Yubari King Melon: up to $60,000
Remember when there were a few cyclones up north in Australia and the price of bananas skyrocketed and everyone freaked out? Well, prepare yourself for a proper brain explosion, because the world's most expensive fruit is not, in fact, Queensland bananas, but Japan's Yubari king melon, which has been known to sell for up to 5 million yen, or about $60,000. A piece. These rock melons are grown in the small city of Yubari in Hokkaido, and are known for their high sugar content and perfect roundness. They normally sell for about $250 each; however, auctions of special melons can bring insane prices.
