Top 10 Richest Sports in the World

We love to play, and that is why there are many sports with millions of participants and fans. Since millions of people are actively or passively involved, the richest sports have TV revenues, sponsorship, merchandise sales, and other types of income being generated regularly. Some of the richest sports thus generate not millions of billions of dollars each year. The money mostly comes from TV revenues, match day attendance, merchandise sales, etc.

Here, I have made a list of the top ten richest sports in the world with a little bit of description. I have mostly focused on the money aspect.

American Football

American Football is mostly popular in the USA and Canada, but it has a huge market in the USA because of its massive popularity. The National Football League is the richest in professional sports in the world. As far as average attendance is concerned, the National Football League (NFL) has the highest average attendance per match with an average attendance of 67,000. Dallas Cowboy has an average attendance of 93,00 and it is the highest for any club or team in any sport in the world. This is way more than any team in the English Premier League (EPL).

Football is more than a sport in the USA. Rather, it is a part of popular culture. Monday Night Football is one of the most popular TV programs, and the Super Bowl is the most popular or most watched TV Program in the country. In terms of TV revenue, the NFL is miles ahead of any league in the world with an average of $10 billion per year.

The best part of the NFL is that its income from TV revenue is equally distributed among the 32 participating teams. So, all the participating teams have solid financial conditions.

Baseball

If you live in South Asia, then you might get the feeling that baseball is a variant of cricket. Well, it is not true since baseball has many distinctive elements lacking or totally absent in cricket. Unlike American football, it has become successful in being a very popular sport outside of America and Canada. Baseball is very popular in some countries of the Caribbean Islands as well as in Cuba, Japan, and South Korea. 

Major League Baseball is the most popular league in the world. It is a physically demanding league, with each team having to play 162 games in a regular season (within just 26 weeks). As there are so many matches, average attendance is much smaller than the NFL. Its TV revenue is massive.

TV revenue of MLB is huge, and it is increasing all the time. Read this:  MLB Revenues Hit Record $12.1 Billion In 2024.

About MLB attendance, I am quoting from their website:

The 2024 Major League Baseball season recorded increases in attendance, viewership, streaming, and fan engagement in its second season of new rules, which have shortened games, removed dead time, helped showcase the athleticism of the players, and created more action on the bases. The average time of game in 2024 was 2:36, the crispest average in 40 years (1984, 2:35). Stolen bases also increased to 3,617, the most in 109 years (1915) and the third most in any Major League season since 1900, behind 1914 (4,574) and 1915 (4,108).

Basketball

Basketball is popular in many countries in the world, but the money is mostly confined to the USA. The NBA or National Basketball Association is the professional league in America comprising 30 teams. Out of 30, one is from Canada and the rest are from the USA.

A team here plays 82 matches during a regular season-41 home and 41 away matches. Average attendance per match is around 19,000. The ticket price is somewhere between US$20 and US$ 1000 in regular matches. The NBA is popular not only in the USA and Canada but also in some other countries like Brazil, China, Spain, and several other countries. China is a big market for the NBA, and there is a lot of room for growth.

 In fact, outside of America, in terms of TV audience, the NBA is ahead of the other major US sports leagues, and this surely helps the NBA earn a lot of money from outside of the US. Thus, the TV revenue of the NBA is going to increase a lot in the next few years. Read: NBA nears rights deal worth $76 billion with NBC, ESPN, and Amazon. Well, this huge amount of money is going to come not in one year but in the next 11 years. Yet, it is a huge deal and will make NBA teams richer.

 

Ice Hockey

Ice Hockey is popular in some countries like Russia, Finland, etc, but the money is mostly found in the USA and Canada. The National Hockey League (NHL) is one of the four major leagues in the USA and Canada. Ice Hockey is very popular all over Canada. As for the USA, it is mostly popular in the northern part of the country, where there is a lot of snowfall.

Of the four major leagues in America, Ice hockey has the least amount of revenue compared to the NHL, MLB, and NBA. The main reason for that is that it is not equally popular in every part of the USA. It is mostly popular with the White population in the USA. As a result, it is not earning that much in terms of TV revenue. Only 19% of total revenue is from TV rights.

However, when it comes to ticket sales NHL is doing great. Nearly 44% of its revenue comes from match-day ticket sales. That figure is massive compared to the NFL’s 17% of overall revenue from ticket sales. It is not that more people join NFL matches compared to the NFL or MLB, but the ticket price is high compared to any other sports in the US. NFL fans are among the highest earners in the USA and Canada, and are highly educated too.

