1. 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.'

2. A top-spec Tesla Cybertruck $100K

   At its 2019 unveiling, the 'unbreakable' armored glass windows cracked twice on stage when hit with a metal ball — Tesla's stock dipped the next day.

3. The median home in the United States $420K

   In 1970 the median US home cost about $23,000 — roughly twice the median household income. Today it's nearly six times.

4. One year of renting a giant panda from China $1M

   China owns nearly every panda on Earth and leases them to foreign zoos — cubs born abroad are also Chinese property and must eventually be flown 'home.'

5. 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.

6. The James Webb Space Telescope $10B

   Webb's mirror is coated with about 48 grams of gold — roughly a golf ball's worth — spread across 18 hexagonal segments.
