SortStack #3006 — 2034-09-01

By price · Order from cheapest to most expensive.

1. A new big-budget video game at launch $70

   Adjusted for inflation, games are cheaper than ever: a Nintendo cartridge in the early Nineties often cost the equivalent of well over a hundred of today's dollars.

2. An average American wedding $33K

   The single biggest line item is usually the venue. Meanwhile the median engagement ring, despite the marketing, costs a fraction of the 'three months salary' rule.

3. A new Ferrari 296 GTB $340K

   Ferrari deliberately limits production below demand — the company makes more profit per car than almost any automaker, and the waitlist is part of the product.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Neymar's transfer from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain $263M

   PSG triggered his 'unbuyable' release clause in 2017, paying more than double the previous world record — a fee designed to be impossible.
