Think that's rich? Two melons recently sold for more than $45,000.
A bunch of 24 Ruby Roman grapes sold for $11,000 at a Japanese auction on Tuesday, NHK World Japan News reported. Takashi Hosokawa, who manages a chain of hot spring hotels on the northern cost of Honshu island, was the winning bidder who set the record for the most expensive single bunch of grapes ever sold.
This variety is grown and sold exclusively in the Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, where it was cultivated over the course of 14 years before it entered the market in 2008 at just over $900. The “dream grape,” as described by the Ruby Roman Club, is a bright red that is about the size of a ping-pong ball. They are prized for their juiciness and sweetness, but low acidity.
