By price · Order from cheapest to most expensive.

1. A full tank of gas for a midsize car in the US $45

   About half the pump price of US gasoline is the crude oil itself — refining, distribution, and taxes split the rest.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Alaska, as the United States paid Russia for it $7.2M

   The 1867 nominal price worked out to about two cents per acre. Critics called it 'Seward's Folly' — then gold and oil turned it into history's great bargain.

5. Andy Warhol's 'Shot Sage Blue Marilyn' silkscreen $195M

   The series got its name when a performance artist walked into Warhol's studio in 1964 and shot a stack of Marilyn canvases with a revolver.

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.
