The Most Expensive Beanie Babies in the World

Which are the most expensive beanie babies in the world?

Beanie babies! Yup, we’re talking about beanie babies. 

Now, they might not be everyone’s cup of tea, however, there’s no denying they were a massive thing back in the late ’90s and early 2000s.

And now, some of the rarest ones are worth an absolute fortune!

Take a look at our list of the 20 most expensive beanie babies in the world.
 

The 20 Most Expensive Beanie Babies In the World

The list of beanie babies and figures mentioned below have been compiled from various sources around the web, such as Money Inc, Mental Floss & The Richest

These are the 20 most expensive beanie babies in the world:
 

20. Humphrey the Camel – $1,200

Most Expensive Beanie Babies - Humphrey The Camel

Created in 1993, Humphrey the Camel is one of the 9 original beanie babies.

Since his debut, there have been many iterations of Humphrey, some more popular than others.

Generally, the price ranges greatly, and the rarest will sell for anywhere between $500 – $1,200. 

Humphrey was discontinued in 1998, so if you do have one laying around, then dust him off and get him online, as he’s worth a good amount of money!

 

19. Employee the Bear – $3,000

Most Expensive Beanie Babies - Employee the Bear

Ty, Inc introduced Employee in 1995, Employee the Bear was given to the companies sales representatives as a token gesture. 

There were only 300 bears produced and roughly half the bears wear a green ribbon and the other half wear red. 

It’s distinctive bright violet colour and magenta threading give this bear a unique and desirable quality. 

All the bear’s tags are sown in and it does not have any hanging tush tags at all. 

 

18. Nana the Monkey – $4,000

Most Expensive Beanie Babies - Nana The Monkey

Next up we have Nana the Monkey.

This beanie baby was released in 1995 and soon went into retirement, which was due to a name change and re-release to – “Bongo the Monkey”.

The original version can be identified by seeing if “Nana” is printed on the tush tag and it won’t come with a poem. 

So, use this as a reference and see what one you have!

 

17. Peace the Bear – $5,000

Most Expensive Beanie Babies - Peace the Bear

Peace the Bear was introduced in 1997 and was taken off the market just three years later. 

It was handed out as a promotion during a baseball game between the Oakland A’s/Boston Red Sox.

You can tell which bears are original as no two tie-dye colours are exactly the same and they usually come with a peace symbol embroidered on their chest. 

However, if you manage to find one without a peace symbol on the chest, then grab it, as it’s extremely rare!! 

 

16. Snort the Red Bull – $6,500

Most Expensive Beanie Babies - Snort the Red Bull

In 1997 Ty was facing a copyright infringement lawsuit on one of the popular beanie babies – Tabasco. 

So, they decided to change its name to “Snort the Red Bull” to avoid any penalties. 

It looks pretty much identical to the original Tabasco version and its worth just as much. 

You can find one of these for sale on most online auction houses for around the above-mentioned price, although you could get lucky and find an even better deal!

 

15. Gobbles the Turkey – $6,750

Most Expensive Beanie Babies - Gobbles the Turkey

Like a fair few beanie babies that were made in 1997, Gobbles the turkey comes in a few different variations.

He either came with a double or single-layer felt waddle, and his tail feathers were attached at various heights.

This is one of those beanie babies that could be worth a fortune or could be worth the regular price.

It all really depends on which one you have. If you have one with the proper placement and tag errors, you’re on to a winner! 

 

14. Peanut the Elephant – $7,000

Most Expensive Beanie Babies - Peanut The Elephant

If you manage to get your hands on the right colour, this beanie baby could be worth as much as $7,000!

It was created in 1995 and is now considered to be one of the rarest beanie babies in the world.

Peanut was produced in dark royal blue, a light powder blue and purple and grey. 

Have one of the original dark blue versions, which was actually an accident in the dye, and you’re sitting pretty!

 

13. Halo the Bear – $7,500

Most Expensive Beanie Babies - Halo The Bear

The next most expensive beanie baby on our list is Halo the Bear.

Halo is one of the first special edition bears to be created by Ty. It is meant to symbolise a child’s guardian angel, with its gold wings and halo around its head.

If you can get one from 1998 with a white star printed on its fur or one with errors on the tush tags, then you could be laughing all the way to the bank.

