11 Random Objects That Turned Their Owners Into Millionaires

10. Rhinoceros Horn Cups

Found: Collected from various antiques stores Value: $1,000,000 - $1,500,000 This set of Chinese rhinoceros horn cups was featured in one of the more memorable episodes of Antiues Roadshow in 2012. The five pieces had been collected over the course of a few decades by a budding collector, who had no idea of their true value. In total, it had costed just $5,000 to purchase the various pieces from antiques stores in the US and England. A visibly excited appraiser was happy to announce that the set had an auction value of between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000.
