Fast food giant McDonald's has been in the news recently for multiple reasons. The burger joint has collaborated with Korean sensation BTS to create an interesting new BTS Meal.

The item was sold by a user named 'polizna' who resides in Utah in the United States. The chicken nugget's bidding went on for two whole days on eBay, where it was finally sold for USD 99,997 or Rs. 73 lakhs.
There were two reasons why the chicken nugget was so much in demand. Firstly, it was a part of McDonald's BTS meal which fans have been going gaga about.

These two factors drove up the price to nearly 100,000 US dollars - an amount quite surprising for a single chicken nugget.
