The latest buzz in the automobile world is that some anonymous gentle man has decided to sell his old Bugatti Type 41 Royale for nothing less than $10 million! Iwas shocked when I read that, will my pice of junk be allowed to sell this high? But when I read further I realised that we are not talking of any ordinary piece but an extremely rare design manufactured by Ettore Bugatti. The story of the birth of the car is interesting enough to deserve a space here. It began in 1920s when Bugatti was in the process of finalising a deal with French military to build 16-cylinder aircraft engines. Some how, the contract failed but it germinated the idea of a big engine car in Bugatti’s mind.

The model in question seems to belong to a Japanese client of London’s Bonham & Brooks. They have been directed to sell the vehicle for at least $10 million. Let’s see the big game and see how much it catches at the auction!

When I read about the story of this long lost Champagne bottle making their way to stardom, I was literally amazed. Imagine a bottle of Champagne sinking in the sea because of a shipwreck some eighty years back has found its way back, and what a come back!

This 1907 Heidsieck champagne fetched a $275,000 tag at the Ritz-Carlton in Moscow. And there are more than 200 such bottles belonging to the bygone era. It is being said that the bottles were shipped for a Russian Imperial family at the time when it met the fatal accident.

I am sure that had the roman god of Wine seen this, he would have shied away!

If you are rich and want to show it off but want to buy a wise thing, go ahead and buy yourself a gold bike. It will help you traverse inside your palatial mansion in ease, apart from ecological reasons. You can also use it to take a ride in your farm. Or you can gift it to your better half and make his/her face glow like gold. Created by GoldStriker’s co-founder Stuart Hughes, the bike is self consciously called “24ct gold Hutch Prostar”. Made of 24ct gold and priced at $12,378, this bike is the the most expensive BMX ever produced.

The bike was originally created for some anonymous sports geek in 2002. But the bike is now tailor made for any one willing to shell out $12,378. I think its an ultra cool idea to go green on this gold bike.

In Kill Bill, Uma Thurman travelled up to the so called land of the orient in order to get the best steel in the world. I dont know if the one we are going to talk about is the best or not but it is certainly the world’s most expensive knife! Called ‘The Gem of The Orient’, the knife sold for a whopping $2.1 Million.

And why not? After all, it is made to perfection by Buster Warenski, one of the most well-known and prestigious knifemakers our times have produced. The knife is like a piece of art having a handle inlaid with precious stone.

In total, it has 153 emeralds (10 carats) and nine diamonds (5 carats). The weight of the gold in the knife is 28 ounces. Perhaps the most amazing fact is that it took him a hard work of ten years to produce such knife. I don’t quite buy this theory. Why, even Eiffel tower was built in two years!
