Although the Rubik’s Cube may be tough to solve, finding the world’s most expensive Rubik’s Cube wasn’t. The world’s most expensive Rubik’s cube is the Masterpiece Cube, produced by Diamond Cutters International in 1995.
The Masterpiece Cube is regular size, fully functional and boasts 22.5 karats of amethyst, 34 karats of rubies, and 34 karats of emeralds and the cube is made of 18 karat gold and if you would like to get your hands on one, it’ll cost you a puzzling $1,500,000.00 USD.
If that’s a little out of your price range, here are some free Rubik’s cube fun facts:
