While these are often sold at affordable prices, have you ever pondered the cost of the world's most expensive water bottle? Meet the Acqua di Cristallo Tributo a Modigliani, which carries a jaw-dropping price tag of approximately Rs 50 lakhs.

According to reports, the packaging of the bottle is made of solid 24-carat gold, and the water inside has 5 grams of 24-carat gold mixed in, which helps add alkalinity to the water. The water in this bottle is sourced from three different points on Earth - Fiji, France, and even the cold glaciers of Iceland.
