By price · Order from cheapest to most expensive.

1. One month of Netflix's standard ad-free plan $18

   Netflix began in 1998 mailing DVDs in red envelopes — it shipped its final disc in 2023 after posting over five billion of them.

2. The average new car in the United States $48K

   The average new-car price has nearly doubled since 2010, driven by buyers abandoning sedans for loaded SUVs and trucks.

3. 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.

4. Alaska, as the United States paid Russia for it $7.2M

   The 1867 nominal price worked out to about two cents per acre. Critics called it 'Seward's Folly' — then gold and oil turned it into history's great bargain.

5. Banksy's 'Love is in the Bin,' the painting that shredded itself at auction $25.4M

   The hidden shredder jammed halfway, leaving the work half-intact. Three years after the stunt, the 'ruined' piece resold for roughly eighteen times its pre-shred price.

6. 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.
