World’s Most Expensive Medicines
At the top of the list is Soliris (eculizumab), produced by Alexion Pharmaceuticals to treat, ahem, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. PNH is a rare and life-threatening disease and is the only form of hemolytic anemia—a deficiency in red blood cells caused by their destruction, as opposed to low production—that is acquired rather than inherited.
PNH affects approximately 8,000 Americans. It’s because of that low figure that Alexion can charge $409,500 per year for the most expensive drug in the world. The rarity of the condition means there are very few competitors to compete with for pricing.
The second most expensive medicine in the world is Elaprase at $375,000 annually. It was created by Shire Pharmaceuticals to treat Hunter Syndrome, which has symptoms ranging from a flattened nose to brain damage and afflicts 2,000 people worldwide. The third is Naglazyme, produced by BioMarin Pharmaceuticals, which treats an even rarer disorder that enlarges the head and causes short stature. That drug costs $365,000 annually.
The World’s Most Expensive Houses
Ah, how amazing it would be if we could afford to make our dream house a reality! Surely, each of us has dreamt of our own private house in a dream place having dream features, making us feel in heaven at least for the few moments that we fantasize them. Sadly, most of our dreams don’t come true because they are out of the world. There are some people though, who have been able to bring their dreams to reality and build their own amazing villas, shelling out even millions! Here’s a look at the world’s most expensive houses.
1. Antilla, Mumbai:
Few days ago, I listed the world’s Richest People, and the owner of this house was on the list. Owned by the world’s fifth richest man and the head of the Indian Petro-chemical Reliance Industries, Mukesh Ambani, this villa is the most expensive house in the entire world. The cost of this magnificent villa is a whooping one billion dollars! It is an impressively tall 27 storey mansion spreading across an area of 48,780 square feet or 4,532 metres. It is 570 feet tall! No other house in the world is even close to this beauty. With all the ballrooms, double height ceilings, crystal chandelier ceilings and 600 servants working there, it is no wonder that it sits safely at the top position of the world’s most expensive houses. It is located precisely on Altamount Road, Cumballa Hill South Mumbai.
2. Villa Leopolda, Cote d’Azur France:
Second in the list of the top expensive houses in the world is the Villa Leopolda which is worth walloping $525 million. The villa was built way back in the year 1902 by King Leopold II of Belgium. It is the home of the widow of the French Banker Edmond Safira, Lily Safira who lives there presently. The villa has 19 bedrooms and is complete with sports courts, bowling alley, a movie theatre, many kitchens and dining rooms.
3. One Hyde Park – The Penthouse, London:
This house is worth $200 million. Might not have been this expensive if it wasn’t the penthouse of the elite number 1 Hyde Park Address. The penthouse is built as an abode the rich and famous as it has everything from bullet proof windows, SAS guard, secret tunnel that leads to the Mandarin Hotel, iris scanners and even panic rooms. The whole building is well equipped with squash courts, wine tasting rooms and communal spas, et cetera. 24 hour room service is served at the penthouse.
4. Fairfield Pond, The Hamptons:
This is reportedly the largest residential compound in all of America. It stretches to about 63 acres of land and is worth $170 million. The house has 29 lavish bedrooms, a bowling alley, 5 sports courts, et cetera. It faces the beach and is owned by Ira Rennert. The house even boasts of an amazing $150,000 hot tub.
5. Hearst Mansion, Beverly Hills:
Famous as the house that was used in The Godfather movie, also famous as the inspiration in “Citizen Kane” for the main character along with being known as the place where the late President John F Kennedy stayed for his honeymoon, this mansion is worth $165 million and it used to be home of William Randolph Hearst who is a publishing giant. The main features of this house are the 29 brilliant bedrooms and 3 pools. The fact that the mansion has Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes as well as David Beckham and Victoria Beckham for neighbours is the icing on the cake for the status of this palace.

World’s most expensive purse worth $3.8 million
If diamonds are a girl’s best friend, then there will be few women in the world who won’t swoon over this handbag. Crowned by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s most expensive, the "1001 Nights Diamond Purse" is valued at $3.8 million.
The heart-shaped bag is encrusted with more than 4,517 diamonds – 105 yellow, 56 pink and 4,356 colorless. The diamonds on the bag weigh a whopping total of 381.92 carats.“The Mouawad 1001 Nights Diamond Purse is designed to mesmerize with its lavish attention to detail and elaborate workmanship incorporating thousands of diamonds,” said Pascal Mouawad, co-guardian of the House of Mouawad, which was founded in 1890.
The bag was handcrafted from 18-carat gold. It took 10 artisans, working over a period of four months, an incredible 1,100 hours to create the purse.
But this isn’t the first time that Dubai-based designer Mouawad has gone out on a limb with its diamond creations. The Dubai-based jewelry design house has created several bras made out of diamonds, including the Very Sexy Fantasy Bra for Victoria’s Secret.
The purse was on display at the Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition over the weekend of Feb. 20. There has been no word yet if anyone has bought the purse.

List of cities proper by population
This is a list of the most populous cities of the world defined according to the concept of city proper (an urban locality without its suburbs). A city proper is a locality defined according to legal or political boundaries and an administratively recognized urban status that is usually characterized by some form of local government.[1][2][3] "World Urbanization Prospects", a United Nations publication, defines the population of a city proper as "the population living within the administrative boundaries of a city."[4] The book continues to say that "city proper as defined by administrative boundaries may not include suburban areas where an important proportion of the population working or studying in the city lives."
The administrative city proper may correspond to a single municipality or may consist of a well-defined assembly[vague] of several local government units.[citation needed] The populations listed are for the administratively-defined city and not for the urban area nor the metropolitan area.[5] Statistical definitions for each city, approximate surface area, and population density are also indicated. The term city can take on many meanings throughout the world. For the purposes of this list, the definition of a city as a primarily urban locality is used.[6] This list enumerates the population of some of the world's largest cities, the boundaries of which may or may not correspond to those of municipalities.
