World’s Most Expensive Written Manuscript

February 19, 2010

Giacomo Casanova, the world’s greatest lover, may have been Venetian, but it was the French government who, in early 2010, paid top dollar for the licentious libertine’s manuscript.

World’s Top Five Most Expensive Sculptures

February 12, 2010

Paintings are often highly sought after due to their broad appeal and identifiability. They’re relatively easy to transport and widely available in a variety of price levels. Sculptures, on the other hand, have a tendency to fetch much higher prices initially, due primarily to the workload involved in their creation and the significantly higher price [...]

World’s Most Expensive Wig

January 20, 2010

Iconic pop artist Andy Warhol strove for a unique and trendsetting look—even going so far as to commission mismatched footwear with patches sewn onto the right shoe. Then, of course, there’s the famous wig he began wearing in the mid-1960s. While the silver-grey wig was originally intended to cover up his receding hairline, it became [...]

Most Expensive Christmas Card

December 25, 2009

Holiday greeting cards have been around for as long as anyone can remember. Nowadays it can be practically required that you send one to each and every member of your family.

World’s Most Expensive Harmonica

December 10, 2009

Top 6 Most Expensive Movies Ever Made

November 10, 2009