Having said that, find yourself one with a Korean tush tag and noticeable variations in their eyes and nose, and you’re looking at even more dosh!

 

12. Mcdonald’s International Bears – $10,000

Most Expensive Beanie Babies - Mcdonald's International Bears

Mcdonald’s decided to get in on the action in the 1990s as they saw just how popular the little beanies were.

They began to make a scaled-down version to include in all their happy meals called ” Teenie Babies”. 

These aren’t worth anything today, however, the exclusive line of bears they created are. 

The McDonald’s-exclusive line of Teenie Beanie Babies is made up of four individual bears that represent four different countries —Britannia from Britain, Maple from Canada, Erin from Ireland, and Glory from the U.S. 

So, if you’ve got one of these lying around in its original packaging, then you’ll be happy to know it could be worth $10,000!

 

11. Patti the Platypus – $10,000

Most Expensive Beanie Babies - Patti the Platypus

Patti is one of the original beanie babies, and most collectors would love to have one if they don’t already. 

She’s not worth all that much in general, however, one particular colour variation, magenta, is considered to be really rare, therefore worth a lot more. 

The magenta colour is really what rockets the price up, so if you can find one of these you’ll be quids in for sure.

 

10. Iggy the Iguana – $15,000

Most Expensive Beanie Babies - Iggy the Iguana

Kicking off our top ten most expensive beanie babies, Iggy the Iguana has gone through a lot of different design variations over the years. 

For example, some Iggys have a tongue sticking out, some are rainbow in colour, others are dark blue and the tags are placed in different locations, like the spine, hand or foot.

These have become super popular with collectors because of all the different colours, styles and characteristics. 

If you manage to find one with missing print inside the tag, hold on to it as it’s worth a fortune!

 

9. Brownie the Bear – $20,000

Most Expensive Beanie Babies - Brownie the Bear

Next on the list is Brownie the bear.

Brownie is one of the original beanie babies and worth a ton! After it was retired and replaced with “Cubbie”, Brownie has gone on to become a collector’s item. 

It can be identified by its brown fur and tan snout, and also it shouldn’t have a poem inside its tag. 
Bears are the most popular beanie babies, but because Brownie is also featured in the first-ever collection, it’s deemed as being more valuable. 
Check your collection and see if you have an original!

 

8. Hippity, Hoppity and Floppity the Bunnies – $30,000

Most Expensive Beanie Babies - Hippity, Hoppity and Floppity the Bunnies

These cute little bunny beanies are rather appropriately named and come as a set unlike many on our list.

Being part of a set makes them pretty hard to come by and therefore increasing their value. 

If you can find one on its own, it still might be worth a decent amount, however, if you felt the need to have more than one bunny as a kid, then you’ve maxed out on this one!

 

7. Valentino the Bear – $42,300

Most Expensive Beanie Babies - Valentino the Bear

The next beanie bear on our list is Valentino the Bear. 

Probably the most elegant looking beanie bear of all time, Valentines colour and subtle embellishments make him extremely sort after. 

However, there was a certain batch of Valentino bears that had their names misspelt inside the tag, therefore they’re even more valuable. 

If you manage to find one, you could be looking at selling it for around $42,000! 

 

6. Lefty the Donkey and Righty the Elephant – $50,000

Most Expensive Beanie Babies - Lefty the Donkey and Righty the Elephant

Lefty the Donkey and Righty the Elephant are two beanie babies that are pretty sort after in the beanie baby world. 

But, it’s this particular pair that are of most interest due to the one of a kind signature from Hillary Clinton.  

In 2006, a technician and loving father managed to get the beanie babies signed by Hillary for his daughters. 

So, considering the valuation of Mrs Clinton’s signature, it’s no surprise that collectors would be willing to pay $50,000 for them!

 

5. Piccadilly Attic – $125,000 

Most Expensive Beanie Babies - Piccadilly Attic

Coming in at number five is what many kids might consider “scary”, a clown beanie bear. 

If you can get past the scariness about him, and focus on his other features, then Piccadilly Attic is a no brainer for any collector!

Clowns aren’t the most popular thing for kids, so maybe it wasn’t the best move by Ty to make him back in the day. 

However, some lucky owners will be glad they did as his value has rocketed in recent years!

