When it comes to the luxurious habits of the richest people on the planet, what do you think is the most expensive thing in the world that a person can actually buy?

Certainly, that are a lot of things that cost millions or billions of dollars but have a specific function and can not be bought. For example, the International Space Station has cost more than $150 billion to be made. Even though the richest people on earth now have a net worth of $224 billion, he could not buy the ISS, although he could make one for himself if he want to.

Another ultra-expensive thing is antimatter. Seems like a sci-fi experiment, but it actually exists. It is a complex particle with the same energy as a regular particle, but the opposite. The process to make it takes so much effort that a gram of it will cost $62.5 trillion. But it is dangerous, and even if someone had that amount of money, one just can not buy antimatter. 

In this article, we will talk about things that a person can possess. If you happen to have this money, you can go and buy it. But I think you’ll be shocked at how much the most expensive thing in the world costs. I bet you couldn’t guess, or at least I couldn’t before making this research.

Before talking about the cost, let’s talk about the item itself. What do you think is the most expensive thing in the world that a person has actually bought?

Some people might think it is something with cutting-edge technology. Or something really big, like a mansion or a castle. Or even something really rare, like a precious stone or relic. But that is not any of these cases. The most expensive thing in the world is a yacht!

Ok, yachts are known for being pretty expensive, but this one is out-of-this-world expensive. The Yacht History Supreme was bought for $4.5 billion dollars.

Yes, you’ve read that right. If you’re wondering how big this amount of money is, I have a practical example. If you would count one dollar per second, it would take you more than 142 years to count $4.5 billion. That’s how much a 

The Yacht History Supreme is 100 feet large and has no impressive features when it comes to performance, efficiency, or innovation. The reason it is so expensive is the number of luxury items, that seem to be gathered together just to make it eccentric – and expensive.

The yacht has everything you can think about when it comes to unnecessary whimsy to be the most expensive thing in the world. It is covered in gold on the outside, as well as everything that’s usually made of metal, like handrail, door handles, stairs, and even the anchor.

On top of that, you can put walls made of meteorites, sculptures made of T-rex bones, diamonds, and gold on everything, from bottles to cellphones, aquariums, mirrors, etc. Nothing really useful, but certainly pretty luxurious.

Some believe the yacht is nothing but a myth. Maybe because it seems unimaginable. Or maybe because there is no trace of this yacht in the world and no one knows where it is or when it was last seen.

But you can find plenty of information and even pictures of it on the internet, including specialized websites and lists of the most expensive things in the world. Nothing but a harmless and fun clash between media channels.
