Posted on by Kara

I play the game ‘what would I do with a million dollars’ all the time. But a look at the most expensive things in the world shows me that a million dollars won’t even make a dent in some of these prices! There are some really, really expensive things in this world.

You and I might not be able to afford these things, but here’s what you could spend literally millions and millions of dollars on in this world.

$4.5 billion, The Yacht History Supreme

This yacht costs $4.5 billion and is totally bonkers. It took 3 years to build and all features on it (including the deck, dinning area, rails, and even the anchor) are made from precious metals. The entire bottom of the boat is covered in gold. There’s even T-Rex dinosaur bones used as decoration in the sleeping area.

$410 million mansion in French Côte d’Azur
