By price · Order from cheapest to most expensive.

1. An Oscar statuette, if a winner ever sells it back to the Academy $1.00

   Since 1951, winners must offer their Oscar back to the Academy for exactly one dollar before selling it elsewhere — a rule that keeps statuettes off the open market.

2. A plain slice of pizza in New York City $3.00

   The 'Pizza Principle' holds that a NYC slice and a subway ride have cost roughly the same for decades — when one rises, the other tends to follow.

3. LEGO's giant Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcon set $850

   At over 7,500 pieces it is one of the largest LEGO sets ever sold — sealed originals of the 2007 version have resold for several times the new price.

4. A new MacBook Pro, base model $1.6K

   Apple's first laptop ancestor, the 1989 Macintosh Portable, weighed over seven kilograms and cost the equivalent of more than $16,000 today.

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. SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, the most expensive stadium ever built $5.5B

   Because it sits under the LAX flight path, the roof had to stay low — so builders dug the field about 30 meters below ground level.
