![This week’s weirdest ways to spend money](https://20627419.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/20627419/hubfs/The%20Hustle/Assets/Images/319512158-Spunky-Brief_2019-11-01T014511.682Z-1.webp?width=595&height=400&name=319512158-Spunky-Brief_2019-11-01T014511.682Z-1.webp)

- Macallan Fine and Rare 60-Year-Old 1926, $1.9m: A rare bottle of this hoity-toity hooch recently sold for $1.9m, outpouring previous records to become the most expensive spirit ever sold at auction.
- Kurt Cobain’s dirty cardigan, $334k: A cigarette-burned sweater worn by the Nirvana frontman during his MTV “Unplugged” performance went for top dollar in a recent sale.
- A law degree that doesn’t let you practice law, $35.6k: Some online schools offer an Executive Juris Doctor (EJD) degree. But, as BuzzFeed reports, recipients can’t become attorneys. The only thing worse than student loans? Student loans for fake degrees.
- Christie’s “Princie” diamond, $39.3m: A massive, 34.65 carat pink diamond called “the Princie” recently sold for $39.3m to a member of the Qatari royal family — despite ongoing controversy about whether the diamond was stolen.
