  • Expensive things

    What are the most expensive things you can imagine?

    I know of a thing that costs over $30 billion per pound, what do you think it is?

    Californium?
    Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.

      Californium is very rare, but why would anyone pay large sums for it? The thing I'm thinking of is Swedish. And no, it's not an IKEA book shelf that one can magically put together in 30 seconds. Close, but that's not it.

          Antimatter is not yet a tradeable item.
          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

            But there are estimates on how much it would cost to produce... and the question had "imagine"...

              Antimatter comes in at around a quadrillion dollars a pound.

                    It could be dinosaur feta.. But of course, the Greeks would never allow a market to open up for it.

                            Beer (0,5l) costing over 5€ at some pub in the inner city. It's a crime
