When you’re hungry, a simple $10 dinner or even a $1 bag of chips may do. But when the very rich are hungry, sometimes a handful of Doritos and plain old spaghetti just won’t cut it. So they go for an entirely different foodie experience -- one that adds quite a few extra zeros to the meal price tag.

From curry to burgers, frittata to ice cream, here are five meals people eat when money is no object.

1. The $1,000 Pizza

At Nino’s Bellissima in New York City, you could throw a party for 10 of your friends for $1,000 -- or you could buy one single pie. The restaurant offers a pizza covered in six kinds of caviar, lobster, crème fraiche and chives for $1,000. Considering a slice on the street in the Big Apple costs just $2 and a whole pie often costs less than $15, this is one big splurge. Then again, street slices don’t have caviar and lobster on them.