 

Wrestling

Some of the readers may raise their eyebrows at seeing wrestling here because professional wrestling, like WWE, is not exactly a competitive sport but a form of entertainment where almost everything is staged. It is a multi-billion-dollar industry in which WWE is leading the pack with US$1.39 billion in 2024. Its major rival, AEW, had revenue of just $168 million in 2024. However,  it has got a better TV deal for the coming years.

When it comes to average attendance, WWE is far ahead of AEW and TNA, and other wrestling promotions. WWE has a huge fan base in India. Pro-wrestling is also popular in Japan. However, the main market is North America.

Football

Some games are there whose popularity never changes. Football is such a game. Even in 2025, because of people’s busy lives, whether online, through streaming, by watching highlights, or sitting directly in the stadium, people don’t want to miss out on the excitement of football.

Around any popular sport now, millions and billions of dollars are added to a country's revenue. The average value of the world’s most valuable football teams is now 2.3 billion dollars. So, when it comes to football, everyone keeps their eyes on which team is ahead in every aspect. Among the top 30 teams in the world, Real Madrid is in the first position. For 3 years in a row, Real Madrid has held its position, and its current market value is 6.6 billion US dollars. The team has contributed 873 million US dollars to Spain's revenue.

Till now, Real Madrid has won 14 international titles. Among these, 6 Champions Leagues, 4 European Super Leagues, and 4 World Cups. You or I cannot just go and buy Real Madrid’s shares. Because the team’s ownership has already fulfilled its fixed number of members.

The team in the second position in football is Manchester United. The value of this team is 6.55 billion dollars, from which England earns 785 million dollars in revenue. Because of the fast-paced action and simplicity, football is so popular. Sitting at home, at the same time or later by tuning in, many people around the world watch this game, and just like the audience’s emotions are connected with it, in the same way, different brands, broadcasters, and advertisers also have to keep their connection with this game.

 

Cricket

The intense excitement of cricket depends on the perfect or imperfect coordination between bat and ball, as well as on the wicketkeeper and the fielders. Like other sports, the world of cricket also has an international cricket board (ICC), but each country has its own separate cricket board. Among them, the richest cricket board in the world is the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

 Under the Indian Cricket Board is the world's most expensive team, named the Indian Premier League (IPL), which is worth more than 10 billion dollars. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is worth 2.2 billion US dollars. This amount of revenue coming only from cricket has turned the country into a rich one in the cricketing world. The world's richest cricket player, Sachin Tendulkar, was a proud player of this team.

 In the world of sports, the best achievement of the world’s richest BCCI so far is being champions twice in the World Cup (1983, 2011), twice in the T20 World Cup (2007, 2024), and champions three times in the Champions Trophy (2002, 2013, 2025). You’ll be surprised to know that only for IPL, during the 2023–2027 season, their broadcasting share went up for auction at 6.2 billion dollars.

In the world, cricket is the most popular sport in South Asia, England, Australia, and South Africa. However, its popularity is now spreading to other countries too. The second richest cricket board in the cricketing world is CA (Australia), which generates revenue of 79 million US dollars. The team plays a strong role nationally and internationally through their matches and broadcasts. Cricket lovers become fans of everything involved in this sport for a long time. As a result, the role of cricket can be seen in their everyday life.

Tennis

Tennis is one of the most popular games in the world. For the same reason, tennis is also positioned among the richest sports. In tennis, sometimes one plays alone and sometimes in a team of two, and the winner is announced accordingly. Though it is not as expensive a game as football or cricket, or basketball, many people are surprised when they come to know about the wealth and lifestyle of rich tennis players.

But there is nothing to be surprised about. Behind tennis being on the list of rich sports, besides the match tickets of the tennis ground, the contracts that happen between the players and the renowned brands have made it even richer.

So, till March 2025, Novak Djokovic is at the top of the career-based list of rich tennis players. He won the most prizes in tennis. His total career earnings are about 187 million US dollars. In the same way, in second and third position in the game career are Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, who won around 135 and 130 million US dollars in prize money respectively by playing tennis. On the other hand, in women’s tennis tournaments, Margaret Court held the record for winning the most tournaments, which was the same for both women and men. Later, in 2023, Novak Djokovic broke that record and equaled it।

 

Boxing

When we think of boxing, it feels like two hands with gloves, a ring all around, two boxers, and one referee. This very exciting game’s income depends mostly on pay-per-view. Besides that, high-profile elite-class boxers spend millions on their training centers, nutrition, coaching, and sparring partners. Additionally, the directors and promoters who manage the boxing games also earn a big part of the income from this sport. Because organizing and preparing for a high-profile fight in boxing costs more than a million dollars.

