Dead Shark — $8 MillionWhile many expensive things have useful, revenue-generating purposes, some of the world’s most expensive objects seem to make less sense. Artist Damien Hirst created “The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, aka The Shark” in 1991. It’s a tiger shark preserved in formaldehyde in a vitrine and was commissioned by Charles Saatchi. It sold for $8 million to hedge fund billionaire Steven Cohen, according to multiple reports, however “The $12 Million Stuffed Shark: The Curious Economics of Contemporary Art” by Don Thompson hints at an even higher figure.

Carey wore the ring for a year after her engagement ended, then sold it to an L.A. jeweler for a paltry $2.1 million. Perfect Pink Diamond — $23.2 MillionChristie’s Hong Kong sold a 14.23-carat, fancy intense pink diamond to an anonymous buyer for just over $23 million in 2012. Chopard 201-Carat Gemstone Watch — $25 MillionThis timepiece features 874 individual gemstones, including three heart-shaped diamonds ranging from 11 to 15 carats each, all with flawless clarity. These diamonds form a pattern and open like flower petals to reveal the watch’s face. Giant Clock — $42 MillionAmong billionaire Jeff Bezos’ more extravagant purchases is a $42 million giant clock designed to run for 10,000 years. Perhaps it could be considered a business expense if he uses it to ensure everyone receives their Prime Day purchases in two days or less? 1962 Ferrari GTO — $48.4 MillionIt’s not surprising to find a few cars on this list of the world’s most expensive things. In 2018, a 1962 red Ferrari GTO sold to an anonymous buyer at Sotheby’s auction in Monterey for $48.4 million. CarInsurance.com Domain Name — $49.7 MillionCar insurance is a big business, and finding the right domain name can be a pricey proposition. CarInsurance.com reportedly cost $49.7 million — the highest publicly reported price ever for a domain name. The purchase was made by Quinstreet in 2010. The runners-up for most expensive domain names go to Insurance.com at $35.6 million and VacationRentals.com at $35 million. The Graff Hallucination Watch — $55 MillionLaurence Graff, chairman of Graff Diamonds, introduced this gemstone watch masterpiece to the world in 2014, and it is an undisputed one-of-a-kind show of craftsmanship featuring more than 110 carats of diamonds in various shapes and colors. ‘Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I’ Painting — $135 MillionYour portfolio would look pretty sweet if you had this pricey painting in it. The Gustav Klimt painting last sold in 2006 for $135 million, purchased by art collector Ronald Lauder for display in Neue Galarie New York. Jeff Bezos’ Beverly Hills House — $175 MillionBezos owns a lot of real estate, including a $119 million mansion, a $23 million New York City condo and a $23 million house in Washington, D.C. But his priciest property to date seems to be his $175 million estate in Beverly Hills, previously owned by music mogul David Geffen. ‘The Card Players’ Painting — $250 MillionWith stocks and investments tumbling in a bear market, it’s not just individual investors who are opting to invest in art and other tangible items. “The Card Players” is an 1890s painting by Paul Cezanne. It was purchased by Qatar in 2011. ‘Salvator Mundi’ Painting — $450.3 MillionChristie’s auctioned Leonardo da Vinci’s “Salvator Mundi” for $450.3 million in 2017. The seller was Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev, who had purchased the masterpiece from Yves Bouvier. Rybolovlev later accused Bouvier of fraud, alleging the Swiss art broker had overcharged him over $1 billion for a number of works, including “Salvator Mundi.” Villa Leopolda — $750 MillionA mansion on the French Riviera named Villa Leopolda holds the title of second-most expensive private residence. The building served as a hospital during World War II and has changed hands several times since its construction in 1902 for Belgian King Leopold II — hence, the name. Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov is the current owner; he bought the mansion in 2008. Antilia — $4.6 Billion If you’ve ever wanted to live in the world’s most expensive house, you’ll find it in Mumbai, India. The 27-story building towers over others in the skyline and boasts three helipads, nine elevators, a 50-seat home theater and other luxuries. It was completed in 2010 for around $2 billion and is now valued at $4.6 billion. It is owned by Mukesh Ambani, the richest man in India, who has a net worth of more than $115 billion, according to Forbes. History Supreme Yacht — $4.8 BillionThe History Supreme Yacht is not the largest in the world. That honor goes to Bezo’s superyacht Koru at 417 feet — but Koru cost a mere $500 million. However, the History Supreme took three years to design from the mind of Stuart Hughes and is outfitted with some of the world’s priciest materials and amenities, coming out to 100 feet of pure wealth. According to Architectural Digest, it is currently in the hands of Robert Kuok, Malaysia’s richest man.

