Buyer name is Yingying Chung, Taiwanese, medias create the title name for her before name as Koi queen, which was the largest koi farm owner in Taiwan and primary agent for Japan. She won 11 grand prizes including 4 championships in Holland, which made her known as "Taiwan Koi Queen.
It was difficult to breed the top quality koi which they need to fulfil all the basic requirement for a koi including the selection of good bloodline, good water quality with the variety of minerals, environment conditions, continuous breed modification of koi and so on.
Crazy. I used to buy two year old koi at $200 per pop, imported to California from Japan when I had a pond. I knew that only half of them would survive due to immunity issues. The offspring of those surviving koi were strong as they were immune to local pathogens. And then I noticed that each koi had individual personalities that I learned to enjoy. After that I didn’t care what they looked like.
She wasn't just 'any' Koi...she was the Grand Champion in 2018 if I am not mistaken in her markings. People buy whatever they feel passionate about...value is subjective :) But she certainly is beautiful!
@@michaellagonera929 I am certainly no expert but she is I believe a 3 step Kohaku. I refer mostly to the S shape pattern that she has on her middle Beni section and by which I personally recognise her.
Its so subjective. I've seen others I think are prettier. This one doesn't look like anything special personally speaking, as I find the colours too blocky. Extraordinarily over-the-top price but probably seen as an investment. Also notice how the photos appear to misrepresent it's hue, showing a deeper red than seen in the live videos. People are extremely compliant to becoming slaves in allowing themselves (in this case) to be dictated by show standards which in turn influences others, instead of using critical thinking.
Why do westerners criticize those asians buying this lovely piece of nature when they buy multimillion dollar paints thats not even as attractive as the koi
@Sadboiclique Multimillion dollar paint? Where? I have never heard of paint costing any more the $100 and even that is expensive! I can understand buying a beautiful fish for $100 dollars but a million is just crazy, most of these fish look the same to me.
Hello David J, the owner, Sakai Fish Farm has had a few bids earlier this year about 1 million euro... he decided to put her on the Auction today with this crazy result 😜
Mad! Absolutely MAD! $2M+ for a Koi. This will never be my game. Beautiful yes, but $2M beautiful? It's all in the eye of the beholder. Of course, these are not merely for decoration, they are investments and most likely for resale. They most likely already have the buyer lined up.
Wow this is so amazing. That a koi could even sell for that price I still can’t understand it. A beautiful koi but the price was shocking.. Is it true that this koi only lived a few years after it was purchased???
Everyone is talking about the buyer...imagine being the dude/gal that actually successfully sold a fish for $1.7m. If I was the seller, I would buy a bunch of nice stuff and then reinvest and do it again, LOL
Amazing to watch this bidding. However many western koi keepers just are being outpriced by wealthy Asian businesses, and that’s a shame that loyal koi keepers just cannot afford highest quality koi. £1.3 million is just over the top. I saw this koi in the flesh at the 2017 AJKS when it won Grand Champion. 101cm is also not to be underestimated.....
Even though it was really big and nicely shaped, that fish wasn’t very nice looking. Maybe it was just the camera but the fish seemed more yellowy then milky white which is often a reason people buy. Not sure if it was worth almost 2 million dollars... (But I do think that it was good other than that and the red was quite vibrant)
It's been a year now since you've posted this comment, and not one person responded as of yet. I'm not really sure what thy put in the water, but it's possibly a disinfectant chemical.
also I love the intro at 3:19 the girl to the right went into the beat too early and then the guy comes in almost like a rapper and when he yells the last phrase the girl to the right of him starts laughing. She seems like she's having a great time ^^!!!!
Hello Claire, I am sorry for my late respons. The breeder puts some low dosis of anasthesia to let the Koi be more relax when showed to the costumers. So the koi is experience less stress during picking up or transport. It is only for a few moments and the koi is always awake. Best wishes Yvo
Obviously the purchaser has more money than what they can ever do with it all..How about a donation from the heart to feed starving and dying children or toys for terminally ill kids in hospitals?
Wow....buyer name is private right?. When did you stop your bidding?.
The lady at the end of the movie is the buyer, Probably for a cliënt ;)

