In 2000 $8m bid in New York for John James Audubon's four-volume (1827-38) Birds of America is the highest price paid for a book.

There are 48 known copies of Gutenberg's Bible in existence. One sold at Christie's in 1978 for $2.2million so the Audubon has the Gutenberg beat threefold.

There is plenty of real estate around the world that easily beats the value of these books.

No. 5 1948 by Jackson Pollock sold for $142.7million. Paintings beat the books easily.

The international space station is indeed the most expensive item ever, but it's in space and not generally for sale. If you want to own excess, it's usually fine art that is highest.

What is the most expensive item in the world?

OK, here it is, the world's most expensive single item.

There's just one problem, it's not on the Earth, if fact it's orbiting it about 240 miles up.

The International Space Station also called the Sixteen nation station will cost about $100,000,000,000.00 USD, thats $100 billion.

It looks like that illicit information from Ferrari was pretty expensive for McLaren - like $49 million more expensive than whatever they paid for it at the time.
