By price · Order from cheapest to most expensive.

1. A grande latte at Starbucks $4.50

   The coffee beans in a latte cost the chain well under fifty cents — milk, labor, and rent make up most of what you pay.

2. 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.

3. A Lamborghini Urus SUV $240K

   Ferruccio Lamborghini built tractors first and started making supercars after Enzo Ferrari allegedly insulted him. The Urus is now the brand's best-seller.

4. The Oppenheimer Blue, the largest fancy vivid blue diamond ever auctioned $57.5M

   Blue diamonds owe their color to traces of boron and form deeper in the Earth than almost any other gem — only a handful surface each year.

5. The production of 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' $379M

   It remains among the most expensive films ever made — partly due to star salaries and shooting on water, which filmmakers consider a budget black hole.

6. Mojang, the maker of Minecraft, when Microsoft bought it $2.5B

   Creator Markus 'Notch' Persson sold partly due to burnout, tweeting that he didn't want the responsibility — Minecraft went on to become the best-selling game ever.
