Some of the most expensive foods, dishes, and drinks (that some people have bought only to be flushed down the toilet).

  1. Almas Caviar


    This expensive caviar comes from Iranian sturgeons that are up to 100 years old. A four pound container of this will cost you about $50,000.

  2. Saffron


    This spice averages about $2,000 an ounce. This spice is so expensive because it takes such a long time to gather, one pound of it (16 ounces) would take collecting about 250,000 flower stigmas by hand.

  3. Diamonds: Nature’s Miracle


    This cake was made with 223 real diamonds and went on sale for the price of $1.65 million dollars. It took a Japanese pastry chef 7 months to create and was placed in a Japanese diamond exhibit.

  4. 1787 Chateau Lafite Rothschild


    This wine fetched about $150,000 for one bottle in a 1985 auction. This price was a new world record for the most spent on a bottle of wine.

  5. The Fortress


    This dessert is dubbed the most expensive dessert in the world. It features an 80 carat aquamarine gem presented by fine dark chocolate. This expensive treat is sold at The Fortress in Galle, Sri Lanka, it goes for $14,500.

    Yup, rich people are crazy, but they are fooled by marketing as much as us poor folk! :-)

    Marketing does play a big role in this, but I think that some people must have only the biggest and best.
