Shocked about that $2,000 Christmas tree you just saw online? Wait till you read about the world’s most expensive Christmas trees! Here are just some of them:
Soo Kee Jewellery Diamond Christmas Tree
USD 1,005,000
This million-dollar tree was produced in 2007 by Soo Kee Jewellery in Bugis Junction, Singapore. Standing at nearly 20 feet, the tree was encrusted with 3,762 crystal beads, 21,798 glittering diamonds (totalling 913 carats), and 456 Christmas lights. Bedecking it with these gems is just logical since it was produced by a jewellery store. With this 7,000-pound tree, Christmas is at its most lavish!
Ginza Tanaka 24-Karat Gold Christmas Tree
USD 1,600,000
Another tree produced by a jewellery shop, the Ginza Tanaka Christmas tree boasts of 46 pounds worth of gems – with 240 jewels made up of pearls and diamonds! The 24-karat gold tree was on display at the jewellery shop in Osaka, Japan back in 2008.
Takashimaya Christmas Tree
USD 1,800,000
This tree may be petite at only 40 centimeters but don’t underestimate its ability to stun you with its sparklers! Festooned with 400 diamonds from Australia and southern Africa, this tree was on display in 2009 at the Takashimaya department store in China. Aside from showcasing 100 carats of diamonds, the tree also flaunted beautiful preserved roses and a teddy bear. Now that’s one really steep but cute little Christmas tree.
Emirates Palace Christmas Tree
USD 11,400,000
And the most expensive Christmas tree of all goes to… the Emirates Palace Christmas Tree!
This tree is only 13 feet, way shorter than most commercial artificial Christmas trees. Yet, it was a record breaker in 2010 with its $11 million worth of jewellery ornaments from Style Gallery. The extravagant tree was decorated with 181 pearls, diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and other precious gems. For one of the most expensive hotels in the world, it is certainly befitting!
