C-5 Galaxy airplane...that thing had to have costed in the hundreds of millions
i saw one of the OCC chopper bike (liberty bike) once...
saw a 200k cisco switch (or maybe it was a bigass router?, i dunno, freaking huge)...

I thought this was going to be a Yankees joke of some sort. Oh well...

I was going to say you win, but I've seen the NYC skyline.

I've also seen some of the largest private yachts in the world...

 

[KLin]

Downtown Chicago, from the air.

 

[Midlander]

Space shuttle.

I guess it depends on how you define expensive.

 

[giantpinkbunnyhead]

This is hard to answer. It's nothing to see a $225 million aircraft but a car at $500K is quite a treat.

So, without going for obviously expensive but not-so-unusual things like a/c carriers, skyscrapers, etc..... I would have to say...

hmm. one year at the LA auto show they had the only surviving 1906 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, insured at 40 million dollars.

 

[George P Burdell]

Mostly ships (anywhere from $15 to $100 million)

 

[KLin]

Actually, downtown San Francisco is probably worth more than downtown Chicago.

[Paratus]

International Space Station, Space Shuttle, Soyuz, & Progress.

Ah, didn't think of this but me too. Did a marching show on the Nimitz a number of years back.
