WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE CANDY BAR

The most expensive candy bar actually appears regularly in the television show Lost, where the characters in the show have stolen many of them out of a research station they find on the deserted island. However, the candy bar actually had a larger impact on the alternate reality game show The Lost Experience, where contestants’ actions determined the outcome of the game. During promotion for the game show, the producers handed out many of the Apollo candy bar and also invited many people to be photographed with the candy bar, so that their pictures could be seen online. Once enough pictures were collected, the producers also distributed a video that would conclude the game. It’s from the candy bars that were handed out as marketing efforts that comes the most expensive candy bar. This particular Apollo candy bar was sold on eBay just before the release of the conclusion video. It sold for $130 USD, making it the most expensive candy bar ever sold. Apollo bars are still for sale on eBay but they usually only cost about $10 USD.

World's Most Expensive Wine: Penfold's Debuts $168,000 Bottle Enclosed In Glass

Have a spare $168,000? Well Australian wine producer Penfolds has got you covered. The winery debuted today its "2004 Block 42," a wine entirely enclosed in glass. There are only 12 limited editions of the glass ampoule and if you're one of the lucky purchasers, you get your very own special opening ceremony. Here's the press release's description of how that plays out: When a decision is made to open the Ampoule a senior member of the Penfolds Winemaking team will personally attend a special opening ceremony for the owner (essentially your very own master-class). The winemaker will travel to the destination of choice, where the Ampoule will be ceremoniously removed from its glass plumb-bob casing and opened using a specially designed, tungsten-tipped, sterling silver scribe-snap. The winemaker will then prepare the wine using a beautifully crafted sterling silver tastevin. 2004 Block 42 is made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from a single vineyard. It is the most expensive wine directly sold from a winery in the world (well, assuming it does sell for $168,000). The glass sculpture was designed and hand-blown by Australian glass artist Nick Mount.

The World's Most Expensive Lighter for $79,000

When it comes to fine gentleman's smoking accessories, its hard to get more luxurious than S.T. Dupont's new Ligne 2 Champagne lighter. The exquisite piece, part of the venerable French firms Prestige Collection, is made of solid 18-carat white gold embellished with 468 brilliant-cut diamonds and is priced at $79,000. Also available is a matching fountain pen also in solid 18-carat white gold with rhodium finished trims and 502 brilliant-cut diamonds for $74,000. S.T. Dupont has always been held in high regard by the cognoscenti but gained recent acclaim when some of its pieces were used by Daniel Craig as James Bond in Casino Royale. S.T. Dupont was founded in Paris in 1872 by Simon Tissot Dupont; his son Andre Dupont, who had expertise both in leathergoods and as a goldsmith, invented the first pocket petrol lighter in 1941 for the traveling case of a Maharajah. At the time Dupont's ultra-luxurious travel cases were its main line; in 1947 they made one in lavender blue leather for HRH Princess Elizabeth of York, the future Queen of England. In 1952 Dupont patented the adjustable gas lighter upon which the present model is based and created a special model for the Duke of Windsor, which was reissued in 2006.

Michael Jackson's 'Scream' Music video is still the most expensive one ever made...

So I'm sometimes amazed by the amount of non news which gets a lot of attention on the series of tubes. A swine flu death in New York? You got it! Michael Vick is working with (insert animal org here). You're covered! Michelle Obama's guns? Sure... why not? So here it is, my contribution to the never ending barrage of worthless information with yet another post which will waste your time when you could be catching up on something that is actually worth while. (Yay run-on sentences!!!) Ladies and Gentlemen, at a whopping 7 million U.S., Michael Jackson's 1995 'Scream' music video is still the most expensive one ever made! And yes, I'm being hypocritical.

Worlds most expensive sunglass

Dolce & Gabanna DG2027B Completely blowing those pricey frames out of the water, Dolce and Gabanna recently released a pair of sunglasses whose price easily overshadowed that of Lipow’s $3,800 shades. The brown-tinted shades are framed in gold and appear to have the brand’s logo written on the arms—in diamonds.

The World's Most Expensive Bed

So you bought that fabulous multi-million dollar home of your dreams (perhaps maybe one like this?). The question now is how to decorate. Start with the bedroom — after all, many a rich and famous person on MTV Cribs has admitted, “it’s where the magic happens.” A one-of-a-kind house needs a one-of-a-kind bed…How about one worth £4 million (conversion: more than $6.4 million). British designer Stuart Hughes has just unveiled his latest ultra-high end and utterly exclusive foray into furniture: the Baldacchino Supreme. In a joint collaboration with Hebanon by Fratelli Basile Interiors of Nocera Superiore Italy, a team of master Italian furniture makers, the Baldacchino Supreme is the world’s new most expensive bed for sale. Only two will be created, each taking 3 months to hand craft upon purchase. Ensconced in Italian silk curtains, the canopy bed is a decadent vision of creme and gold, carved from chestnut, ash and cherry woods: it’s the type of structure a royal medieval Italian wedding night would welcome. The headboard is fashioned in capitonnè — that button-punctured fabric pattern harking from Parisian home decor — and can be customized with diamonds upon request (in case you want some bling to go with “the magic”). The real expense behind this bed however is the sheer amount of gold in use. It’s generously brushed along the borders of the entire structure in the form of gold leaf: 107 kg of solid 24ct gold to be exact. In commodities trading terms, that’s over $5 million worth of gold at current market prices. The bed may seem like a publicity ploy from the two companies, but surprisingly one order has already been placed — and filled. The inspiration for this entire project came at the behest of a wealthy Italian buyer (who will sadly remain anonymous) looking for an overly indulgent, fabulously decadent bed to call his own. He contacted Hebanon and they in turn contacted Stuart Hughes, who has built a clever brand around bourgeois adaptations of every day items like diamond-encrusted flat screen television sets and multimillion dollar iPhones. As for the one remaining bed, it’s still available for purchase — just in time for Valentine’s Day. Hughes says these items in general can take “one minute or an eternity to sell.” With a bed like this, I can’t help but wonder what the wealthy buyers will choose furniture-wise to accompany it.
