World’s Most Expensive Car Wash
UK’s Gurcharn Sahota started a car wash business about five years ago by washing his neighbour’s cars with a bucket and sponge; but his is no ordinary service. The premier wash includes polishing and buffing every inch of the car inside and out five times, taking up to 250 hours to clean each vehicle with an array of 100 cleaning fluids and wax that costs over US$12,000 per tub. He even uses a computerised microscope normally used by forensic scientists to examine the bodywork for the minutest scratch not even visible to the naked eye. Gurcharn cleans hundreds of supercars every week and now boasts a string of celebrity clients, at an unbelievable price of… guess how much? Over US$10,000 !
Meet the million-dollar mut. The 11-month-old, 180-pound pup, aptly named “Hong Dong,” meaning “Big Splash” in Chinese, has become the most expensive dog on the planet after a wealthy coal industrialist from China recently procured him for a little more than $1.5 million.This ancient guarding breed with its unmistakable bright reddish-brown fur, has recently become something of a status symbol among China’s uber-wealthy class. The price of Red Tibetan Mastiff pups has skyrocketed over the past few years from only few hundred dollars to six figures and higher.
Reputedly owned by Genghis Khan and Lord Buddha, the Red Tibetan Mastiff is viewed as a “pure Chinese” breed because of its well-documented history and nearly exclusive Chinese population. These dogs are also considered one of the oldest pure breeds in the world. Less than 20 are reported to remain in Tibet.

The 18-karat gold version of the famous Parker Brothers board game is on display at the Museum of American Finance. The gold and jewel-encrusted Monopoly is estimated to be worth roughly $2 million.
The set of dice alone is valued at $10,000, with 42 full-cut diamonds for the number dots. All of the properties that make up the game board are also set in gems, with some 165 gemstones in total.
The notion of creating a blinged-out version of the board game came about in 1988, when San Francisco jeweler Sidney Mobell heard about a Monopoly tournament taking place in London. He called Parker Brothers (now part of Hasbro Inc.) for permission and then set to work creating the golden game, working every day for a year straight.
The Monopoly board will be on display at the Museum of American Finance for two years, on loan from the Smithsonian. It is one of 19 works donated by Mobell in January 2003 in honor of his late wife.
Posh Tots, a company that makes “the most extraordinary children’s furnishings in the world”, is offering you the chance to buy your little princess a real palace bed, complete with a fiberglass slide, staircase and enchanted balcony, for the modest price of $47,000 . No, I didn’t add an extra zero by mistake, that really is the price of a children’s bed. It looks perfect, and I’m sure any little girl would be happy to have it (if not, the company’s also makes a Fantasy Coach bed, for the same price), but you’d need to be shoveling cash to pay almost fifty grand for it.link