 

4. Bubbles – $129,000

Most Expensive Beanie Babies - Bubbles

Bubbles was released in 1996 and proved to be super popular. 

It went on to have several different updates and modifications, but within these updates were a few different errors. 

For example, the third generation Bubbles has the wrong colour thread through its mouth and the fourth generation Bubbles has incorrect tush tags.

These errors have gone on to make Bubbles super valuable, as the ones with the errors on the tush tags made in 1996 are worth a bomb!

 

3. 15-inch Peace bear and 9-inch Peace, Ringo and Bones – $159,000

Most Expensive Beanie Babies - 15-inch Peace bear and 9-inch Peace, Ringo and Bones

Breaking into the top three most expensive beanie babies in the world is this gigantic 15-inch beanie Peace bear and 9-inch Peace. 

If you can manage to sell these together, which would be the most obvious option, you’re looking at a substantial amount of money. 

With their unique psychedelic colourings and both sporting the peace symbol, this pair would look great amongst a real collectors collection!

 

2. Princess the Bear – $500,000

Most Expensive Beanie Babies - Princess the Bear

One of the only beanies on our list to be associated with a tragic historic event, Princess the Bear was produced by Ty in memory of the late Princess Dianna. 

The bear’s purpose was to motivate the beanie community into contributing to the Princesses memorial fund.

It has a purple body and features a white rose on its chest.  

It’s extremely rare and therefore usually has an asking price of around $500,000. 

 

1. Large Wallace and his Squad – $600,000

Most Expensive Beanie Babies - Large Wallace and his Squad

Topping the list of the most expensive beanie babies in the world is Large Wallace and his Squad. 

Similar to the 15-inch and 9-inch peace bear, this duo packs one hell of a punch when it comes to its value. 

For $600,000 you’ll get a rare large-sized “Wallace” and two regular-sized Wallaces, Cashew and Huggy.

Apart from their exclusivity, there’s nothing else that really adds to their value. 

So, if you have a spare $600,000 and fancy buying yourself a collector’s item, then here’s a really good one for you!
 

Summary

We hope you enjoyed our list of the 20 most expensive beanie babies in the world. Who’d of thought these tiny stuffed animals could be worth so much money a decade down the line!

What’s more astonishing, is that they actually sell for these prices! How crazy is that!

The Most Expensive Countries to Live in

Which are the most expensive countries to live in worldwide? Hold tight, as you’re about to find out.

If you’ve dreamed about moving abroad and starting life afresh in a new country, then read through this list before you do, as you might be shocked to find out just how expensive some of these lesser-known countries are. 

We’ve put together this list based on accommodation and living expenses for a single person living in the capital city of each country, and according to population. 

Here’s a list of the 10 most expensive countries to live in worldwide…

 

The 10 Most Expensive Countries to Live in Worldwide

The list of countries and figures mentioned below have been compiled from various sources around the web, such as World Population Review & Nomad List.

These are the 10 most expensive countries to live in worldwide:

 

10. Barbados – $2,061

Most Expensive Countries - Barbados

Kicking off our list of the 10 most expensive countries to live in worldwide, is Barbados. 

Barbados is a sovereign island nation in the Lesser Antilles of the West Indies, which is the Caribbean region of North America. 

It covers approximately 349km² and is 23 kilometres wide and 34 kilometres long, with a total population of 285,719 people. 

Barbados is the fourth-most densely populated country in the Americas and, it’s capital city, Bridgetown, has approximately 110,000 people living in it. 

To rent a one-bedroom studio apartment in Bridgetown, you’re looking at spending around $500 a month, or $100 a night in an Airbnb. 

A basic meal out will cost you no less than $13. A beer is around $6.50 and coffee is approximately $5.00 depending on where you go. 

 

9. Japan – $2,612

Most Expensive Countries - Japan

The ninth most expensive country to live in worldwide is Japan. 

Japan is an archipelago island nation in South-East Asia, made up of 6,852 islands, with a current total population of 126.8 million people. 

Of the 6,582 islands, the four largest islands account for the majority of inhabitants, as roughly 97% Japans population live on the four islands. 

Japan has many major cities, like Osaka, Yokohoma, Nagoya and Sapporo, which are all populated by more than 2 million people. 

However, Tokyo, Japans Capital City and the largest city in Japan, has an approximate population of 37 million people. 

