I've read about some incidents where cars were sold for bitcoin, A Tesla[1] and a Lamborghini[2] to be precise. I can also remember seeing a property[3] being sold for 1.6M in bitcoins.

You can buy this gold coin with about $1300 worth of bitcoins: https://www.amagimetals.com/1-oz-american-gold-eagle
Or this gold bar with about $13000 worth of bitcoins: https://www.amagimetals.com/gold/bars/10-oz-pamp-suisse-gold-bar-999-fine-gold

If that's not enough, you can buy 100 of them.

Houses. I haven't seen in my country but I've seen on other websites being listed. There are many houses out there that people want to sell, even for Bitcoins! And there are also people selling cars. That's probably the most expensive thing you can buy, if not gold and silver.

A lot of the early adopters have bought expensive cars and some even had personalized number plates with Bitcoin in it's name. I think the Tesla was

one of the cars I would have bought. You will possibly never know what is being bought, because people with loads of coins try to avoid the public

attention. Some guys have invested bitcoins into buying pre-configured "white label" gambling sites.  ;D

Holy anchovy, imagine how much that is worth today!! A bitcoin is already 50k in my currency (php). BTC50 should it fall on my lap right now would solve all of my problems. :D

It's probably the website SatoshiDice, which was sold for 126,315 BTC back in 2013.
You can find more info about the sale here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=101902.msg2751536#msg2751536

Not sure if this counts though.

I would say the United States Dollar [USD] is the most expensive thing sold for Bitcoins.

There is people that just purchase Bitcoin for fun during the Police auctions (whether the person was actually planing on making money is a mystery):

Code:
http://thehackernews.com/2016/08/bitcoin-auction.html

That person purchased 2,700 Bitcoin and it was worth $1.6 million and now it is worth $2,860,623 so I think that the person is pretty happy if he chose to hold onto his coins. I know that this may not be the most expensive though there is Tim Draper who purchased around 30,000 Bitcoins (worth around $31,765,800 now) during an auction.

When Tim dumps his Bitcoin in each market he probably would say

it was 10,000 bitcoin, not 50,000. I also remember it when I read the question. It was funny actually.

and I find a yacht priced at 22305.134 BTC ($11000000). but it was 2 years ago.

Most people here are saying about the pizza guy and which is the most expensive i guess if we are basing on the current price of bitcoin but speaking into these years i do heard about cars being sold for bitcoin like tesla and i read the news about someone purchase a villa.

The answer will depend on what year it has happened and what is the value of bitcoin at that time. Let us not go back to the past and say that pizza was the mos expensive things bought, the reason is that bitcoins value at that time was so small so we can never say that that was the most expensive things that was sold in exchange for bitcoin. The most expensive thing or item that was bought using bitcoins in history considering the value of bitcoin at that time was a car and a piece of land. Even if bitcoins value was low or not but the fact that it was sold at hundreds of thousand of dollars worth of bitcoin.

It does depend on which year we are referring to and same as you said that pizza was happen on the past when bitcoin price to its lowest it may considered to be the most expensive seeing on the price now but I think cars and land would really be the possible thing could bitcoin can buy now.

I'd say domains. Here's a list, and on it BTC.com supposedly sold for 1 Million USD http://www.cryptonames.com/bitcoin-domain-sales
I think I heard rumors that the real sum was much smaller and they hyped it to get free advertising.
If you're interested in expensive goods for bitcoin, go to this site: https://www.bitpremier.com/

The last year I have bought for myself a new smartphone with bitcoins. I was saving for half of the year and of course I cashed out my coins first cause of that moment I had no place in my city where I could buy something with bitcoins, well nothing changed about it now and if you will mention to buying on Amazon with bitcoins to get 15% I will tell you that the delivery to my place costs a lot and this discaunt doesn't make goods from Amazon at least somehow cheaper than in some ordinary place.

Recently in an article came to know about a person who found a person and bought his home paying in terms of bitcoin. With the difference in price that happened on the time of agreement to buy and final settlement made a big profit. This too had helped him buy a Lamborghini.