All together, boxing has made its own proud position among the richest sports in the world. In 2025, the world’s richest boxer is Floyd Mayweather, who holds an undefeated record of 50 fights. He is at the top for the most profitable pay-per-view. This 48-year-old boxer’s total career income is 1.2 billion US dollars. From the side of the rich boxers, we see George Foreman in the second position.

Golf

Golf is perhaps the most expensive sport in the world. Everything related to playing golf is expensive and takes a lot of money. For example, membership in a golf course or a club is very expensive anywhere in the world. Its equipment is also very expensive, and playing needs a good amount of money.

Golf is indeed a sport for rich people only, so naturally, the TV audience mainly consists of them. There are around 70 million golf players around the world. The major source of income is TV revenue, which is more than one billion dollars.

Golf is extremely popular in the USA, with millions of people either actively participating in this sport or following it closely. Top corporate companies are eager to sponsor different tournaments, and the ticket price is also highly expensive. That makes some of the top golf players very rich, and you cannot imagine how rich they are.

There are nearly 40,000 golf courses around the world, and 40% (around 15,000) of them are located in the United States of America. In recent years, the Saudi Arabian royal family has been investing heavily in golf, and as a result, it is becoming popular in the oil-rich Middle East countries.

Conclusion

This post will surely attract some visitors and some controversies about the definition of the richest sports. Some fans will love to argue about their favorite sports being absent from this list. Well, you have got all the opportunity to present your idea in the comment section. You are welcome to write detailed comments about your favorite sports or about why this article is not accurate enough or good enough.

Top Ten Expensive Food Items

Food is no longer just a necessity for us; it is intertwined with our history, culture, luxury, and indulgence. Today, I am going to write about the most expensive foods in the world. The reason why these foods are among the most expensive depends on several factors. Some foods are rare in production, some stand out due to their unique characteristics, some are costly because of specialized production methods, and others are associated with luxury and indulgence.

We love to learn about history, embrace our own and other cultures, and explore through travel and migration. These aspects play a significant role in the uniqueness and high cost of certain foods. In ancient times, when civilization had not yet developed, securing food was solely a matter of survival. However, today, food has evolved into a massive industry. Numerous industries have emerged centered around food, such as the homemade food industry, the tourism industry, and the rising popularity of food blogging.

 

With the widespread use of social media, people have become accustomed to fine dining and luxurious culinary experiences. Would you like to be a part of this experience of tasting extravagant food items? Let’s take a closer look at the world’s ten most expensive foods and understand why they come with such a high price tag.

Saffron

Saffron is one of the most luxurious food items in the world. It is primarily used as a spice. Saffron is obtained by collecting and drying the stigmas of the Crocus sativus flower. Each Crocus sativus flower contains only three stigmas. The high labor cost required to collect these stigmas and their low weight make saffron one of the most expensive foods in the world.

To obtain one kilogram of saffron stigmas, around 440,000 stigmas need to be handpicked, and laborers spend approximately 40 hours collecting them. Iran is the world's largest producer of saffron, followed by Afghanistan, Spain, Greece, India, and Morocco.

Saffron is graded based on its quality, and it is widely used for its fragrance, taste, and color. As of March 30, 2025, the market price of saffron ranges from $2,900 to $3,000 per kilogram. However, in the United States, the retail price varies between $1,175.88 and $2,429.50 per kilogram.

An important factor that adds to saffron's value is that the Crocus sativus plant cannot reproduce naturally without human intervention, making it even more precious.

White Truffles

White truffles are underground fungi and one of the most expensive foods in the world. This is because white truffles are rare and can only be harvested within a very short period under specific temperature conditions. They grow naturally in the wild and must be collected using trained dogs in forests. Finding white truffles is challenging, and great care must be taken while extracting them from the soil. Due to their rarity, limited availability, and high labor costs, white truffles are considered a luxurious delicacy.

White truffles have a distinct and intense aroma, often described as earthy and garlicky. They are commonly grated over dishes such as pasta, soups, scrambled eggs, risotto, and steak to enhance the flavor and fragrance of the food.

