The "world's most expensive Christmas tree" has just been unveiled in Germany. It's not a real tree . . . it's 10-feet tall . . . and was created from 2,024 gold coins. It's worth more than $5 MILLION.
If you bought a Christmas tree this year . . . real or fake . . . it's probably safe to say you weren't THRILLED with the price. But rest assured, you did NOT buy the most expensive tree in history.
The "world's most expensive Christmas tree" has just been "unveiled" in Germany. It's not one of those mammoth ones that people plop in the middle of a town square. It's not even a real tree.
It's 10-feet tall . . . SOLID GOLD . . . and was created from 2,024 gold "Vienna Philharmonic" coins. (2,024 for the year 2024.)
Calling it a Christmas tree is a stretch. It doesn't even look like an actual tree . . . it's just the coins in a tetrahedron shape. Which is a "cone" with four sides. And it's topped with a 24-karat gold coin instead of a star or angel.
The "tree" is worth more than $5 MILLION . . . and was created by a precious metals company for publicity, so it's not for sale. (Here's a photo of it.)
