IMI Combat Guard

If you like ATVs and UTVs, the IMI Combat Guard will be right up your alley. This $3 million off-road vehicle has the guts to justify the price. Off-road, the IMI can reach speeds of up to 70 mph (120 km/h), according to its Israeli manufacturer. The military ATV can also drive through 1.5-meter-deep water obstacles, travel on 35 percent side slopes, and climb a 70 % gradient. Furthermore, because the wheels are mounted outside the body, the IMI has 90-degree departure and approach angles, allowing it to climb (almost) anything.

McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet – $57 million

The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet is a reconnaissance and air support aircraft with a top speed of 1190 mph (1900 km/h) and the ability to climb 50,000 feet in under a minute. Its most notable accomplishment was its participation in Operation Desert Storm, but it can also brag about defeating an alien spaceship in the film “Independence Day.” The F/A-18 Hornet is still used by many militaries worldwide, including Switzerland, Australia, and Canada. A single unit will set you back $57 million.