The price of white truffles varies depending on factors such as freshness, size, and the region where they are harvested. The cost of white truffles ranges between €2,100 and €3,500 per kilogram, with larger truffles being more expensive. The best-quality white truffles are found in Italy, Croatia, France, Syria, Slovenia, and Thailand. They typically grow in association with host trees such as oak, poplar, beech, and hazel.

The unique harvesting process and the rich aroma of white truffles have always fascinated me.

Almas Caviar

I first heard the name caviar when I was in Class XI/XII because our textbook contained an interesting story about it called The Luncheon. Now, I am going to write about this famous, luxurious, and rare delicacy. Although there are several types of caviar in the world, the most expensive one is Almas Caviar, which is collected only from a specific region of the southern Caspian Sea. It comes from the eggs or roe of the extremely rare female albino sturgeon, which must be between 60 to 100 years old.

 

Surprisingly, Almas Caviar is so valuable in Iran that the government makes significant investments in its production, further increasing its worth. Another reason behind its high price is that Iranians have always kept their caviar collection process a secret and have never disclosed their expertise or trade secrets to anyone. They take great pride in this. The low salt content, lack of a raw fishy smell, and its creamy, silky texture make this caviar distinct and highly luxurious.

 

I can never imagine eating raw fish eggs. However, the fresher the Almas Caviar and the sooner it is consumed after collection, the more expensive it becomes. Iranians handle the collection process with extreme skill and secrecy because improper handling can cause the roe to lose its original taste.

 

The rarity of Almas Caviar, the long wait for authentic caviar collection, the specialized hands required for processing, and its unique taste make it one of the most expensive and prestigious foods in the world. The global caviar market is expected to grow from $2.83 billion in 2024 to $3.13 billion in 2025. However, the most expensive Iranian Almas Caviar is sold for $34,500 per kilogram.

 

What is even more surprising is that one may have to wait several years to taste this rare delicacy. This is because not all Iranians get to enjoy it. In fact, a significant portion of Iran’s Almas Caviar is exported, making it one of the country’s major sources of revenue.

Kobe Beef

Many of us know that Japan’s famous Kobe beef has secured its place among the world’s most luxurious foods due to its unique characteristics. However, many people confuse Kobe beef with Wagyu beef. While all Kobe beef falls under Wagyu beef, not all Wagyu beef qualifies as Kobe beef. To be recognized as Kobe beef, it must meet specific criteria:

1. The cattle must be of the Tajima breed, born, raised, and fed in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.

2. Each cow must weigh 470 kg or less.

3. The cattle are fed only grass and high-quality grains.

4. The meat grading must be A4 or A5.

5. The most important characteristic is the high percentage of marbling.

These Tajima cattle are raised in Hyogo Prefecture under carefully controlled conditions to ensure they grow in a stress-free environment with ample space and a peaceful atmosphere. They are even massaged occasionally to ensure the even distribution of fat throughout their muscles. These processes contribute to the unique flavor and texture of Kobe beef.

The marbling in Kobe beef refers to the fine streaks of fat interspersed within the muscle fibers. This marbling melts at a low temperature, giving the meat its signature tenderness. When cooking Kobe beef, it is recommended to use minimal seasoning, such as black pepper, salt, or soy sauce, to preserve its natural flavor. Its softness and buttery melt-in-the-mouth texture make Kobe beef an irresistible delicacy.

Currently, the global market for Wagyu beef is experiencing rapid growth. In 2024, the market was valued at $2.53 billion, and it is expected to reach $2.72 billion by 2025. The rich history of Kobe beef, its specialized breeding process, stress-free upbringing, nutrient-rich diet, meticulous care, strict quality control, unique taste, and specific cooking methods have all contributed to making it one of the world’s most renowned and expensive foods.

Matsutake Mushrooms

How do you feel about eating mushrooms?

Among my many favorite foods, mushrooms hold a special place. While mushrooms used to be widely available, Japan’s Matsutake mushroom has now become one of the most expensive foods in the world due to its declining supply. Although originally from Japan, this species can also be found in China, Korea, and some regions of the United States. However, the most expensive Matsutake mushrooms grow exclusively beneath red pine trees in Japan. Collected during autumn, these mushrooms are prized for their meaty texture, intense aroma, earthy and pine-like fragrance, and unique spicy scent, making them a luxury ingredient. Unlike the highly prized white truffle, Matsutake mushrooms cannot be cultivated, and their supply is steadily decreasing due to insect infestations and other environmental threats.

