The Guinness World Record for the most expensive meal ever eaten was set in 2014, when a wealthy businessman from China paid a whopping $2.1 million for a meal at a restaurant in New York City.

The restaurant, called Old Homestead Steakhouse, served the businessman and his guests a 12-course meal that included Kobe beef, Alaskan king crab, and a rare bottle of 1982 Petrus wine. The meal was prepared by a team of renowned chefs, and was served on gold plates with diamond-encrusted cutlery.

The meal was organized by the Mysterious Mr. Long, a food promoter who is known for his extravagant culinary events. The $2.1 million price tag also included entertainment by a private violinist and a stay in a luxury hotel suite.

Since then, there have been other expensive meals that have made headlines, but none have topped the record set by the businessman from China at Old Homestead Steakhouse.
