Think of your dream property, car, Watch, Jewellery Piece and then think a little harder and you’ll begin to get an idea of what the most expensive these things in the world look like.Here are 5 such things that you might never be able to afford in this lifetime, and if you're able to afford, you might not see the value in the price tag. Let's see what they are:
1. Buckingham Palace might not be put up for sale anytime soon but, if it was, it would be worth around $6.7 billion dollars. With 240 bedrooms as well as a swimming pool and doctor’s surgery, it’s a place called home by the British Royal Family and is also open to the public for guided tours. 
In total, this rich house—if you can call it a mere house—contains 775 rooms: 19 state rooms, 92 offices, and 78 bathrooms. It’s also got a huge team of staff as well as beautiful gardens. Rumour has it, there are a few other secret rooms dotted throughout this huge luxury mansion.
2. In 1964, the 250 GTO won the Tour de France Automobile – marking the ninth year in a row that Ferrari won that race. Only 36 of these cars were made between 1962 and 1963; the specific Ferrari that’s the most expensive in the world, at an unbelievable $70,000,000 price point, was victorious not only in the Tour de France, but it also placed in the Le Mans.
With a top speed of 174 miles per hour and an acceleration of 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) in 6.1 seconds, its stats wouldn’t stand up to the hypercars of the modern day. However, in the ‘60s, it was the fastest in the world – and, now, decades later, it remains the most expensive car in the world of all time by a long shot.
3.Graff Diamonds Hallucination
The most expensive watch ever made is another Graff Diamonds creation. The Hallucination is, as the name suggests, truly breathtaking and brilliantly fantastical. 
Featuring a kaleidoscopic array of 110 carats of different coloured diamonds in a range of different cuts, set into a platinum bracelet, The Hallucination brings high-fashion to the world of horlogerie.
4. The Hope Diamond The most expensive and perhaps the most famous jewel in the world is a 45.52 carat blue stone known as the Hope Diamond. Believed to have been discovered in India in the 1600s, the Hope Diamond was bought by King Louis XIV in 1668. This $250 million worth carat Fancy Dark Gray-Blue antique cushion cut diamond was later stolen during a crown jewel looting in 1791 but resurfaced in London in 1839.
5. 

World's costliest: House, Car, Watch, Jewellery Piece, Painting

From the priciest house to the costliest painting and beyond, here are 5 such things that you might never be able to afford in this lifetime

At a time when lemons and tomatoes are making it on the list of expensive items we look at some of the priciest things money can buy!&nbsp; World's most expensive home:&nbsp;Buckingham Palace&nbsp; You may not see a "For Sale" sign on this London property but home to the British Monarch is valued at $6.7 billion dollars. This 775 room&nbsp;palace has served as the monarchy's headquarter&nbsp;since 1837. Spread across 39 acres, the residence has everything it needs to be its own self-sufficient village, including a post office, movie theatre, police station and clinic.

Zooming in with a $70 million price tag is the ultimate collectible car -&nbsp;Ferrari 250 GTO&nbsp;also dubbed "Il Mostro&rdquo;&mdash;the monster. With only 36 of these cars ever manufactured, it calls for top billing at an auction as a nine-time in a row winner of the&nbsp;Tour de France. With a top speed of 174 miles per hour it is definitely not the fastest but remains the costliest car by a mile and yes they are still in running condition.&nbsp; World's most expensive watch:&nbsp;Graff Diamonds Hallucination
Even if your eyes are able to handle the sparkle, the price tag will surely blind you. The&nbsp;Graff Diamonds Hallucination clocks in with a price of $55 million and can be considered more a piece of jewellery with 110 carats of different coloured diamonds in a range of different cuts, set into a platinum bracelet. But if one had to evaluate the worth of a watch for just its making and brand then the&nbsp; Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime commands pole position; worth a whopping $31 million. 
World's most expensive jewellery:&nbsp;The&nbsp;Hope Diamond The Hope Diamond is a 45.52-carat diamond originally extracted in the 17th century from the Kollur Mine in Guntur&nbsp;and&nbsp;was bought by King Louis XIV in 1668. This $250 million worth carat Fancy Dark Gray-Blue antique cushion cut diamond was later stolen during a crown jewel looting in 1791 but resurfaced in London in 1839.&nbsp;According to the legend, there is a curse that comes with the glitter,&nbsp;a curse that foretold bad luck and death not only for the owner of the diamond but for all who touched it.
World's most expensive painting:&nbsp;Salvator Mundi The image of Christ as The Saviour of the World was billed as the Last da Vinci&nbsp;at Christie's 2017 and broke all&nbsp;records when it was bought for $450 million in 2017 by the Saudi Royal family. Not been seen in public since then but it remains in the news as art connoisseurs continue to debate if the&nbsp;Salvator Mundi&nbsp;is indeed a work by the master or just his assistants. In an era where digital art and Beeple's make headlines, Da Vinci&nbsp;still remains the holy grail for collectors.&nbsp;

"ESG is an outrageous scam! Shame on S&P Global," Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted as the EV giant out kicked off the S&P500's green and clean ESG index. Here is what happened-:

ESG is a scam. It has been weaponised by phony social justice warriors," Musk added.S&P Global's ration was that while Tesla's ESG score has remained fairly stable year-over-year, it was pushed further down the ranks relative to its global industry group peers." So Tesla is green but some of the other manufacturers are getting greener. But casting a shade of grey on the ratings is also Tesla's treatment of worker says the global index creator. 
"A media and stakeholder analysis identified two separate events centered around claims of racial discrimination and poor working conditions at Tesla's Fremont factory, as well as its handling of the NHTSA investigation after multiple deaths and injuries were linked to its autopilot vehicles," S&P Global said.
Those events led to a lower ESG score for Tesla, leading to its elimination from the index.
