By price · Order from cheapest to most expensive.

1. An Xbox Series S console $349

   Microsoft has long sold consoles near or below manufacturing cost, betting on game sales and subscriptions to make the profit.

2. A Dyson Airwrap hair styler $600

   Dyson spent about 100 million pounds developing the Airwrap, using the same tiny high-speed motor technology as its vacuums.

3. A Tesla Powerwall home battery, installed $9.3K

   A Powerwall stores about enough electricity to run a typical US home for half a day to a day — many owners buy them less for savings than for blackout insurance.

4. A new Porsche 911 Carrera $120K

   The 911's silhouette has barely changed since 1963 — Porsche claims over 70% of all 911s ever built are still on the road.

5. The finest-known Mickey Mantle baseball card from his rookie era $12.6M

   The 1952 Topps card sold in 2022 became the most expensive piece of sports memorabilia ever — countless others were dumped in the ocean by Topps in the Fifties.

6. Chelsea Football Club, in the forced sale of the Abramovich era $3.1B

   The 2022 sale was forced by UK sanctions after the invasion of Ukraine — proceeds were earmarked for war victims, and it became the priciest sports team sale to date.
