Penthouse triplex of the Hotel Pierre - While the $70 million price tag is the “highest ever listed for a city residence,” I find the price, for once, to be justified. This isn’t any price-inflated handbag—this house is the real deal:
Noka chocolate - too expensive, do not buy - Citing a 1,300% markup over retail … and referencing the other 9 pages of this fantastic exposé, the author demonstrates why the “luxury market” for outrageously priced things such as chocolates can be enormously inflated for no reason. I especially like the references to real chocolatiers at the article’s end.
When you think ‘aerogel,’ think unbelievable - The most expensive chemical substance known to man, more than safron, etc. For example: “Silica aerogel holds 15 entries in the Guinness Book of Records for material properties …” and “it is very strong structurally, able to hold over 2000 times its own weight” oh … it’s “90-99.8%” air, so it’s also almost transparent. Unreal.
