SortStack #1900 — 2031-08-22

By price · Order from cheapest to most expensive.

1. A PlayStation 5 console $500

   The PS5 sold out so fast at launch during the pandemic that scalper bots became a news story — resale prices briefly doubled the sticker.

2. A Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV $150K

   The G-Wagen began as a military vehicle suggested by the Shah of Iran. Every single one is still hand-assembled in the same factory in Graz, Austria.

3. 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.

4. Paul Newman's own Rolex Daytona, sold at auction $17.8M

   The watch was a gift from his wife, engraved 'Drive Carefully Me.' Its 2017 sale made it the most expensive wristwatch ever auctioned at the time.

5. The Pink Star diamond, sold at auction in Hong Kong $71.2M

   A previous buyer defaulted after bidding $83 million, forcing a re-auction — the 59.6 carat stone took two years just to cut and polish.

6. The USS Gerald R. Ford, the US Navy's newest aircraft carrier $13B

   It launches jets with electromagnetic catapults instead of steam, and its two reactors are designed to run 25 years without refueling.
