

Naturally, as a Luxist writer, I went straight for the gold -- the Yellow Gold Tea Buds (above), that is. Tea number T601 is not only TWG's, but the world's most expensive tea. Why? Because it's difficult to get -- and painted with actual gold.


I spoke for a bit with TWG tea connoisseur Alexandre Mallochet (his hand is pictured) about the tea and why it is so valuable -- $150 Singapore for 50 grams (that's about $105.71 -- and a typical teabag is about 2 grams, so that's 25 cups of tea).

To start with, it's only harvested on one mountain, one day per year. "This tea is harvested exclusively with golden scissors and only from the top of the tree which is the tea bud. It's then sun dried and placed into closed containers to slightly heat the tea leaves so they can release the polyphenols that they contain and give a yellowish colour to the leaves and a very soft and flowery taste," said Mallochet. The tea is then painted with 24 carat gold flakes which, in Asia, are considered very good for you, and give the tea a beautiful golden shimmer. Mallochet claims that the gold provides nutrition, as well -- it's a mineral, after all.

"It's the tea of the Emperors of China and it is still today very complicated to find some. TWG can access to this tea thanks the privileged relationships we cultivated through the years of sourcing tea plantations worldwide."

At this time, the tea is not available online, so you'll have to find a shop near you or go to Singapore to find some. You'd better hope the dollar keeps rising!

Even in this economy, tea, for the most part, is one area where consumers continue to go gourmet. For more information check out Daily Finance's recent piece on gourmet foods still selling well.

most expensive sandwitch in world

The club sandwich has long been a favorite of sandwich lovers, lunchtime diners, and even royalty since the late nineteenth century. A modern and more expensive version of the club sandwich was just created in Berkshire, England by James Parkinson, the Executive Head Chef for the von Essen collection.
Parkinson wanted to refurbish the club sandwich after traveling around the world and noticing the sandwich on almost every hotel menu he saw. He wanted to create a club worthy of a five star hotel stay and at the same time include the very finest ingredients for a truly unique sandwich eating experience.
most expensive foods in world, most expensive sandwitch


Costing £100 ($197 USD), the recently launched “von Essen Platinum Club Sandwich” is now the world’s most expensive sandwich. This club has many culinary delights and surely will not disappoint even your most discriminating “foodie”. We should note that you can’t eat the expensive sandwich anywhere but at the Cliveden’s Waldo Restaurant in Berkshire, which boasts a Michelin Star, one of the most distinguished culinary ratings.
If you think your local deli has a good club wait until you hear this sandwich’s ingredients. The most expensive club sandwich is proudly made of Iberico ham, poulet de Bresse, white truffles, quail eggs, semi-dried Italian tomatoes and 24-hour fermented sour dough bread, and weighs 530 grams.
The extremely rare ham is air-cured for nearly 30 months and comes from a black-footed pig, with the poulet de Bresse being a well-known delicacy in its own right. The 10 grams of white truffles on the sandwich provide a rich taste that compliments the sandwich’s flavors immensely.
“The Platinum Club sandwich is made from the very finest ingredients and the taste is simply sublime. It’s a sandwich that lives-up to the sumptuous setting of Cliveden and its magnificent culinary pedigree.” Notes chef James Parkinson.
