As most of us prepare for the Christmas holiday by spending every last penny we have to make our kids and loved ones happy, some of the richest people in the world are throwing amazingly expensive gifts to their people, without even a small thought of running out of cash.

 

So, what is the most expensive gift ever given?   We can tell you this, if we all put our money together, we still wouldn't be able to afford it.

It must be nice to be the one of the richest men in the world. He probably has bigger problems than I could ever imagine, but one of them isn't "how will I pay my bills". Roman Abramovich, who is worth an estimated $8.7 billion, wanted to show his girlfriend how much he loved her, so he bought her a sculpture. Not just any sculpture, one of the most expensive ever.

'Walking Man I' is a bronze sculpture from Alberto Giacometti, and was purchased by Abramovich for a mere $104.3 Million and then given to his girlfriend. Ahhh, isn't love grand..or should we say...isn't love hundreds of millions.

Good luck living up to that. Of course you don't have to. Just provide security and love to those around you and presents  don't really matter. Well, that's what we tell ourselves.
