Beluga Caviar
A taste for Caviar seems to be the only thing that has trickled down in the years since Reaganomics. Commercial farms and different varieties have made the nose-up hors d'oeuvre easily attainable and more affordable. But the most exclusive version of this salty roe to have on your mother of pearl spoon comes from the beluga sturgeon, found primarily in the Caspian Sea. According to Guinness World Records, the most expensive caviar is Almas, from the Iranian Beluga, which typically sells for around $35,000 per kilogram (though this farm-raised version can set you back over $100,000). Since the fish has become critically endangered, sale of true beluga caviar has been illegal in the U.S. since 2005. Not technically a problem for anyone with a private jet at their disposal.
