For fans of Tennis, landing a seat in the Royal Box at Wimbledon is the Holy Grail of sporting events. Tickets aren’t available to buy.

There are 74 seats in the Royal Box, situated in the best position on the main court, marking its value somewhere in the region of $222,000.

Two Tortoises From Seychelles
Owned Since: 1972
Valued At: $20,000*
Most of us have pets but probably not two Aldabra giant tortoises. When the Queen was in Seychelles, she saw two of the special animals. They moved to London Zoo with her instead of Buckingham Palace. Before moving to a new pasture, they lived there for some time. It costs somewhere in the region of $10,000 to buy a baby Aldabra tortoise, making this a very costly parting gift. In particular, one tortoise (Jonathan) is a staggering 188 years old, almost breaking the current Guinness World Record.
