The Top 10 Most Expensive Toys Worth Millions Of Dollars

Toys are made for children. Whether it was your first ball or first doll or first matchbox or first gadget or first remote control vehicle, you will never forget the joy of playing with these things. And you will out of options. As you get older, your taste for toys may evolve from dolls and teddy bears to video game consoles and hobby toys like cameras. You may even be enamored with a board game or two.

The problem with toys, however, is that most of it ends up broken. That usually happens when you let a kid handle a delicate thing. Most of the time, we give the kid a slight reprimand while keeping in mind that it would also provide him with valuable experience. However, what if the toy costs a million dollars or more? Would you even let your kid near such an expensive thing? Would you even still classify such things as toys for kids?

Here is a list of the top 10 one million dollar toys.


1. L’ Oiseleur – $6.25 million



It is not only the most expensive doll in the world, but also the most expensive toy as well. The doll stands four feet tall and outfitted in classic renaissance clothing encrusted with real pearls and tied up by threads made of real gold. It plays the tune of “The March of Rois” on the flute, with the fingers moving along the fingers and with birds singing and flapping their wings to the beat of the music. Christian Bailly, who is known to have made toys for celebrities like the magician David Copperfield, actor Dustin Hoffman and producer and director Steven Spielberg, created this toy. No external power is required to operate the toy, as it relies instead on a golden key to move the spring-driven cogs and gears.


2. Madame Alexander Eloise – $5 million



This is a great doll that can pass off as jewelry because of the amount of diamonds encrusted into it. it is not as rare as one would think of a $5 million doll should be because the creator made five of this. Each one is identical however, meaning they all wear clothes designed by Christian Dior and Katherine Baumann. The doll is also covered in fur made by Oscar de la Renta and decorated with Swarovski crystals. As mentioned, the doll is encrusted with diamonds weighing nine carats.


3. Lamborghini Aventador Model Car – $4.8 million

That is $400,000 for the real deal. An engineer named Robert Gulpen created a model version called Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 and it costs $4.8 million. That is $4.8 million for a miniature version. In other words, a model version costs 12 times more than the real thing. It is made of platinum, carbon fiber, gold and diamonds. It also took the engineer 500 man-hours to finish the project.

4. 1908 Honus Wagner Trading Card – $2.8 million



Well, baseball cards are hard to classify. They are collector’s items that fans love to have. But there is no denying that we start collecting and trading cards when we were kids.
