There are many things that made this t-shirt very expensive aside from its design and the quality of the material. In fact, the price of the t-shirt became so high as people knew that the money will go towards a good cause.

The Olympics 1996 t-shirt was made by UNICEF to collect funds to help poor children all over the world. Taking the opportunity of the popularity of the Olympics people worldwide, UNICEF decided to create a simple t-shirt to increase awareness of the fate of poor children in third-world countries.

At the same time, it was also to collect as much money to reduce their burden in life. Despite the t-shirt being simple, it has definitely helped spread the message and the response was huge in that UNICEF managed to collect at least $1 million each day for several days during the Olympics Sport 1996.

There was no fixed price for the shirt as it was sold in an auction. But the highest bid in the auction was quite shocking when someone offered to buy the shirt for $42,000 making it the third most expensive t-shirt in the world.

2. UNICEF Cargo Flight ($300,000)

Another t-shirt made by UNICEF will be the Cargo Flight and it is more recent than the Olympics t-shirt 1996. But anyone can get this t-shirt at the price of $18 to $100. Different than the previous t-shirt which was sold in an auction, this one, in particular, lets the buyer choose how much they are willing to pay for it.

The highest price for this t-shirt stands at a staggering $300,000. Unlike the plain-designed t-shirt of the Olympics, the UNICEF Cargo Flight features a relevant and simple airplane at the front.

It shows an airplane dropping boxes full of supplies and it represents the purpose of group missions to help those in need. The color is also green to show support for a greener world and the rest is white in color.
