Most Expensive Hot Dog

The most expensive hot dog in the world wasn’t exactly a special hot dog. Sure, it was a limited item available for only a few days in Stockholm. Sure, it cost 999 Swedish kronor ($130 USD at the time) to get one. The pricey hot dog itself, however, was no better than your average street vendor may sell you.

The expensive hot dog was part of a United Nations initiative to highlight global poverty. The idea was that, for one of the billion people worldwide who live on less than a dollar a day, paying the standard price of a hot dog would be like your average, comfortably living individual paying $130.

The world’s most expensive hot dog was available from the 15th to the 17th of September, 2005, from the United Nations Development Programme’s Nordic Office. They were sold by a number of Swedish celebrities and politicos.
