A restaurant in New York City is charging $1000 for a pizza. This pizza has various types of expensive caviars, lobster, and crème fresh. Each slice of pizza is worth about $125 according to the article. The owner of the restaurant states that this pizza is expensive but some people are able to afford it.
The most shocking thing about this article is, in my opinion, the frivolousness of the pizza. There are so many people who would love to be able to eat a $1 slice of pizza let alone eat at all. If a person has the money to buy a one thousand dollar pizza why not buy a regular slice of pizza and give the money to those less fortunate. The act of buying something so frivolous seems as if it is a way to show the world their status and snobbery. They just want to prove to people that they are capable of purchasing such an expensive and extravagant food that nobody else could afford. The people that the restaurant owner says can afford these luxuries should still not indulge in those luxuries. This relates to everything that the rich and privileged deem worthy to throw their money into. Someone like Donald Trump will put millions of dollars into doing something like gold-plating a toilet bowl when he could donate that money to a charity or help people build homes. I find the pointlessness of spending this money idiotic.
The sheer stupidity of somebody spending that much money on a slice of pizza is also shocking. At the end it is still just a piece of pizza that you can purchase everywhere else for a few dollars. People should not waste their money on luxuries that are truly pointless. The people who are able to purchase this pizza are obviously wealthy individuals. I would honestly like to know how a person is able to stay wealthy while they are spending money on $1000 pizza. As the old saying states, "a fool and his money are soon parted."
Meet the $1000 pizza… :
