The most expensive antique ever sold is believed to be the Pinner Qing Dynasty Vase, which was sold for a jaw-dropping $80.2 million at an auction in 2010. This rare 18th-century Chinese vase was found in the attic of a French family who had no idea of its value. The vase was adorned with detailed Buddhist and Taoist symbols and had an interesting back story, which added to its value. The buyer of the vase remains anonymous.
