MOST EXPENSIVE HOT DOG IN THE WORLD U.N. Development Program, Stockholm, Sweden: $130 The United Nations wanted to make a point about world hunger, so in September 2005 they sold the most expensive hot dog ever at that time, but only for a few days. Part of an initiative to place a spotlight on global poverty, regular American hot dogs (i.e. nothing fancy whatsoever) were sold for $130 US in Stockholm. Why $130? The folks with the United Nations Development Program figured out that for the average family in the Western world, spending this much on a hot dog was roughly equivalent to the purchase of a regularly priced hotdog by one of the billion people living on less than $1 US per day. Among all the extravagance on this list, it puts things into harsh perspective.
