The World’s Most Expensive Toys

Sloane | February 28, 2014

Remember when you were little and it was important to have the best and newest toy on the market? If you didn’t have a Tamagotchi, a Skip-It, or a Pet Rock you were branded unfit for pre-teen society. Over the last few years kids’ toys have gotten a little bit more advanced. Now, instead of having a $30 Slip’N Slide, kids ask for iPhones and iPads. That’s not even the most expensive toy a kid could ask for. The following toys are the most expensive items you can buy for a youngster: 

Barbie: $302,500

A life-size Lamborghini Aventador costs $380,000 which is cheap compared to its toy size companion. The scale model that is 1/8 the size of the regular car is a $4.8 million piece of work featuring gold and platinum rims, and diamonds in the steering wheel, seat, and headlights. No word on whether or not the impressive toy has a tape deck or Bluetooth capabilities.
