"world's most expensive brick"

Even this insult gives the Cybertruck too much credit. That piece of shit isn't worth anywhere near as much as the actual world's most expensive brick: a standard 400-troy-ounce gold brick, for instance, is worth about $930K today.

The largest one is 15 million dollars O⁠_⁠o

Those are called "bars" and not bricks, it even says so in your link. So technically it cannot qualify as the world's most expensive brick since it isn't a brick at all.

But gold-pressed latinum comes in bricks so I think they would win.
