The five most expensive things in the world

Women's magazine wants will acquaint you with the five most expensive things in the world.


1. The most expensive item of clothing in the history of mankind was not created by Giorgio Armani, not Gianni Versace, and even Richard Jewels and Stuar Hughes, the so-called "luxury". The suit cost $9 million belongs to the hands of the engineers and designers at NASA. And as you guessed, this is not a simple suit and a space suit is one of the most expensive things in the world. It consists of more than 2 thousand parts, for the manufacture of armor takes more than year. But a lot of money that's required for the creation of one such suit, is not the point. Most important of all is life a cosmic traveler, which he protects and provides.

2. Some people make the mistake of assuming the most expensive book in the world project "Birds of America" by John James Audubon ("Birds" first, if we take into account only the printed edition). Today, the leadership among the almost priceless books holds the Leicester Codex. The author of this unique manuscript of the great artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci. In the manuscript the book of 18 parchment sheets we are talking about "water, earth and celestial bodies". To read records can only be got to the pages of the treatise mirror, as da Vinci loved to encrypt your thoughts. Belongs to a book to bill gates, who bought it at auction in 1994.

3. Of course, the list of the most expensive things in the world will be incomplete without Apple products. The most expensive iPhone 4 Diamond Rose is worth about $ 8 million due to the fact that his body is made of white gold and decorated with diamonds weighing 100 carats. Features the gold iPhone is no different from a regular "cell phone". At the moment this phone there are only 2 instances.

4. The Italian company Ferrari broke its own record by selling the next most expensive car in the world. Like last time, it was a model 250 GTO. Only now the car was a year older (1962) and cost a couple million more expensive ($35 million). Once this racing car was designed specifically for the famous racing driver from London Stirling moss (he is the most unlucky pilot in the history of Formula 1 race). As it turned out, the fate of the car was much kinder to the car than to its first owner. Today the happy owner of the legendary sports car is an American financier Craig Macko, which has expanded their luxurious collection.

5. Quite an unusual way and decided to spend their $2 million unknown collector. He put them in... the first issue of the comic book Superman. Edition of 1938 was worth at the time of its release just 10 cents! And, they say, that the former owner of this copy of "Action Comics" was Nicolas cage, who stole it twelve years ago. Recall that the Superman comics out today.