@@lingaelvin8321 How difficult can it be for anyone to bred top quality koi if you the best koi as parents? :-)
but who is searching ricefields for colored common carp any more? ;-)
It was difficult to breed the top quality koi which they need to fulfil all the basic requirement for a koi including the selection of good bloodline, good water quality with the variety of minerals, environment conditions, continuous breed modification of koi and so on.
INSANE!!! That amount of money can buy 2 dozen very nice koi and a nice sized pond and a house and 4 cars and some nice clothes and watches
Yup :P
And also become a gold digger with lavish lifestyle
Poor mindset
Wth...that $1.7mils can disappear if that Koi stops breathing...that's crazy !!!
poor bastard

I’m telling ya one of my kin koi fish be flipping in the pond like she be playing.
such a delicate way of handling the koi....love it
Thank you for leaving a comment
Bidder: "one million seven hundred thousand u.s dollar"
Koi : "fool!"
What about the dumbass that spins $1000000 on a bottle of champagne
She wasn't just 'any' Koi...she was the Grand Champion in 2018 if I am not mistaken in her markings. People buy whatever they feel passionate about...value is subjective :) But she certainly is beautiful!

Sadboi clique paint last forever. This koi died soon after it was bought.
Nothing lasts forever

Wow this is so amazing. That a koi could even sell for that price I still can’t understand it. A beautiful koi but the price was shocking..
Is it true that this koi only lived a few years after it was purchased???
It's the culture there is something special they have for this kind of fish. believe the luck that fish will bring.
Nice, thank you. 😎✌✌✌
Guys whom are interested in Koi should read about this bidders history. Very touching to give up everything for family koi business.
Stunning koi and all that jazz, but what I giggled at was all phones up all over the place! ;-D EVERYONE has to film it. "I was THERE!" effect. ;-D
This koi is really beautiful thats the reason why its expensive Edit If any profesinal fish keeper will get one fish it has to be that koi.
Wow, stunning koi that’s mental money 💴. 😉🧡🇬🇧
Ikan koi memang luar biasa😍cantik
I am a fish lover but I'd rather buy the world's most expensive car number plate "F1" and invest in that.
Faizal Khan hahahahaha!
She bought it to make more money
I have the plate F1 in hk
Just saw the real at Sakai Farm, very very nice koi. Love it!!
Thank you Koi Lover
Wow just speechless, wonder if that fish now has life insurance ha. Thanks 4sharing👍
Hello, Yes Probably She will have a kind of insurance
Koi kohaku jumbo tsbt memang keren bgt polanya bisa dikatakan smpurna nyaris simetris..soal harga. Koi yg wah itu itulah misteri dibalik keindahannya..

台灣錦鯉女王鐘瑩瑩女士揚名國際👍👍👍
Thank you!
Very beautiful Koi. 😍
What they pouring / dropping in the bowl in the beginning with KOHAKU ?
How is the koi now any recent videos ❤️
Everyone is talking about the buyer...imagine being the dude/gal that actually successfully sold a fish for $1.7m. If I was the seller, I would buy a bunch of nice stuff and then reinvest and do it again, LOL
these people seems like printing their own money....
Pakde Jono hahahhahaha
Hanging with them long enough and they might be giving yourself some advice
Jesus, being rich must be really easy
Starting with you then who ever next and so on
I'd like to watch them bid each other at an auction for a mansion.
Haha, like the program on Discovery Channel :P Love them too
2:34
what did they add to the water?
Very sad that this fish died... It looked so friendly and comfortable around people.

