Truffles

$330,000 for roughly 3 pounds of truffles, that comes out to a little over $100,000 per pound.

UK Guardian: White truffles fetch $330,000 at auction
The lot included a huge truffle dug up in the central Tuscany region weighing 900 grams (about 2lb) as well as one found in Molise weighing in at 400g.

Talk about conspicuous spending - $330,000 correctly invested could go a long way to help someone retire.
