The fierce battle escalated the bid to 4.8 crore, led by CSK. Soon after, Royal Challengers Bangalore entered the fray with a bid of Rs. 5.00 Cr, joining Chennai and Mumbai in the pursuit. Sunrisers also stepped up, placing a bid at Rs. 8.00 Cr, marking Cummins as the day's first millionaire. The bidding war intensified between SRH and RCB, with both pushing the bids to Rs. 12.00 Cr. As the bids surpassed the 15-crore mark, the competition heated up, prompting SRH to elevate their offer to 17 crore.

<keyword id="126991" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mercer">Mercer</keyword> just revealed its list of most expensive cities in the world for expatriates and it shed light on various aspects. As per the Mercer's 23rd annual Cost of Living Survey, Luanda, the capital of Angola, emerged as the <keyword id="2905848" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="costliest-city">costliest city</keyword>, followed by Hong Kong and Tokyo at the second and third places, respectively. The other seven cities in the list were Zurich, Singapore, Seoul, Geneva, Shanghai, New York City, and Bern. Speaking about India, Mumbai emerged as the most expensive city for expatriates in India. It ranked higher than Paris, Canberra, Seattle and Vienna. Meanwhile, New Delhi was placed at 99. Chennai (135), Bangalore (166) and Kolkata (184) were the other Indian cities on the list. Overall, Indian cities have moved up the global ranking substantially. Mumbai has moved 25 notches up from being at 82 in 2016 while New Delhi has improved to 99 in 2017 from 130 in 2016, Chennai (135 this year from 158 in 2016), Bengaluru (to 166 from 180) and Kolkata (to 184 from 194). The improvement of ranking of Indian cities was not just on account of internal factors, but also because some global cities fell in ranking following currency volatility, especially in Egypt, Turkey and the United Kingdom, Mercer said.

This is the highest price that a purple-pink diamond has ever been able to accrue. <div type="image" title="Screenshot (264)_edited" msid="79192408" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Russian pink diamond on auction at Sotheby&amp;#39;s&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The last pink diamond to hold the world record for the highest selling price was the CTF Star Pink. It was sold in Hong Kong for $71.2 million. Dubbed the ‘Spirit of the Rose’, the rare pink diamond is derived from the biggest raw stone ever found of that colour in Russia. Pink diamonds are going to be more scarce According to Repellin, the Spirit of the Rose was able to fetch such a high price not only because of how pretty it is, but also because the prices for pink gems are increasing by the day as they become rarer. In fact, pink diamonds are among the rarest but most in demand gems in the global market. And, the supply is only going to get more scarce. Just this month, the biggest pink diamond mine in the world, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/12443753-6610-46a1-b831-850fe26b72c1">Australia's Argyle deposit</a>, stopped production because it has exhausted the entire supply. The mine accounted for more than 90 percent of the global supply of pink diamonds. Among the 10 most expensive diamonds ever sold in the world, pink diamonds account for half the list. All five of them have been sold within the last 10 years, according to Sotheby’s. The stone itself is 14.83 carats. However, the original stone found in 2017 was a massive 27.85 carats. It was discovered by mining firm Alrosa in Russia’s Sakha republic in northeast Siberia.

The 50-acre property dates back to the 1890s, and is currently owned by timber magnate John Rudey.
The 12-bedroom home has 15,000 square feet of living space, 7,000 square feet of basement and attic space, and an 1,800-foot-long driveway. There's also a grass tennis court, innumerable gardens, apple orchard, greenhouses, 75-foot-long heated pool, and a carriage house.

New York University — our most expensive school at a whopping $61,977 per year — falls at number 61 on the Department of Education's highest tuition list.
We've compiled a list of the colleges that are charging the most for tuition, required fees, and room and board for the upcoming academic year. These numbers are solely what you would directly pay to the school, so you're still going to have to cover books, travel, and beer, as well as the more recent requirement of a health care plan.