![superyacht adele The Count of Monte Cristo - Variety Critic's Pick](https://variety.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/The-Count-of-Monte-Cristo-Critics-Pick.jpg?w=1000&h=666&crop=1) Last year, in bold defiance of post-pandemic doomsayers, French distributor Pathé doubled down on its commitment to the big-screen experience with its extravagant, no-expense-spared adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ “The Three Musketeers” — a starry two-part tentpole that featured dynamic single-take swashbuckling sequences and a delectably wicked turn from Eva Green. As theatrical events go, it was fun, if not especially faithful to the book, demonstrating that the French could rival the Americans in showmanship. Related StoriesWhy long-form tiktok videos make perfect sense, max offers free trial to new users ahead of 'house of the dragon', popular on variety. For the next 14 years — about one hour of screen time — the handsome ex-mariner wastes away in the bowels of the Château d’If (a clever trick shot reveals prisoner Number 34’s emaciated body, pans up the dank cell walls and settles on the scruffy face of its star, best known to Americans as the clean-cut young designer in “Yves Saint Laurent”). Had Dumas’ story ended at the altar, we could have assumed a happily ever after. Instead, what begins with the best of times quickly devolves into the worst of times, as the next thousand-or-so pages of Dumas’ classic romance novel recenter around the character’s single-minded desire for revenge. In this pursuit, Dantès could be a prototype for pulp superheroes such as Batman and the Green Hornet, who use their fortunes to strike out at evildoers, adapting their mansions into state-of-the-art vigilante headquarters. While locked away, Dantès meets Abbé Faria (Pierfrancesco Favino), who teaches him multiple languages and shares the location of a treasure fit for a sultan. As soon as he escapes, Dantès heads straight for the hiding place, using those riches to reinvent himself as one of the world’s wealthiest men. Again, had the story stopped here, we might presume a happy ending. Alas, upon his return, Dantès finds Mercédès married to ex-friend Moncerf, his career being enjoyed by rival Danglars (Patrick Mille) and his father dead, so he recalibrates his intentions. One of the story’s more fanciful conceits is that Dantès becomes a master of disguise, unrecognizable to Mercédès and his enemies. Having witnessed his suffering, audiences have every reason to root for Dantès to crush the three men who double-crossed him: Moncerf, Danglars and Villefort (Laurent Lafitte), the procureur du roi who sent him away to protect his own hide. And yet, Dumas holds no illusions about the corrosive power of resentment, and the film rightly focuses on this all-important lesson. By swearing himself to revenge, Dantès suffocates what he once knew of love, all but dooming his protégés, Haydée and Andrea, to deny their hearts and share in his hatred. Enchantingly played by Anamaria Vartolomeï (“Happening”), Haydée could be a problematic character by 21st-century standards: an orphaned slave whom Dantès buys as part of his master plan to get back at Moncerf (the military hero responsible for her father’s death). It’s a hitch easily corrected here, as Haydée is now presented as a willing accomplice in the elaborate retribution scheme. It’s almost poetic the way the two young men represent alternate paths the count’s life might have taken: Albert (whom Haydée intends to seduce and abandon) embodies love, while Andrea might as well be hate incarnate — a duality that drives Delaporte and de La Patellière’s thrillingly modern adaptation. Though comfortable with both pageantry and flair, the co-directors resist the showier flourishes that tripped up Martin Bourboulon in “The Three Musketeers,” remaining focused on the theme of revenge throughout. The film covers serious ground in three hours, leaving just a few loose ends under-explained (like the fate of Danglars’ fleet). For the rest, it surges forward on Jérôme Rebotier’s dynamic score, which also elevates Niney to the stature the role requires. Back in the Chateau d’If, after sharing the treasure’s whereabouts with Dantès, Abbé Faria tells the future count, “The rest is your story — a man who holds the world in the palm of his hand.” His words aren’t Dantès’ reward, but a test, and it takes the rest of the film for him to realize that to crush the world that wronged him would be to destroy himself in the process.
