Rich people and their interests with unique antics! Dana White was making a whole antique room with a sword collection, he wanted to buy a samurai’s katana from the 1600s. The owner didn’t want to sell due to its sheer value.

Rick, from Pawn Stars, had gotten his hands on a katana that was appraised to be at least between $35,000-$40,000. He had sent it to Japan to have it polished and appraised. After knowing the value of it, he decided he didn’t want to sell it – EVER.
