Giant Truffle Auctioned for $330, 000

FLORENCE, Italy (AP) -- A Macau casino mogul bid a record $330,00 at auction Saturday to win a giant white truffle dug up in Tuscany, organizers said.

Billionaire Stanley Ho made the winning bid for the 3.3 pound truffle during an auction staged simultaneously in Florence, London and at Ho's Grand Lisboa hotel in Macau, said auction organizer Giselle Oberti.

The price bested the previous record for a truffle of $212,000, she said. More

A big enough truffle would keep the snow off your head, but would probably be quite bad at keeping the wind out and very rough on the heating bill... ;-)
