Most people would scoff at the idea of spending even $20 on dessert. But, the rules don't apply to the rich, and New York City has always been a city that caters to the ultra-wealthy. In 2017, Chef Raffaele Ronca, who then owned a restaurant called Rafele Ristorante, knew exactly what the rich wanted: a $5,000 cheesecake. Yes, really. Today, that would be the equivalent of over $6,000. The median rent in NYC is $3,300, which means that this extravagant treat cost the same as almost two months of rent in the city.
Yawn.
