The most expensive substance on Earth isn’t gold, diamonds, or some billionaire-backed cryptocurrency; it’s something far stranger.
Just one gram of it could buy every superyacht, mansion, and private island on the planet, with plenty left over to fund your own rocket company.
It sounds like something out of a science fiction novel, but this eye-watering price tag is very real (in a way). The catch?
You’d have a hard time ever getting your hands on it… and for good reason.

If you’ve a ton of money, you can splurge on the usual suspects, like diamonds, gold, and fancy lab-grown crystals.
You can also pick up a luxury $440 million penthouse in Monaco, or a couple of private jets worth hundreds of millions of dollars each.
But all of these pale in comparison to this particular showstopper.
How expensive are we talking?
About $62 trillion per gram. Yes, with a ‘T’.
That’s more than the combined GDP of most continents.
If you’re still having a hard time wrapping your mind around this absurd figure, here’s an example for you.
The $400 million Boeing 747 private jet gifted to the US by the Qatari Royal family recently made headlines.
For one gram of this elusive substance, you can buy 155,000 similar jets.
So, what exactly is this mysterious substance that makes Fort Knox look like a piggy bank?
The answer is antimatter: the stuff of science fiction lore, particle physics, and Dan Brown novels.
Essentially, the most expensive substance on Earth is like the evil twin of regular matter.
For every particle you know and love (like electrons and protons), there’s an antimatter counterpart with the opposite charge.
When the two meet, they annihilate each other in a burst of energy that would make a supernova look like a small spark.
The catch? It’s incredibly hard to produce and even harder to store.
Scientists can create antimatter in particle accelerators like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, but only in minuscule amounts.
It also takes mind-boggling amounts of energy and time.
To date, only a few nanograms have ever been made, and none have been kept around long enough to book a financial advisor.
So why bother? Well, antimatter has the potential to revolutionize energy production and even power spacecraft.
Theoretically, one gram could produce as much energy as a nuclear bomb, without the radioactive aftermath.
But until we master containment and cost, it remains more sci-fi dream than practical power source.
Still, if you ever find a speck of the most expensive substance ever lying around, congratulations; you’re now richer than Elon Musk.
Just don’t drop it, unless you want the whole world to explode.
