Most Expensive Bourbon Whiskey

March 30, 2009

Bourbon whiskey, like Champagne, is named after the region from which it comes—Bourbon, Kentucky. Unlike Champagne, however, Bourbon’s production isn’t limited to its home region.

Most Expensive Presidential Election Campaign in US History

February 5, 2009

November 2008 marked the end of what was the most expensive election in US history, which culminated in the election of Democratic nominee Barack Obama.

The long anticipated Corvette ZR1 may finally see the light of day in 2009.

The answer, of course, is the most powerful and most [...]

Most Expensive Broadway Musical

October 27, 2008

Broadway theatre has its roots in the very end of the 18th century, when New York’s first theatre companies were formed.

Most Expensive Coffeemaker

July 25, 2008

Coffee has a long history dating back, as far as we can tell, to 9th century Ethiopia. The first coffee aficionados, though, weren’t the native peoples.

We’ve already told you about the world’s most expensive haircut, a one-off service provided by stylist Stuart Phillips to retired millionaire Beverley Lateo, but Mr. Pillips’ usual fee of £150 (around $300) is far short of that commanded by some.
