- Welcome to the world of luxury fruits, where the price tag can sometimes make your jaw drop. From the $8,400 Ruby Roman grapes to the infamous $45,000 Yubari melon, there are a variety of fruits that are considered the most expensive in the world. These fruits are often produced in limited quantities, and their high price is a result of their rarity, uniqueness, and exceptional quality. Here is the list of the world’s most expensive fruits.
Densuke watermelon
Further to the north in Japan and you can find the world’s priciest watermelon on Hokkaido Island, known as the Densuke watermelon.
The second-largest of Japan’s islands, Hokkaido is well known for its many national parks and photogenic snow monkeys bathing in hot springs.
One of the most expensive fruits in the world, the Densuke watermelon price comes in at an impressive $6,100 and is the kind of food you can expect to be eaten only by those who can afford to live in the most expensive houses.
Densuke watermelons also lack the spots and stripes typically found on regular watermelons, and their exclusivity is enhanced by their limited production of 10,000 each year.
In 2008, one watermelon sold for $6,100 at auction, making it one of the most expensive fruits in the world, highly prized for its limited availability and perfectly round shape.
As you’d expect with such expensive fruits, the Densuke watermelon comes packaged in a gorgeous display box lined with red velvet.
Ruby Roman Grapes
You can find the world’s most expensive grapes in Japan, too, with the Ruby Roman grapes, which have been grown in the Ishikawa Prefecture since 2008.
The Ruby Roman grapes price comes in at an astounding $8,400 per bunch, making them perhaps the most expensive fruits in the world in terms of cost per weight.
Grapes weighing over 30 grams, coming from a grape cluster that weighs 700 grams, are those selected for the premium class, and it’s this class that can fetch thousands of dollars.
Only six grapes managed to pass the stringent ping pong ball shape, weight, and sugar content test in 2021, making it one of the rarest, as well as the world’s most expensive fruits.

Bijin-Hime Strawberry
You would definitely be surprised to hear about a strawberry costing 50,000 yen or 375 dollar a single piece. But the strawberry named “”Bijin-hime made at Okuda Farm costs that much. The reason for the extremely high price is the size, sweetness, shine, fragrance, and color of each piece. Surprisingly, each piece weighs 100 grams, making it three times bigger than the typical 3L sized strawberry.
The sweet fragrance of this world’s most expensive fruit tickles your nose as you bring the fruit to your mouth. There is no doubt that it is true of the highest quality!
Square shape watermelon
If you thought $85 was a high price to pay for the Sembikiya queen strawberries, the price of the next entry in this guide to the most expensive fruits in the world will have your eyes watering.
At $800 each, square watermelons are among the priciest fruits you can buy in Japan, prized for their unique cubed-shaped appearance.
They get their shape by growing in a box, and since 2014 the square watermelon has been available to buy around the world, saving you the additional expense of a return flight to Japan.
Buddha Shaped pear
There are no prizes for guessing the appearance of the Buddha-shaped pears, the novelty-shaped fruit available in China.
Creation by Chinese farmer Gao Xinzhang, these Buddha-shaped pears are crafted by growing the fruit inside small, Buddha-shaped molds. Indeed, this is one of the top weirdest fruit in the world.
Legend has it that if you eat one of these Buddha-shaped pears you’ll become immortal, which isn’t a bad deal considering they’re only $9 each.
The molds used for the Buddha-shaped pears were made available by the Fruit Mold Company in China, which produces a wide variety of molds to create unusually shaped expensive fruits.
Yubari king melon
The Yubari king melon is the leader of the pack when it comes to the most expensive fruits in the world, and like the Densuke watermelon, this fruit also comes from Hokkaido island.
Yubari King Melons are perfectly round with a smooth rind, and the growers leave part of the stem attached to enhance the aesthetic appeal for their exclusive clients.
The average Yubari King Melon price is around $12,000 per melon, but in 2019 a pair was sold for $45,000 at auction, becoming the most expensive fruit in the world by a considerable margin.

Thank you for the update, Ultimate Fact..!! I wonder how much money the buyers make to buy such fruits. 😱 I know they're that expensive, because there are always the buyers who are willing to pay that much money to enjoy something that can be much cheaper. 🥶
So nice of you
We call the fruit with green skin and white pulp sour sop and it is cheap in my country
In fiji one Watermelon is around $6 FJD equivalent to $3 US...ain't that cheap
Wow, that's a great deal for a watermelon!
It is really depressing, what human's have done to God's gifts.
These days you have the choice between strawberries, which do taste like nothing, or strawberries which cost $1000 a piece.
However I am old enough to remember when strawberries were a lot smaller and actually tasted like strawberries... but then greed got the better of the growers and they decided that quantity was better for profits than quality... and here we are.
Besides the natural varieties of fruits are neither very sweet nor are they large. So I am not impressed by Japan's exuberance... it is not "quality" what motivates them, it is greed.
