Have you ever wondered what the most expensive thing you own is? Unfortunately, while your student loan might be the most costly thing under your name, you can't really re-sell it. Still, what one deems a valuable possession may very much differ from someone else's understanding. In a general sense, the most expensive object is one that has high monetary value or could sell for quite a buck on the market. (And no, your kidney is not considered your most valuable possession, although it could sell high on the black market)
Some time ago, someone on AskReddit posed the question, "What is the most expensive object you own?" Needless to say, the interpretations of this query varied, yet the answers were shockingly great. Some saw it as an opportunity to share their most expensive debts, some remembered the value of their vital organs, and, well, others took it not figuratively by sharing the most expensive objects they own. From the most obvious answers, such as a house or a car, to things like antique keyboard musical instruments and one’s Steam library, Redditors had a lot of expensive possessions to share.
Below, we've compiled some of the best (humorous and/or interesting) answers from the thread, sharing the most expensive things people own that will surely make you rethink the value of items at your house. What's the most costly thing under your name? Which object you own has the highest price tag? If you decide to share it in the comments, make sure you don't disclose any of your location details and have a secure internet connection, since we don't want to lure in any thieves!

"I have a chef's knife worth 450 dollars, which was bought for 400. Still have a receipt. It's part of a special design line by a famous knifemaker, so as long as it's maintained properly it will never lose value, and may well increase in value over the years. Especially after the man dies I imagine."

"My computer case. My 13 year old genius self thought that the only USB ports you could get were on the front panel so I bought a $350 case that's big and ugly and has enough drive slots to host a website."

"Assuming we ignore the house and car, the most expensive thing I have is my teeth. I had some seriously screwed-up dentition, and I hate to think how much my parents ended up spending to get it all fixed (braces, 2 lots of plates, a couple of surgeries, the list goes on)."

"Dental costs add up to so much. I admittedly went for years without proper dental checkups and when I finally went in to get things looked at, I was looking at over $4000 in total costs. A crown or two, along with the accompanying root canals, and lots of fillings. It’s worth it, though, I think. I’m doing much better now but still need a few things done. Got all the most expensive things out of the way."

"I have a real (not repro) copy of Hagane for the SNES. Sadly the label is gone and it's a loose cart but it should still fetch 600 USD easy. Technically my computer cost more but those depreciate in value quickly and I have Magic Decks worth over a grand but that's a sum of parts rather than a single thing."
