Most expensive bottle of water sold at auction
A new Guinness World Record was set for the most expensive bottle of water sold at auction in Dubai, UAE by Evian mineral water in partnership with the French designer Christian Lacroix.
The bottle is an Evian natural mineral water bottle and it was designed by the talented French designer Christian Lacroix resembling the queen of ice.
The auction took place in the Al Falak ballroom of the Burj Al Arab and the bottle was purchased by Shazzie Hoss. The bottle was sold for US$23000 (£15,401) which washed away the previous Guinness World Record for the most expensive bottle of water which was US$9712 (£6,469).
The auction was attended by Talal Omar, an adjudicator from Guinness World Records, who confirmed the world record at the event.
“My daughter is a big fan of the Guinness World Records book, and we have always wanted to have a copy of the book where either one of us is a record holder” Shazzie Hoss told Talal Omar after breaking the record.
The money raised in this auction will be going to the Dubai Autism Center.
