#WORLDSMOSTEXPENSIVEPEARL The most expensive pearl ever sold at auction is a pearl and diamond pendant that belonged to Marie An-toinette, which fetched $36 million at Sotheby’s Geneva in 2018. This sale set a world record for a pearl at auction. The pendant was part of a larger collection of jewels from the Bourbon-Par-#ma family (realized $42.7 million). It was purchased by Austrian billionaire Heidi Goess-Horten, heiress to her late husband’s business. She died in 2022 at 81 years old. AP arc
