Are you willing to spend as much as the following sports? Check out the top 10 most expensive sports in the world in 2022.

10. Pentathlon

The pentathlon consists of five sports. These sports include running, pistol shooting, fencing, swimming, and jumping. This means that you will need to hire a coach for all of these sports. In addition, you will also need all the necessary equipment for playing sports. Jumping is by far the most expensive of the five. First of all, you will need a horse, and we know that it is not cheap. Also, buying fencing equipment and purchasing a piston is not cheap, as is their maintenance. If you have money and want to play sports, this might be the sport you are looking for. At least you will learn a lot.

9. Wingsuit

Wingsuit seems to be a very interesting sport. I bet it's not that interesting when you realize you're looking at the ground from a very high position. For this sport, you will need special overalls called wingsuits. Wings will increase the surface area of ​​the human body, giving it more lift. Buying a wingsuit will set you back about $2,500. It's an affordable price, isn't it? Putting that aside, you might wonder what exactly makes this sport so expensive. The answer is to take to the air and return to the ground again. You will need skydiving lessons, renting an aircraft and a pilot, and paying for insurance. All these factors make this sport very expensive.

8. Bobsleigh

This sport is another expensive sport that you may not think about until the money you are about to spend is divided up for you. First of all, you will need bobsleds, which cost around $25,000. Training in this sport is also very expensive, and there are few coaches in the world. Building a bobsled is out of the question unless you are willing to spend millions of dollars. This sport is played by eight people because it is a team sport with four people on each team. This means everything will typically cost four times as much.

7. Balloon racing

It is a fun and fun sport. I can't wrap my head around balloon racing. However, it happens; this is a real sport. As a fun activity, you can spend around $300 or more. In sports you will spend much more. Buying a balloon for one person will cost approximately 20,000 9000 dollars. It can cost around $350 to inflate, a safety check can cost up to $3,000, and training for a pilot's license will cost you a maximum of $XNUMX. You will also need a team to look after you. Other navigation devices are needed, and when you add up all these expenses, you will realize that expenses are no joke.

6. Ski jumping

I know that most people were into ski jumping and didn't care about any costs other than the cost of buying the skis. Well, that's not all there is to know about ski jumping, especially if you want to do it professionally and compete against other jumpers at the international level. In addition to ski equipment, you'll also need to hire a coach, access to ski jumps, and more. These expenses will ensure that you spend at least $100,000 on this sport in just one year. See, I told you there's more to it than just jumping. You should also be aware that getting insurance for this sport can take a toll on your finances. So the best way to do this is to find sponsors.

5. Equestrian sport

If you can do steeplechase, steeplechase, horse riding or driving, then this is the sport for you. The difference is that this time you will be doing these actions with the horse. This sport is for the rich in society. Buying a horse, keeping it and training it is not so easy. Additionally, to showcase your talented and skilled horse on the international circuit, you can spend up to $200,000. If it's too expensive for you, then just leave it.

4. Polo

This is a sport for the rich. You need an elite horse for this sport, and they don't come cheap. You will also need to pay for training, maintenance, and travel. Note that you will need about four horses because one horse will be too tired to finish the game. Also, remember that horses need to be cared for and trained. This could cost you up to $2,500. Playing in a tournament can cost you anywhere from $3,500 to $150,000, and playing in a tournament can cost up to a million dollars. There is also a medical care aspect because polo is associated with a lot of serious injuries. Now you know why it's expensive.

3. sailing

I think it might be a sport for me. I like the idea of ​​swimming. But even so, the price I have to pay may be too high and not what I expected. For this sport you will need a boat. It's no secret that owning a boat is more expensive than owning certain brands of cars, right? Also, do not forget about the cost of maintenance and a lot of other necessary equipment. This means that your pockets need to be deeper in order to be able to compete in this sport. There is also a maintenance part. Since the sport will take months to be done, the boat may need to be stored on dry land. How confident are you that it will be in perfect working order for the next competition?

Formula 2

For this sport you will need your own car, even if you rent one it will still cost you a lot of money. You should also be prepared to spend a lot of money on hospital bills because you may be making frequent hospital visits with serious injuries. To get here, you need to start racing at a younger age. Sponsors may be required to enter Formula 1 because simply entering the competition can cost up to $190,000. You will also spend a lot on tires because they cost much more than regular cars. All these expenses put together will ensure that your dreams come true if you are not made of sterner stuff.

1. Withianga Sports Festival

This is a sport like no other. It is by far the most expensive sport in the entire world. This sporting event is held in New Zealand every year, and the essence of the sport is focused on speed, without which it will not be interesting. The sporting event will include helicopter races, races between helicopters and rally cars, high seas powerboat races, jet ski races and even skydiving. It just shows you that this sport is for millionaires and billionaires. Having all or even half of them is quite expensive. What about their service? You will spend millions every year.

Some might say that it's not about the money, but the activity itself. Well, I say it's in both. And if this sport is going to cost me a helicopter, a racing car, a boat, four horses, and more, I think I'll settle for it, as long as it doesn't pay all the expenses for the first experience.
