By price · Order from cheapest to most expensive.

1. One standard LEGO brick, on average $0.10

   LEGO bricks are molded to a tolerance of four thousandths of a millimeter — and bricks made in 1958 still click with bricks made today.

2. 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.

3. A one-day adult ticket to Disney World's Magic Kingdom $140

   When Disneyland opened in 1955, admission was one dollar — rides cost extra, paid with lettered coupons that gave us the phrase 'an E-ticket ride.'

4. A Tesla Powerwall home battery, installed $9.3K

   A Powerwall stores about enough electricity to run a typical US home for half a day to a day — many owners buy them less for savings than for blackout insurance.

5. One year at Harvard, including tuition, room, and board $82K

   Harvard's endowment is so large that the university could theoretically let every undergraduate attend free and barely notice — financial aid means many already pay little.

6. The Amazon stock MacKenzie Scott received in history's biggest divorce settlement $38B

   Scott has since given away billions at a record pace, often with no application process — charities report receiving surprise phone calls.
