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.
- An Instant Pot pressure cooker $90
The Instant Pot was invented by a laid-off Canadian telecom engineer — it became so beloved that owners formed recipe communities millions strong.
- New Kim, the world's most expensive racing pigeon $1.9M
A Chinese buyer won the 2020 auction for the Belgian hen. Pigeon racing's huge prize purses in China have turned top breeding birds into seven-figure assets.
- One M1 Abrams main battle tank $10M
The Abrams runs on a gas turbine — essentially a jet engine — and can burn through roughly four liters of fuel per kilometer.
- The Mercedes 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe, the most expensive car ever sold $142M
Mercedes had kept both existing cars for nearly 70 years before secretly auctioning one in 2022 — the buyer's identity and the car's location remain closely guarded.
- The High Roller, the giant observation wheel in Las Vegas $550M
It edged out the London Eye and Singapore Flyer as the world's tallest observation wheel when it opened — one rotation takes half an hour.