These mushrooms are found hidden beneath dry leaves at the base of red pine trees in the forest. Once discovered, they can be lightly brushed clean and eaten raw. However, it is crucial to ensure that the mushroom is authentic Japanese Matsutake. Alternatively, they can be lightly steamed, added to soups, or sautéed with minimal seasoning to enhance their distinct flavor.

 

The unique fragrance, taste, scarcity, and specific growing conditions of Japanese Matsutake mushrooms set them apart from other mushrooms of the same species. In Japan, Matsutake mushrooms are often used as gifts to express gratitude or to make someone happy. Since Matsutake can only be harvested once a year during the autumn season, the total annual harvest in Japan is now less than 1,000 tons.

 

Japan produces several types of mushrooms, and in 2024, the Japanese mushroom market was valued at 4.246 billion USD. In the same year, an auction was held in Tambasasayama, Hyogo Prefecture, where a set of six Matsutake mushrooms, weighing a total of 193.5 grams, was sold for 960,000 yen (approximately 6,423.12 USD). Typically, Matsutake mushrooms are sold at around 150,000 yen per kilogram.

Since mushrooms are one of my favorite ingredients, if I ever get the chance to visit Japan during autumn, I would love to experience the unique taste of Matsutake mushroom soup at least once!

Bluefin Tuna

The Japanese are extremely conscious about their food choices. Their food culture is highly refined and enriched. Among all the varieties of seafood in the world, Bluefin tuna stands as the most expensive, royal, luxurious, and highly popular. Although there are several species of tuna, the Pacific Bluefin tuna is the most valuable. The primary reason behind this is the growing international popularity of Japanese cuisine, especially sushi and sashimi, both of which rely heavily on this prized fish.

The canned tuna found in different countries is not Bluefin tuna; rather, it comes from other tuna species. The rarity of Bluefin tuna makes it even more valuable. Additionally, this fish grows very slowly, and as it increases in size, its price rises accordingly. In 2019, a Bluefin tuna weighing 612 pounds (277 kg) set a record at a Tokyo fish market, selling for $3.1 million, which means the price per kilogram was $8,700. On January 5, 2025, another Bluefin tuna was sold in Tokyo for $1.31 million, highlighting just how special and sought-after this fish is among restaurant owners.

You might be even more surprised to learn that, just like premium meat cuts have distinct names and prices, Bluefin tuna is also categorized into different cuts with varying values and popularity. The most premium cut is "Toro", which refers to the fatty belly section located right behind the head. This part contains 30-40% fat, making it incredibly rich and desirable. The second most valuable cut is "Chutoro", followed by others, each with its own unique name, price, and culinary demand.

This highly prized Bluefin tuna is typically eaten raw or with minimal seasoning, primarily in sushi and sashimi. When describing its taste, calling it merely "delicious" would not do it justice. Its luxurious appeal comes from its delicate texture, perfect balance, juiciness, and buttery sweetness.

Would you like to make a luxurious Bluefin tuna sushi dish a part of your next fine dining experience?

 

Bird’s Nest Soup

Birds and their eggs are a common part of our food. But turning a bird’s nest into food seems like something only humans could do. Yes, that’s exactly what happens in China. In China, bird’s nest soup is an important part of their traditional cuisine. They have traditionally placed this bird’s nest soup on their luxury food list for thousands of years. And along with that, it has secured a place in the world’s top 10 most expensive foods.

This edible bird’s nest is made from the breeding season saliva of male swiftlet birds. Although soup made from swiftlet nests is considered an extremely expensive delicacy in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand are leading in exporting these birds’ nests. These swiftlet nests are usually collected twice a year at specific times. Following legal restrictions, only workers who have permission to collect these birds’ nests are allowed to do so.

Swiftlet nests come in white, red, or pink colors. Although red nests are sold at a higher price, there is no proven reason behind the claims associated with them. However, for the Chinese, this bird’s nest soup is considered very healthy, and they believe it helps with their skin and keeps them youthful. It contains carbohydrates, glycoproteins, calcium, and minerals. It plays an effective role in curing long-term cold-related illnesses.

Initially, the nests are hard. They need to be soaked in water for a long time until they soften, then steamed. The Chinese mix sugar to make it sweet and add various preferred ingredients to create a sticky, umami-flavored soup.

