MIYAZAKI, JAPAN - Yeah, with mo money there’s mo problems but, conversely, with mo money there’s mo mangos. I’m just saying. The Kyodo News reported that a pair of premium mangos sold for the record-breaking price of 500,000 yen ($4,488) in a local Miyazaki market. Whoever walked away toting those pricey produce items in their bag is the M to the A to the N-G-O queen, and I love that for them!

The mangos were of the “Taiyo no Tamago” or “Egg of the Sun” variety, meaning they weighed at least 350 grams each, possessed a high sugar content, and showcased the iconic bright red hue of their brethren, according to the news source.

The premium produce was scooped up by an undisclosed local produce wholesale company at a Fukuoka department store’s first auction of the season. Of course this means that this particular bunch of mangos will be joining a some of produce’s hall of famers, including $1,000 durian, $27,000 melons, and a few of its Australian kin that sold for $22,000 back in 2016.

Now, I know Ariana is coming off of the high of a stellar Coachella debut, but I’d bet even mo money than what those mangos went for that the “undisclosed local wholesale company” was actually the pop princess in disguise, given that she loves mangos. Like really loves them.
