By price · Order from cheapest to most expensive.

1. A Nintendo Switch Lite console $199

   Nintendo has a history of durable hardware: the original Game Boy survived a Gulf War bombing and still works, on display at Nintendo New York.

2. A Bugatti Chiron Super Sport $3.9M

   Bugatti reportedly loses or barely breaks even on each hypercar once development is counted — parent companies treat them as rolling brand advertisements.

3. Stan, one of the most complete T. rex skeletons ever found $31.8M

   After the record 2020 sale, Stan's whereabouts were a mystery for years — he eventually surfaced as the future star of a new natural history museum in Abu Dhabi.

4. 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.

5. The largest lottery jackpot ever won, a single-ticket Powerball prize $2B

   The 2022 winner, a California man, took the lump sum of just under a billion dollars — then made headlines buying multiple mansions.

6. Pixar, when Disney bought it $7.4B

   The 2006 deal made Steve Jobs Disney's largest individual shareholder — he had bought Pixar from George Lucas two decades earlier for about $10 million.
