#5 Most Expensive T-Shirts in the World: Adidas Run DMC T-Shirt – $13,000

Hip hop music from the 1980s is still popular today, but back then it was so popular it was a movement of sorts. It's therefore not surprising that some hip hop fans were willing to spend $13,000 for a simple Run DMC T-shirt. This shirt was designed to promote a Run DMC concert and was made in collaboration with Adidas. The shirt is made of pure cotton, white, and features the words RUN DMC Adidas on the front, along with the company logo. The logo is also on the back. Although it is very rare today, this T-shirt was a hit in the 1980s and still holds a high ranking among the most expensive T-shirts.

#4 Most Expensive T-Shirt in the World: John Lennon's "Home" T-Shirt – $16,400

most expensive shirts in the world This T-shirt was the face of the famous Home restaurant and its owner, John Lennon. He wore it everywhere he went, and its simple yet elegant design quickly made it as popular as he and his restaurant. The T-shirt was designed as a gift for John Lennon when he was naming and launching his restaurant. It's no coincidence that it features the name of his restaurant on the front; it also features an arm with a clenched fist in the center of the O. The rest of the shirt is all black. John Lennon wore this shirt during most of his shows. The purpose? Obviously, to promote his restaurant. At a certain point , Lennon fans fell in love with the T-shirt and even tried to buy one. In fact, the advertising for the shirt was so widespread that its price reached $16,400. The price, however, didn't deter many fans from purchasing one; plus, it's both beautiful and comfortable, being made of pure cotton.

#3 Most Expensive T-Shirt in the World: Hanes/UNICEF 1996 Olympics T-Shirt – $42,000

There's much more to the price of this T-shirt than just its appearance and material quality. It's actually well worth the high price tag: this 1996 Olympics T-shirt was made by UNICEF to raise funds for underprivileged children around the world. Capitalizing on the popularity of the Olympics, UNICEF decided to design a plain T-shirt with no artwork. The goal was to raise awareness about the plight of underprivileged children in developing countries and raise funds to reduce poverty. The T-shirt helped spread the message, and the response was astonishing: UNICEF raised at least $1 million per day for several days of the 1996 Olympics. There was no set price for this T-shirt; it was sold at auction. However, the highest bid (which came in on the final day of the auction) was astonishing, as the buyer offered a price of $42,000.

#2 Most Expensive T-Shirt in the World: UNICEF Cargo Flight – $300,000

The second of the five most expensive t-shirts in the world is another UNICEF product. This line is newer than the 1996 Olympics t-shirts, and anyone can get one for as little as $18. However, there's no price cap, and one buyer has shelled out a whopping $300,000 for one. The UNICEF Cargo Flight t-shirt features a simple yet high-value design on the front. The graphic features a cargo plane dropping crates full of supplies, intended to symbolize UNICEF's mission and the purpose of the t-shirt. Additionally, the design is green to support a greener, better world. Knowing you've contributed to a brighter future for our planet makes this a piece to wear with pride.

#1 Most Expensive T-Shirt in the World: Superlative Luxury – $400,000

The award for the world's most expensive T-shirt goes to the Superlative Luxury model, a shirt that has yet to find an owner (could it be because of its price?). The shirt owes much of its cost to the luxury brand that produced it (Superlative), but it actually has some features that make the $400,000 almost justified. For starters, it's made using pure green energy: the manufacturing process uses solar energy and does not emit CO2. Therefore, it was designed with an environmentalist or, at least, pollution-free target in mind… But it's unclear whether the proceeds from its sale are intended to make the world a better place, as is the case with UNICEF T-shirts. The Superlative Luxury has an eye-catching design. For starters, it features a circular motif symbolizing a shining sun. The circular motif is complemented by 16 certified diamonds , which help justify this shirt's exorbitant price. Well, we don't think you'll want to buy it or even replicate it… But you can create a fantastic custom t-shirt at burger-print.nl ! What are you waiting for? Get started now!
