- 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.
- A bespoke suit from Savile Row in London $5.5K
A true bespoke suit takes around 50 hours of handwork and multiple fittings. The word 'bespoke' itself comes from Savile Row — cloth 'spoken for' by a customer.
- A Hermes Birkin handbag at retail, entry size $12K
The bag was born on a flight when actress Jane Birkin's basket spilled — the Hermes CEO sitting beside her sketched a better bag on an airsickness bag.
- A brand-new Toyota Corolla $23K
With over 50 million sold since 1966, the Corolla is the best-selling car nameplate in history — one has been sold roughly every 30 seconds for decades.
- 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.