Geoff Winn Thanks for reaching out, it is a great Koi So asian hobbyists are putting the hobby to a Next level
gotta pay to play
Koi:look how expensive I am
A mansion:am I joke to u?
That price you can buy a "MC.LAREN P1.gtr"
Yup 🙈
Could you!?....not quite!.
MCLAREN? How boring... I would take the Koi
For me, better a big pond and a pair of very rare koi, but for one koi only, nope
That's what I call Pride...just didn't want to no one else to have it!
What solution are they pouring in the blue basin?
If you work hard and you have the money why not to own something special is always nice a beautiful koi fish 👌👌👌
beautiful koi fish
What if it dies the next day?
Mark Kalendr than you own a expensive dead Koi 🙈
Most expensive fish fry I guess
Bye bye mwaaahhh
He will get a burial service worth of soil and pot
Cry
I cant believe it....wowwwww....👍👍👍
こういうのが本当の金持ちっていうんだろうな。
それにしても、鯉1匹約2億円！頭がクラクラするぜ！
でも、こういう人がいるから経済が回っているんだよね。
Chinese buys the world most expensive dog. Japanese buys the world most expensive fish. Westerners.... it will die. Its just a waste of money.
Would have loved some backstory to this for someone who has no idea. Why is this fish special, obviously there was hype around it.
you can watch the documentary about this koi farm SAKAI!
Woow we have that kind of fish in our pond
hyper anywhere cool! 🔥
can u vid it?
That must have been soo stressful for that koi 😩‼️
Yup that koi died at 2 years .later
Nah they've been handled like that their whole life it's a regular routine for them
What is the white powder that put inside?
beautiful looking koi
To the ultra rich billionaire, $1,700,000,- USD is like $10 USD to a man in the street.. so spending "$10 USD" is really nothing to the billionaire.
No I know... 2 different worlds in the end
1.7 million is only 10 USA dollars
Lmao, Originally I thought he was rapping in Japanese cause of the music playing. Smh.
Is the koi still alive?
It died
@TheKoiPartner really? How long did it live before she died,any offsprings?
Probably the Koi swolled billions of rare gems...
I'll just stick with my Arowanas
Wow awesome.
Very good
🤔....I guess...this is the last fish in the world
No... Theres a lot of small fish like that. 😐
Great country, great people and great fish!
Just imagine if 1 of the worker f... Up... How the owner react
It is and stays an animal...
They have insurance policies on these animals...

Hello Lee, it is the stress and probably the filter of the camera ;) Thanks for reaching out anyways! Appreciate it

Hello Brayden, well, blodline, size, skinquality, pattern etc.
Wow looks so amazing. Koi

A Million $$$$$ Fish! Who was the buyer? I would love to see the fries of this Koi.
What they put in the water before they took the fish out?
It's been a year now since you've posted this comment, and not one person responded as of yet.
I'm not really sure what thy put in the water, but it's possibly a disinfectant chemical.
@@MrSerrano88 probably... 🙂
Wow. Amazing...
1:02 is that vodka or sake ?
Cyril Gomez sakeeeee

Please tell me the size, weight and age of this amazing koi. Thanks
thanh le quoc see video description ;)
The Woman Won WOW She Wanted That KOI That BAD lol 😂
Haha Yeah but in the end it was for her cliënt ;)
Maybe the owner will chop it up to feed the starving folks in this world we all live in.
Welcome the KING ✌✌✌✌🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amazing
Better deal than Paul Newman's old Rolex.
George Cookie Hahah for sure
I love koi but you can't tell me this fish is worth that much amount of money.
izin share video nya ya 🙏
The koi knows it's a celebrity or what? Was so calm and was willing to get in the bucket lol
Ikan Koi bisa hidup hingga 230 tahun dan tumbuh hingga 1,3 meter berat mencapai 45 kg
Cool

¿Que le pondran al agua?
Wow fantastik
¥ 203,000,000 Yen = $ 1,782,541.06 USDollars
Yes! So including all the extra cost I think these Koi will cost the owner above 1.800.000,- USD
She's Taiwanese and Queen of Kois. Wonder how is the koi now? How's the offspring ?
Mantap... 👍
Yeah 1.7ml is loose change if you’re a billionaire. I would too buy the koi and invite friends over for sushi
1.7mil dollar sushi to show off.
If I was gonna pay 1.7 mil for a fish, it'd better walk, talk and cook.
lol
What was the liquid in the white plastic bottle they put into the bowl with the koi?
Claire Cooper it’s a chlorine removal liquid

WOW INCREDIBLE
Is it priced that much cause of its size? Cause i used to have a koi that's gold colored and was nowhere near to this ones price
Mybe best colour koi fish that in avent Japan koi day. 💟
Crazy!!! But Congratulations to her!
Obviously the purchaser has more money than what they can ever do with it all..How about a donation from the heart to feed starving and dying children or toys for terminally ill kids in hospitals?
Amazing fish
winner can make profit by breeding it, because this koi will give champion gene birth.
Panas Buachum you get it 😉