You may wonder why this bird’s nest is sold at such a high price or why it is so expensive.

1. First, it is a royal beverage ingredient for the Chinese, which was once only for the elite royal family.

2. Additionally, the process of collecting these nests is very difficult and labor-intensive, with a high cost of labor.

3. Making it edible requires a lot of time and caution.

That’s why it is so expensive and luxurious. Its price is truly surprising. The global market for this was $7.8 billion in 2024, and it is expected to grow to $16.16 billion by 2033. You may have to spend $100 for a single bowl of soup.

Would I be willing to spend $100 to taste this luxurious Chinese swiftlet bird’s nest soup?

Kopi Luwak Coffee

Among hot beverages, coffee is quite popular. However, Indonesia’s Kopi Luwak has gained worldwide popularity and secured a place among the most expensive foods. The main reason behind this is its processing method. Kopi Luwak is a type of coffee that is obtained through processing after being consumed and excreted by a creature called a civet in Indonesia. A question might arise—why is this coffee so expensive?

Primarily, the unique characteristics of this coffee make it so special. In Indonesia’s cherry forests, civets consume only the ripest and most mature coffee cherries. Inside their stomachs, the cherries undergo fermentation due to digestive enzymes. This process breaks down the proteins in the beans, removes bitterness, and results in a highly valuable and smooth-flavored coffee bean.

The workers who collect the beans consumed and excreted by civets usually gather them early in the morning. After collection, the beans are sun-dried, washed, roasted at 220 degrees Celsius, and then hulled to make them ready for consumption. This entire process is not automated. It is entirely labor-intensive and time-consuming.

That is why Kopi Luwak coffee is so expensive, and coffee lovers eagerly pay a high price for it. Authentic Kopi Luwak, which is naturally processed in the wild, costs between $600 to $1,300 per pound. A single cup of this coffee costs between $75 to $100. Who wouldn’t be tempted to enjoy such a luxurious cup of coffee on a chilly winter morning?

Manuka Honey

Honey is one of the natural sweeteners that fulfills our craving for sweetness. All types of honey are beneficial for health. However, the honey I’m going to talk about today is not only extremely beneficial for health, but also rare and very expensive. For this reason, it has earned a place in the list of the world’s luxurious foods. According to a report published in Chicago, the global market for Manuka honey is expected to reach 816.55 million USD by 2033.

 

Its name is Manuka honey. This honey is produced exclusively from the pollination of the Manuka flower by bees. The Manuka plant is extremely rare. It only grows in New Zealand and Australia. The Manuka flower blooms for only 2 to 6 weeks a year, and bees get just 12 days to collect nectar. Manuka honey is quite thick in consistency.

Why is Manuka honey so expensive? In answer to this question, it can be said that due to the geographical location and rarity of the Manuka plant, the very short period in which bees can collect the nectar, and the presence of leptosperin, methylglyoxal, and DHA in Manuka honey, the ingredients are used to treat various diseases. Not only that, the higher the UMF grading of Manuka honey, the higher its price. This shows how carefully the honey is collected, tested, and researched to ensure its purity before being marketed. That is why we have to spend 20 USD or more for just one 250-gram jar of Manuka honey.

Moose Milk Cheese

You cannot simply imagine how expensive Moose Milk Cheese is? It can go for $1000 US dollars for one kilogram! Why is it so expensive? It is simply because it is a very rare type of cheese and you cannot just produce it on a massive scale, no matter how profitable it is.

The production is so limited that, on average, every day, one kilogram is produced in Sweden. I tried to spend one hour searching for Moose Milk Cheese but found little information about it.

Even the Wikipedia entry did not provide sufficient information. So I hesitated to include Moose Milk Cheese in this post or in this list.

The Wikipedia entry states:

The Elk House (Älgens Hus) farm in Bjurholm, Sweden, run by Christer and Ulla Johansson, is one of the world's only producers of moose cheese. It has three milk-producing moose, whose milk yields roughly 300 kilograms of cheese per year; the cheese sells for about US$1,000 per kilogram (approximately US$455 per pound).

Three varieties of cheese are produced: a rind-style, a blue, and a feta-style.

The cheese is served at the Älgens Hus restaurant,[1] located in Sweden.

