The most expensive house sold in the US cost $0bn (to the nearest billion). The most expensive private island that I can find any reference to online, Larry Ellison’s island in Hawaii, cost $0bn (likewise). The most expensive painting ever sold at auction, Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi, went for $0bn. The ten most expensive historical artifacts ever sold at auction, combined, comes to $0bn. The most expensive superyacht ever just about rounds up to $1bn, and the whole point of a superyacht is to be insanely expensive. Anyone who thinks billionaires should be incentivized with more money isn’t paying attention.
