I think India holds the record (555) for most people having world records.
It is a big thing there, and many of the records are quite goofy.

What's the statistics if you normalize by population (# of world record holders divided by population size)?

I brought a 100 ounce silver bar to work to show it to people because I thought it was cool, but I sensed people thought I was trying to show off. I work with a bunch of poor trash PhD scientists and engineers, so I guess they probably hadn't seen 2000 dollars all in the same place ever before. So I stopped showing it to people. You need to be an upper class high status type like me in order to appreciate the beauty separately from the monetary value.
Maybe you can move on to Platinum
The warehouse retailer (COST) has started selling one-ounce platinum bars priced at $1,089.99 apiece, which is slightly higher than the metal's current value of roughly $1,000 per ounce on the commodity market. Costco's foray into selling gold bars started last year and has proven a huge success, with the company reporting that sales reached $100 million in 2023.

That silver bar is $3150 now. Doubled since I bought it. I'm thinking of cashing them in for a nice grand piano.

NASA's approach has been make it perfect the first time.
SpaceX's approach is make it fast, cheap and learn from mistakes.
