I saw this somewhere else and it had some good responses.
Whats the most expensive thing you have held or been near in a proiate setting? Not like looking at the Mona Lisa in a museum unless you were moving it or something.

I have two. One is stolen from the other list but it applies to me too.
I sat in a Bugatti Veyron (didnt drive it).
And my degree. A very expensive piece of paper.

I have held several double rifles that were $200K+ each. Did not have a chance to shoot them unfortunately.

I don't think cars should apply to this thread, especially if you didn't drive them. That's like saying that I sat in a hundred million dollar jet while flying to ________ on a United Airlines flight.

I agree about the cars and I dont. I get what you are saying but you are sharing a commercial jet liner with many people. If you flew it by yourself for pleasure then Id count it. Then again, I didnt drive the Bugatti.

25k, also silver and gold a few years back. I don't really think I've touched that much stuff that was outrageously expensive

I play saxophone and got to play a pro Selmer Paris Mark VI valued at $20,000. It was beautiful, high notes sang and low notes had the balls of Tanner fucking Hall. Also the mouthpiece on that thing was like $3,000.

Just though of another weird thing that had a ton of value.

I held my external hard drive with my Bitcoins and ETH back at the end of last year. That was a valuable hard drive at the time (its was sold off then and is mostly empty now).

Flew a $30 million airplane last night. Also once held Jimi Hendrix's Woodstock Stratocaster at a music thing in London. Don't think they'd let people do that anymore haha.

Drove a Lambo Gallardo to the Laguna Beach Concours d'elegance. A friend had too many cars in the show so I got to drive the Lambo. That was the lowest priced car he took that year. If we are sticking to the no car rule, there was the Black No limit AMEX I could buy the ga damn world. Realistically, my kid. In more ways than one.

I work at a marina and one of the members gave me $80 to drive his C52 yacht down the Lake Michigan coast a few miles to his house. Those are around $1,500,000 so probably that.

It seems that the word "held" is far too confusing for some. I've slept in hotels that are worth several hundred million dollars. I've been inside skyscrapers worth billions. I've flown in jets worth several hundred million dollars. However, the things I have HELD are worth significantly less. To help others with this seemingly difficult word, here is an image to assist.

One time I picked my nose in a country with an annual GDP of $18 trillion

Used to work at a credit union, I would count down the vault everyday with a couple hundred G’s. Thinking back on it, pretty crazy how desensitized I was to holding fat bricks of Benjamin’s.

Nothing too outrageous.

Violin worth around 60-80k is probably the most.

How much did that cost? Did they cook it just as-is or season it? If I go to Japan I want to try it.

I hit a dab rig worth 8k one time. Not as expensive as my diploma but i'd still consider it the most ridiculously expensive thing I've ever held, especially consider how delicate those lil fuckers are!

I had an insane job working for a billionaire couple shooting concert videos at their ranch that they turned into a classical concert venue. They were actually very gracious and would loan priceless instruments for their favorite musicians to play. I had no idea there were instruments this expensive but while there, I briefly held a violin and cello that were said to be worth around $1,000,000 usd. Likewise, they had the most expensive private collection of vintage steinway pianos in the world. I can't even guess how much those were worth but definitely played chopsticks on them when waiting around.

My dad sells watches. I've had in my hand some pretty expensive watches. Brands like Patek, A.Lange, Cartier, Bvlgari and more. I'd say the maximum I`ve held is probably around 500k.
