Northern Territory Mangos

Price: $50,000 Where: Sydney, Australia
Why so expensive?: In 2012, a tray of 12 Northern Territory mangos sold for $50,000 at an auction in Sydney. The proceeds went to the Prostate Council Foundation of Australia, the Cancer Council of NSW, and OzHarvest. Australia produces a lot of mangoes—7.2 million trays in 2013/2014—so the fruit’s sky-high price tag was most likely for charity’s sake.