To rent a one-bedroom studio apartment in Tokyo, you’re looking at spending in the region of $1,370 a month, or $111 a night in an Airbnb. 

Eating out varies in price, but as an average for one person, you should be looking at spending around $15.00 for a basic meal and around $6.00 for a beer.

Coffee is also pretty reasonable, considering how expensive Tokyo is, at $2.81 a cup. 

 

8. Norway – $2,659

Most Expensive Countries - Norway

Located in Northern Europe, Norway is a Scandinavian country with a total population of 5.3 million people. 

Norway shares its borders with Sweden, Russia and Finland, and has a total landmass of 385,203 km².

It’s only the 171st most densely populated country on earth, with roughly 14 people for every square kilometre. 

Rent is expensive in Norway’s capital, so renting a one-bedroom studio apartment in Oslo, will set you back around $1,193 a month, or $85 a night in an Airbnb. 

You won’t have much change left from $15 when buying a meal out, and a beer will set you back around $9.11.

 

7. The Bahamas – $2,704

Most Expensive Countries - The Bahamas

The next most expensive country in the world to live in is The Bahamas. 

Made up of over 700 islands, the Bahamas has an approximate population of 389,482 million people living across its 13,943km² landmass. 

The largest city in the Bahamas is Nassau, with a total population of 255,000. 

If you’re thinking about visiting the Bahamas, then you should budget approximately $950 a month for a one-bedroom studio apartment in the city, or $149 a night for an Airbnb. 

You’ll need to take at least $50-$100 with you when you go out for a meal and some drinks, as a basic meal costs around $15-$20 and a beer will cost you around $2.50. 

Coffee is a little on the expensive side, at around $5 each. 

 

6. Luxembourg – $2,751

Most Expensive Countries - Luxembourg

One of the smallest countries on our list, Luxembourg, is also one of the smallest sovereign nations on the planet, and it won’t leave you with a lot of wiggle room when it comes to your monthly expenses. 

Luxembourg is a landlocked country, located in western Europe, and has an estimated population of 620,319 people. 

Its population is small compared to other countries on the list, however, it has roughly 207 people per square kilometre, making it the 67th most densely populated country on earth. 

When you arrive in Luxembourg City, you can expect to pay around $1,322 per month for a one-bedroom studio apartment, or $80 a night in an Airbnb. 

Luxembourg seems like it’s slightly more expensive than the Bahamas when it comes to luxuries like beer and coffee, as one beer will cost you around $9 and coffee will set you back $6. 

Eating a basic meal out will cost between $17-$25 for one person depending on what you order. 

 

5. Iceland – $2,802

Most Expensive Countries - Iceland

Coming in at number five on our list of the most expensive countries in the world is Iceland. 

Iceland is located between the North and Atlantic Oceans and has a total surface area of 103,001 square kilometres. 

However, Iceland’s population of 339,949 people, remains relatively low in comparison to others on our list as its harsh geographical landscape proves difficult to live in for many, at times. 

As a result, Iceland has the lowest population density of any European country, at just 3 people per kilometre. 

Staying in Iceland will cost you approximately $1,236 a month for a one-bedroom studio apartment in the capital city of Reykjavik, or $128 a night in an Airbnb.  

Whilst you’re there, eating out will cost you around $12 for a basic meal, $8 for a beer and $2.15 for a cup of coffee. 

 

4. Denmark – $3,312

Most Expensive Countries - Denmark

The southernmost Nordic country in Northern Europe, Denmark, is the fourth most expensive country to live in worldwide. 

Denmark, bordered by Germany, Sweden and Norway has a total current population of 5.7 million people. 

The Scandinavian countries capital city is Copenhagen, which has an urban population of 1.2 million people, and a metropolitan population of 1.99 million.  

Known as one of the happiest places to live on earth, Copenhagen is also a very expensive city to live in.

For a one-bedroom studio apartment, you’re looking at $1,917 a month, or $96 a night in an Airbnb. 

Eating out will cost you approximately $18 per person and beers and coffee are anyway between $5.50-$6.50 a pop!

 

3. Switzerland – $3,162

Most Expensive Countries - Switzerland

Switzerland is the third most expensive country to live in worldwide. 

