My kids... though I loose title on them at age 18.

Oh yea, I also have a human skull and Mercedes covered with diamonds somewhere around here, a bedroom furnished with antiques looted from ancient Pharaonic tombs, the restored grand staircase of the Titanic, a 1/2 scale model of Notre dame with a roller coaster wrapped around it on my private island and a pet chimpanzee in a tuxedo. It's no wonder I can't pay my mortgage with my spending habits.

Seriously though, why in god's name should we brag about our most expensive things on an internet forum? Looking for someone to case?

A couple of concert poster reproductions signed by Warren Zevon. They went up in value in 2003.

Apartment complexes. Or does that fall under housing?

I have a collection of rare and signed, limited edition books worth about $25k-$30k altogether. The single most expensive one is probably a Stephen King book that he published himself (signed and numbered) in the 1990's called "Six Stories" (only 1100 copies in existence) that is worth about $800 - $1000 by itself.

It's really just another competition to see who can have the cheapest "most expensive thing" to brag about how little they spend as a form of superiority over others. It's the flip side to the same "love of money" coin as those that spend exorbitant amounts to "keep up with the Joneses." Just wait until someone posts about having spent on something the collective doesn't approve of...

I like being frugal when it's called for, but I don't like it to be a competition or an emblem of superiority over less frugal people.

I think the most expensive thing I own is my Mother's engagement ring, given to me by her husband after her passing.
The most expensive thing I own that was purchased is our Fifth-wheel camper. Of course we bought it used, but new enough it was not cheap! Hubby was scared of what I might drag home, since I'm such a cheapskate, so he paid for it

Art. When DH and I were both working and making money, we spent some money on some interesting pieces that we still enjoy. The largest is a 32 x 32 serigraph by Chinese artist Jiang Tifeng, entitled "Mountain Ghost." I'd put a photo of it here, but I don't think I have copyright permission.

IF you own it, you can post photos of it.
