Can you guess four of the most expensive burgers on the planet?
The Golden Boy ($8000+):
Get ready to put up a small house deposit in order to devour this beast of a burger, created by Dutch diner De Daltons. It arrives on a platter of whisky-infused smoke and is loaded with premium ingredients including A5 Wagyu beef, King crab, Beluga caviar, vintage Iberico jamon, smoked duck egg mayo, white truffle, kopi luwak coffee BBQ sauce, pickled Tiger tomato and Japanese match tea, all wrapped up in Dom Perignon infused gold-coated buns.

The Fleurburger 5000 ($7500+):
Just a little cheaper, The Fleurburger could be found at Fleur inside the Mandalay Bay Casino in Las Vegas before it closed down and was made by Chef Hubert Kellers. As well as the Wagyu beef patty, find a slab of seared foie gras and plenty of truffle shavings, along with the very exclusive bottle of 1995 Chateau Petrus from Bordeaux that comes with your burger feast.
The Absolutely Ridiculous Burger ($3000+):
Head to Michigan in the USA to find this giant burger at Mallie’s Sports Bar & Grill, weighing in at 153 kg and a whopping 540,000 calories. You need to order this calorific creation 72 hours in advance as it takes 22 hours to cook and contains 6 kg of lettuce, 13 kg of bacon, 13 kg of tomatoes and 16 kg of cheese, with fries and a drink on the side.
Burger Extravagant, from Serendipity3.
Le Burger Extravagant ($450+):
Served on a gold-dusted roll held together with a gold diamond toothpick, this burger also needs to be booked in advance at New York restaurant, Serendipity3. Wagyu beef is served in white truffle butter, topped with James Montgomery cheddar, black truffles, a fried quail egg, caviar and crème fraiche.
