If college degrees count, then my MS in Finance from a private university.
If only physical things count, then a laptop I bought for $1000 in 2004 (which doesn't work today and I'm using a cheaper yet better laptop to type this message.)
Otherwise it is a toss-up between my pop-up camper and home stereo system @$3-4k. Nothing else comes close. Most of the furniture has been used or hand me down antique. No other fancy toys, inexpensive taste in clothing, etc.
Aside from nebulous things that I can't really see as an object (shares of mutual funds, lasik surgery, education) I'd say is probably a desktop computer I bought about 10 years ago. I wasted some good buck on car stereo equipment in my 20s too.

quite a few things looking at what other people are listing
1. ex wife right up there
2. farm land~ about $500,000.
3. a crane for our ag construction business~ about $450,000
4. Figuring inflation in when I was 19 I had to pay for a semiload of farm machinery~ good wages at time about 60 cents per hour~ and I wrote a chech for $21000 on a checking account that had $25 in it. Did some scrambling and check was covered before it was cashed!
If we're not counting that, next most expensive would be...drumroll...being the proud owner of several root canals.
