By price · Order from cheapest to most expensive.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. The cheapest new car sold in America, a Nissan Versa $17K

   The sub-$20,000 new car is nearly extinct in the US — in 2019 there were over a dozen models under that line; now essentially one remains.

4. A Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV $150K

   The G-Wagen began as a military vehicle suggested by the Shah of Iran. Every single one is still hand-assembled in the same factory in Graz, Austria.

5. The High Roller, the giant observation wheel in Las Vegas $550M

   It edged out the London Eye and Singapore Flyer as the world's tallest observation wheel when it opened — one rotation takes half an hour.

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.
