most expensive bible in the world

Bible

With so many versions and beliefs surrounding the Bible, one rarely thinks about how much one costs. People instead tend to think about the meanings and stories within the Holy book. But a Bible that is currently being displayed at Saint John’s Abbey and University is changing the way one thinks about Bibles.

Copies of the Bible were once written by hand in calligraphy but that had all changed with the invention of the printing press. The press made it easier and faster to mass-produce copies and doing so by hand was no longer required. However, an artist by the name of Donald Jackson still had the dream of writing a Bible out by hand using calligraphy and so, Saint John’s hired him to do just that.

The Saint John’s Bible as it’s known, is huge in everything from how it was produced to its actual size. It stands two feet tall and is three feet tall and is over one thousand pages in length. The book is bound in seven different volumes. The calligraphy was written on vellum and the quills that were used as writing instruments were dipped in inks and pigments that were all handmade. The Saint John’s Bible has also been coated in gold and silver leaf.

Many important decisions had to be made with the creation of this Bible but the hardest was deciding what version of the Bible would be used. It was finally decided that because the New Revised Standard Version was the version most accepted by Christian churches and so this was the version used. With a sale price of $130,000, this is truly the most expensive Bible in the world.

The Most expensive things in the World

Nail Polish

People have been decorating their nails since before the rise of the Roman Empire, so it’s only natural that someone would create a truly extravagant nail polish. “I Do” is just such a nail polish — and it’s the most expensive nail polish in the world.

Created as a collaboration between women’s beauty magazine Allure, Essie Cosmetics, Platinum Guild International (PGI) and British platinum supplier Johnson Matthey, “I Do” is made with powdered platinum and debuted at JCK-Las Vegas in 2005. The first batch of this luxury nail polish was displayed in a special bottle created by PGI and designer Henry Dunay and made of—you guessed it—pure platinum.

The platinum bottle of “I Do” is valued at $55,000. A normal bottle of the platinum polish can be purchased for a more affordable $250.

The wedding cake has diamonds that are exclusive in application and priceless in value. The design of the cake was for this bridal show and of course is not edible.

Aquarium Fish

Think that having fish as pets is cheap? Well it is if you’re buying goldfish or feeder fish that cost little to replace but there’s one aquarium fish that is not only very costly to replace, it’s also a very rare breed and has a very rare condition, all of which make it the most expensive aquarium fish in the world.

The fish is a platinum arowana and it is 15 inches long. It lives in Singapore, where it is owned by Aro Dynasty, a dragon fish breeder. Its right eye pulls downward and although this is a rare condition, it is not rare for the arowana breed.

However, the pure white color of this particular fish is rare, even amongst its own kind, and is considered a mutation. The fish was displayed at the show Aquarama 2007 where it gained international attention. Shortly after the show, Aro Dynasty received an offer of $80,000 for the fish and after declining, they received another offer of 200 pounds, about $400,000 USD for the fish. Turning that offer down as well, Aro Dynasty still maintains that the fish is not for sale. However, this rare fish is still considered to be the most expensive fish in the world.

Bullets

We're sure you'll get a bang out of this but even if you’re not a hunter of any sort, you may find yourself falling love with the world’s most expensive bullets. This fancy ammo is sold by Bullet Forge, an online merchant who specializes in selling beautifully and custom-made gold, platinum, and silver bullets. While you needn’t worry about losing your precious bullets to violence, you can wear it on a necklace close to your heart, attached by a loop on its base.
The most expensive bullets the retailer sells is a 45 ACP hollow-point that’s made from 14-karat white gold. The tip of the bullet is made from 90 diamonds mounted around a sparkling amethyst. Another type of bullet sold by Bullet Forge, for around the same price, is a similar type of bullet but only white diamonds are seen on the tip and it’s smaller at 9mm.
Both bullets retail for around $3,000 but if you don’t have that kind of money, you needn’t worry. Bullet Forge is not currently accepting orders as they have seen too much demand and are trying to fill current and backorders.
