By price · Order from cheapest to most expensive.
- A large hand-tossed pizza from Domino's $14
Domino's once guaranteed delivery in 30 minutes or the pizza was free — the promise was scrapped after lawsuits over drivers speeding.
- A bespoke suit from Savile Row in London $5.5K
A true bespoke suit takes around 50 hours of handwork and multiple fittings. The word 'bespoke' itself comes from Savile Row — cloth 'spoken for' by a customer.
- The average used car in the United States $27.5K
During the pandemic chip shortage, some lightly used cars briefly sold for more than their brand-new equivalents — dealers couldn't get new stock.
- A Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup $63K
The F-150 has been America's best-selling vehicle for over four decades — Ford sells one roughly every minute of every day.
- A Boeing 737 MAX 8 airliner at list price $120M
Airlines almost never pay list price — discounts of around half are standard, which is why Boeing eventually stopped publishing its price sheet entirely.
- The Sochi Winter Olympics, the most expensive Games ever held $51B
The 2014 Winter Games cost more than every previous Winter Olympics combined — a subtropical beach resort had to be re-engineered for snow sports.
