Internet auction eBay is the world’s largest trading platform with huge turnovers. This is not surprising, considering that extremely expensive items are sometimes sold on it. Moreover, these are not always just items. In 2019, the auction showcased what wealthy people could afford to spend their money on.
1Lunch with Warren Buffett – $1.5 million
Famous people often sell their time — lunch with businessman Warren Buffett cost $1.5 million and took place at the Oracle of Omaha. The proceeds, by the way, were donated to charity, making it the largest donation in 2019.
2Ticket to an American football game signed by Tom Brady – $400,000
Americans love their football and also adore the stars of the game. Moreover, wealthy Americans are willing to pay for various “perks.” This ticket cost the buyer $400,000.
3Michael Jordan basketball card – $350,000
Since Michael Jordan is considered a true legend, all collectible items related to him are also considered legendary. A collectible card featuring “His Airness” sold for $350,000.
4Lamborghini Aventador Roadster – $349,000
A 2015 release, 6.5-liter engine with 690 horsepower, plus prestige and flair. The car is, of course, not for ordinary trips, hence the impressive price. The model sold for $349,000. By the way, this was one of 11 Lamborghinis sold at this auction in 2019.
5Newhouse King Aire Motorhome – $280,000
This is not a Lamborghini or even a car, and there’s no external gloss and pomp here. However, a motorhome from Newhouse can also be expensive and prestigious, as confirmed by the purchase price of $280,000.
6Piper PA-46-350P Malibu Mirage – $225,000
While cars are a common and widespread lot on eBay, planes are not sold very often. However, this is just a small, single-engine model for amateur flights. And it cost only $225,000. Practically peanuts.
7Lamborghini Aventador 2dr Coupe – $200,000
In 2019, cars of this brand were sold very actively on eBay. The Aventador model is perhaps one of the most successful in the lineup, so it is not surprising that the series is popular. The lot went for exactly $200,000.
8Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead – $172,000
No less prestigious a car brand than Lamborghini, though it appears at auction quite rarely. The Phantom model is known to everyone, and riding in this car is a dream for many. No problem — it could be bought for just $172,000. With delivery.
9Patek Philippe Grand Complications – $125,000
Watches are also a fairly expensive asset, and some can be more expensive than cars. This option is made of platinum, though just the Patek Philippe brand alone is enough. $125,000.
10Rolex Sant Blanc – $100,000
Rolex does not lag behind in price from the previous brand, and some models can be even more expensive. These watches are hugely successful — this particular model was paid for at $100,000. How do people have such money for trinkets, even if they are made of gold?
