The most expensive wristwatch ever auctioned is this bespoke Patek Philippe watch, which went under the hammer for an enormous $31 million in November 2019 at a charity auction in Geneva. Completely one of a kind, the Grandmaster Chime watch has a black dial and a rose gold dial which can be flipped.

The Hawaiian island of Lanai, a 90,000-acre paradise, was purchased by Oracle founder Larry Ellison in 2012 for $300 million, making it the most expensive island ever sold. Ellison now owns 98% of Lanai, while the remaining 2% is owned by the state. The entrepreneur has since invested another $450 million in projects on the island, which houses two five-star hotels and a town of 3,200 people.

The most expensive boat in the world is thought to be Roman Abramovich's Eclipse, a 533-feet long megayacht which was bought for $472 million in 2011 but is believed to be worth $1.5 billion today. Complete with 25 luxurious cabins, an onboard nightclub and two swimming pools, it's certainly not your average yacht.

The most expensive private residential property in the world is the colossal Antilia, a 27-story skyscraper in Mumbai owned by billionaire Mukesh Ambani. The property, which is valued at $2 billion by the Guinness World Records, has 400,00 square feet of living floor area, and derives its high cost partly from the highly expensive area in which it's built – Altamount Road, where one square foot of land costs on average between $1,050-$1,100.

Did you know that there was a four-wheel drive Capri? Well, we’d forgive you for not knowing, as it never got beyond the prototype stage. Just 17 were built to demonstrate the possibility, but just one it seems survives, and you’re looking at it.