Tesla is selling (or was selling) their E-cars for Bitcoin.
And there also has been private houses/Villas Sold for Bitcoin's yet.
I probably would be waiting for 6 confirmations with those high amounts :D

not only bitcoin was popular the forum (bitcointalk.org) made more popular too until today.

There a few places where you can buy and sell properties so they sell masions so that's pretty expensive. Also there is a German site that sells exotic sports cars. You can anything fpr bitcoin even if it means having someone buy it for you then pay them with bitcoins or if you have that much money to begin with the seller will take any form of money including bitcoins. Its not like the seller will turn down a good offer just because its on bitcoins.

Your story is awesome to hear but in my country today specially in asia, I don't hear stories like this on expensive things sold for bitcoins. Having that kind of idea is very nice to hear, and I do believe that this possiblility will happen, because if it happens on both persons do have bitcoin on their online wallets they will surely make bitcoin as their mode of payments; if they have an expensive things like a car or a house.

I think the first pizza which was purchased by Bitcoin was the most expensive thing sold for Bitcoin. That pizza cost more than 10000 Bitcoin and according to the current price, it is more valuable than any houses or lamborghini car. Damn it, I wish I was the guy who received those Bitcoin.

I do not have a clear figure in price. But what's sold on the dark web can be worth billions of dollars. And the trade there is usually done with bitcoin.
Security vulnerabilities of very important firms, Special user information etc. is being sold.

The things that I saw and got my attention was the brand new 120’ tri-deck mega yacht With a hefty asking price of 22,305.134 BTC that was $11 Million that was being advertised on BitPremier, an online bitcoin-only luxury marketplace.
well there are tons of expensive things that I saw by clicking search on google.com so why does you didn't see all this things,

Honestly i dont have any idea also, on what are the most expensive things sold for bitcoins. But why you should buy the things that is expensive if you can buy a lot of small things in all marketplaces, coz there are still many places you can buy the most important and luxurious ones. But it is good also to buy the things even it is expensive as long as it can make you happy like buying a house for 5750 BTC or ferrari 2200 BTC

This is not what op meant to ask IMO.As he said he searched the internet but didn't find the answer.
Someone paying lots of btc for a pizza doesn't makes pizza valuable.It is still a pizza worth few dollars.
Op wants to know the most expensive thing bought with bitcoin.

i think now it is becomig a very simple thing to buy a house with bitcoin. i think it just need the two parties to agree to do the bargain in bitcoin and then it can be possible. i think in future we can expect more than buying or selling a house using bitcoin.

I wouldn't be selling such if I was the owner unless I really hit rock bottom. I wonder what hidden reasons are for selling it.

AFAIK, Someone anonymous spend about BTC 800 for buy a villa at Bali ( Indonesia ) on 19/3/2014
He made payment through BitPremier ! It was the most expensive things sold for bitcoins at my country

http://tekno.kompas.com/read/2014/03/20/1608466/Pertama.Bitcoin.Dipakai.Beli.Vila.di.Bali

Did happen this 2014 so its still pertty cheap for the buyer. I wonder if he kept the rest of that 800 BTC on his wallet up tow now because he still has tons of USD. Having just 20BTC is pretty rich these days. Investing it for long term on altcoins of simply on BTC is going to be profitable for hims still.

During that time, 10000 bitcoin may not matter to you. I'm not familiar with the story but I would assume its going to be less than a hundred USD.  Sure its going to be expensive this time. 10000 BTC is worth more than 10 million already, you're not going to earn that much even if you worth your whole life and sell your kidney and liver. Its still going to be less than million. 10M BTC is worth more than freedom these days. If I have that BTC right now, I could buy an island and create my own city.

I've also heard about that pizza that was sold for enormous amount of Bitcoins so probably it was the most expensive pizza ever and I don't know if it was worth it. But I've also heard that some guy was buying a Porshe with Bitcoins so that could be also one of the most expensive items if he managed to buy it.