With more than 8.6 million people living across, 41,285 square kilometres, Switzerland is the 95th most populated country in the world, and the 135th largest country in terms of the total landmass. 

Switzerland has a number of beautiful cities to live in, like it’s capital, Bern, and it’s the largest city, Zurich. 

Bern has approximately 133,000 people living there and accommodation for a month in Bern, for one person, will cost in the region of $1,366, or $86 a night in an Airbnb. 

A meal out will cost you approximately $15-$20, with an additional beer costing around $6.00 and coffee costing around $5.00 a cup. 

 

2. Cayman Islands – $3,387

Most Expensive Countries - Cayman Islands

The Cayman Islands is the second most populated British overseas territory in the world, just behind Bermuda.

It is located in the western end of the Caribbean sea and has a total current population of approximately 63,000 people. 

It’s made up of a number of islands like Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac. 

The Cayman Islands are well known for housing offshore companies, and it’s believed that there are over 100,000 companies registered in the Cayman Islands. 

If you’re considering doing business in George Town, the capital city of the Cayman Islands, then a one-bedroom studio apartment will cost you around $1,924 a month or $83 a night in an Airbnb. 

Food and drink on the island are where you might spend a lot of your money.

A basic meal out will cost you at least $20-$30, with beer costing around $8.00 and coffee costing around $7 a cup. 

 

1. Bermuda – $5,011 

Most Expensive Countries - Bermuda

At over $5,000 a month for accommodation and living expenses, Bermuda is the most expensive place to live in worldwide.

Similar to the Cayman Islands, Bermuda is another British territory located in the North Atlantic. 

Bermuda has a total population of approximately 65,000 people living across a total landmass of 20.5 square miles. 

Its capital city, Hamilton, is also Bermudas only incorporated city and has a current population of just over 1,000 people. 

When looking for accommodation in the city, you’re going to need some deep pockets, as a one-bedroom studio apartment will cost you around $2,675 a month, or $212 a night in an Airbnb. 

If you’re a drinker, then get prepared to spend some cash, as one glass of beer will cost you a minimum of $10, and dinner will be around $20-$30 per person. 

Bermuda is the most expensive country to live in worldwide.

10. Melania Trump – Million 

Breaking into the top ten is Melania Trump’s $3 million 25-carat emerald-cut diamond engagement ring.

9. Jennifer Lopez – $4.5 Million

When Marc Anthony proposed to Jennifer Lopez in 2004, he sure did it with some style!

The singer, songwriter and actress received a rare blue 8.5-carat diamond ring from Marc, which was valued at approximately $4.5 million!

8. Grace Kelly – $4.6 Million

Back in 1995, Prince Rainier III of Monaco proposed to Grace Kelley with a mahoosive 10.47 emerald-cut diamond ring, by Cartier.

Next up we have Paris Hilton‘s engagement ring giving to her by her ex-finance, Paris Latsis. 

The $4.7 million 24-carat canary diamond ring ended up being auctioned off to help provide aid for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, as the couple decided to call off the wedding. 

At least some good came out of it. $4.7 million bucks can go a long way in times of need. 

 

6. Beyonce – $5 Million

Jay-Z proposed to Beyonce with an 18-carat emerald-cut flawless centre diamond, which is set on a split shank band.

The platinum band contains micro-pavé diamonds and was designed by Lorraine Schwartz. Since it’s creation, it’s also inspired a number of other celebrity engagement rings, some of which are featured on our list!

Overall, the ring is subtle, classy and striking all at the same time.

Former professional tennis player, Anna Kournikova received beautiful champagne and cognac 11-carat pear-shaped diamond, classicly mounted with diamond accents from her now-husband, Enrique Iglesias. 

It’s certainly difficult to miss, and I’m sure it helps start a lot of conversations, as it’s striking, to say the least. 

If you’re thinking of designing something for your partner, then perhaps using this one as your inspiration, might not be a bad idea, as it’s in the top five most expensive engagement rings in the world.

However, don’t forget the price, it’s $5.4 million!

Elizabeth’s ring held the title for the largest and most expensive celebrity engagement ring of all time for several decades.

In second place, we have this stunning example of a truly unique engagement ring by Bvlgari. 

The 5.4 blue carat diamond ring was purchased by Graff diamonds and once held the title of the worlds most expensive engagement ring.
