On Thursday, ESPN reported that four tickets to the World Cup final are being resold. The price for each? $2,299,998.85.
The tickets are located in the lower deck of MetLife Stadium in Rutherford, NJ, in Block 124, Row 45, Seats 33-36, which is behind one of the goals. Even considering the already absurd pricing that FIFA set — the cheapest remaining tickets to the final cost $10,900 each — the resale for these tickets is at another level of insanity.
So let's say you had a spare $2.3 mil lying around, but weren't much of a soccer fan. Here's what else you could buy for that amount of cash.
12 BMW i7 M70s
Suffice to say, if you have two mil to spare, you probably don't care all that much about gas prices, but if you want to save at the pump, then why not check out one of the nicest EVs ever built?
My colleague John Velasco called the BMW i7 M70 the "limousine of EVs" in his review. And, at a sticker price of $192,075, you could afford to buy a dozen of 'em.
92 LG OLED evo AI G6 4K Smart TV (97 inches)
Let's face it: Most of us are going to watch the World Cup on a TV, so why not go all out? The 2026 LG G6 OLED is the company's top-of-the-line model, with four HDMI 2.1 ports that support 4K at 165Hz, a panel that's claimed to be 20% brighter than the G5, and a new processor, which makes upscaling content even sharper — something you'll definitely want to look for those handballs.
The 97-inch model of this set will set you back a cool $24,999 at Best Buy; it's not for sale yet, but should be out in time for the opening rounds in mid-June.
81 Hestan Outdoor Kitchen Suites
One of the big bummers is that FIFA won't allow tailgating at the World Cup, so it'll be up to you to host the party at your home. And what better way than with the Hestan 12-foot Outdoor Living Suite with Power Burner, Beer Dispenser and Bar?
This fully loaded setup includes a 42-inch grill, 24-inch power burner, 30-inch storage or warming drawer, and a built-in beer tap that can fit a full keg. Even better: You can choose from suites that include a pizza oven or a smoker. Yours for only $28,399!
190 Mac Studios
Forget RAMaggedon! For the price of a World Cup ticket, you could create an entire animation studio from scratch with fully-equipped Mac Studios. This includes the M3 Ultra chip with a 32-core CPU and 80-core GPU, 256GB of RAM, and 16TB of storage.
Yes, it'll set you back $12,099 each at Apple.com (and that's without Final Cut Pro licenses or a display), but your renderings of cats will never be faster.
1959 McDonnell Douglas F4H-1F Phantom II
Why fly commercial when you can jet around the country in the only privately owned F4 Phantom II? This Cold War relic was one of the preeminent jet fighters of its age, capable of a top speed of Mach 2.2 and a range of nearly 1,500 miles. This particular model is available for $950,000, but is only 85% restored. However, you'll still have a nice chunk of change left over to get it flying again.
If you had $2.3 million, what would you spend it on? Let us know in the comments.
