In Japan, Kiyoshi Kimura, president of Sushi-Zanmai, a Japanese sushi chain, bought a 593-pound bluefin tuna.

And it cost him $736,000!!!!

It broke the record for most expensive fish ever sold, with the previous record only being $416,000.

Bluefin tuna are government controlled when it comes to how many can be caught each year and this one was particularly huge so that's why the price was so high.

On his reason for spending so much for a single fish, Kimura said:

What a steal!

Royal newlyweds, Prince William and his Duchess Kate who are making their big North American trip next month, will attend the July 9 Foundation Polo Challenge at the Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club in California.

It's the one event on their U.S. tour that's open to the public.

That's right! And for the low low price of only $4,000 a person you can brush elbows with the VIPs seated in the royal couple's section!

Of course,

Starbucks has stopped buying coffee.

WTF!

Actually, there’s a reasonable explanation. Coffee prices are sky-rocketing, and Starbucks is waiting for them to go down.

Said John Culver, president of Starbucks:

"We think that these prices are not based on facts given there is no supply problem. Speculators are at work here. We do believe, however, that prices are going to fall again. For this year, we have suspended our coffee buys for the moment but we watch the market closely."

They better go down! People need their coffee!

Well, times are certainly tough!

Bill Cosby is set to perform his latest show, Bill Cosby, An Evening of Comedy, at the Sound Board in Detroit's MotorCity Casino/Hotel, but apparently, isn't pushing enough tickets for the event, because they're now being sold 2 for 1 via Ticketmaster - and they're all already going for under $45!

Ouch! Not gonna lie, that's pretty rough!

Best of luck selling those tickets!

Well, this brings puppy love to a whole new level.

An 11-month-old red Tibetan mastiff has become the world's most expensive dog in history!

The pooch named Big Splash, or "Hong Dong" in Chinese, was purchased in China for 10 million yuan (just over $1.5 million) Tuesday.

This particular Tibetan mastiff puppy is considered "a perfect specimen," so the buyer could recoup his investment in the dog in just a few years by hiring it out to other breeders for as much as 100,000 yuan each.

China's new "One Dog Per Household" law has already caused thousands of Chinese dogs to lose their homes and lives.

We know you can't put a price on the love of a pet, BUT paying this much for a dog, in a country overflowing with dogs in need?

CRAZY AS HELL!
