8 Incredible Things Sold for $1
2. Chelsea Football Club
Did you know that Chelsea FC is not just any football team? It’s a real football giant that has won so many cups in its history and stands on the same level as Manchester United and Liverpool. But back in 1982, they were in serious financial trouble, with debts of 1.5 million pounds. That’s when Ken Bates came in and bought the club for just one pound! Later, he turned it around and made it one of the best football teams in England. Of course, Bates had to pay off the club’s debts with his own money, but it all paid off in the end when he sold “Chelsea” to Roman Abramovich for 140 million pounds in 2003, making it the most expensive sale of a football club in the history of England.
3. Terminator script
You’ve probably heard of James Cameron and his billion-dollar movies like “Titanic” and “Avatar,” but did you know that more than 30 years ago, he was just a nobody with a script for the first Terminator movie that nobody wanted to work with? Eventually, Cameron said he’d sell the script for a dollar, but only if he could direct the movie and have creative control over it. The movie was a massive hit, making over $80 million at the box office with a budget of only $6.5 million.