 

By now, we have understood that the reason behind the luxury status of a food item depends on several factors. Rarity, labor-intensive and costly production, a rich royal heritage, various health benefits—these specific reasons make such foods so expensive. We are beginning to believe that food is no longer just about satisfaction or hunger relief; it has now become a symbol of our sophistication, luxury, and prestige. I’m very curious to know—how passionate are you about food?

How to write a long blog post from short idea?

 

Yesterday was an amazing day as I could type 10,000 words or 50 blog posts. Yes, none of them were quality content but I was very happy because I could just simply do it. I always felt that writing even 5,000 words in a single day was an impossible thing to do but after writing 10,000 words I feel that I have overcome my mental barrier and it has changed me in a single day.

 

What I did?

I have been trying for the last few days to transform myself from a platform maker to a solo professional or I started trying for my personal success, personal benefit, etc. I also want to try for my personal interest. What I understand is that it is very easy for me to write 100 words at a time.

It is not a problem anymore and if I have to write 200 words post it is also not a problem but if I want to make a post larger than this then I struggle and I simply cannot do it. But today I want to write a long post and I have taken the decision that I will simply focus on writing 100 words at a time. That means I will write just one or two paragraphs at a time then take a break, again come back and write another 100 words.

 

I want to write longer posts

This way I will make a post at least 500 words long and maybe it will be like 700 to 800 words or sometimes it can be even 1,000 words. I started professional blogging 19 years ago in 2006 and during that time I learned that Google loves your original content. After 19 years it is the same idea.

 

Google likes your original content

Google likes your original content and it doesn't like a copy paste from other sources or even copying from artificial intelligence chatbots like ChatGPT. So I must focus on writing original content and I hope that I can do it. It's not a very difficult matter because when I'm writing 10,000 words without copying anything from any source I already have got the skill and also the habit.

 

Google likes long content

Now that is the main problem. Google likes long content. Google likes content over 1,000 words and I simply cannot write content over 1,000 words. What I can do is that I can now write content of 200 words. That is quite a big challenge for me but I have decided that I will keep on trying and reach to the level that I can easily write an article of 1,000 words in just two or three hours.

I have noticed that some of my blog posts in this blog or in another blog recently have been indexed by Google and they are bringing good results when searched. Well, I did not target any popular keyword. I just started writing normally but I am very happy with the results so far.

 

Record breaking Day

Yesterday was a record-breaking day. Yes, I am very happy that yesterday was a record-breaking day for me and I could never imagine that I would be able to type 10,000 words in a single day but I have done it and I am very happy for it. I don't know how I could do it but as I said, I just did it.

 

Will again Try Today

Now, I feel very confident that even if I try today, again, I will be able to do it but I am not interested. Instead, I want to write at a normal pace and maybe write 3,000 or 4,000 words. Now, I am thinking of new ideas and I am also thinking that every day for two hours, I will practice this way and I would not bother about anything else but just write some entries or blog posts.

 

Practice a lot

What I want to do today? Today, I want to practice writing and practice for 10 hours continuously writing and I know that I will be able to write many posts and thousands of words but I also want to spend some time on reading because if you want to write something, then you have to read. Yesterday, I decided that I will start reading about English literature again because this was my field and I want to be a good writer. If I want to be a good writer, then I have to improve the level of my writing.

 

English Literature Matters

The basic is that I have to read a lot from English literature because literature contains the best samples of that language. So, if I want to become better in English writing or writing in English language, then I should try to read its literature. Also, I am not a native speaker, so naturally, I will struggle no matter how many years I have studied English or I have written in English language.

The reality is that I will always struggle. So, I will take this idea seriously of studying about English literature. Every day, I can just read a few pages and try to reflect about it and try to look at the use of sentences or words, etc.

Writing a Long Post

Fortunately, I studied English literature in my bachelor degree in university and that is why I have some idea about analyzing a poem or a drama or a character or a novel setting, etc. In conclusion, I like to state that this is a part of practice and I am just trying to practice writing. This post has been most probably more than 1,000 words and I am very happy that it was much more than 200 words.

As I stated earlier that if I want to write now 200 words, I will not struggle at all. But when I want to write more than 200 words, then I will struggle. So, today what I am going to do is that I am going to try writing 300 words or 400 words long post.

I think I will not struggle if I start writing 300 words long posts and maybe I can try 400 words. This has given me a new idea. I will talk about it in the next post.

From Platform maker to Solo Professional: The Journey

 If you search with my name in Google and Facebook you will find me mostly as a platform maker but now, I have started my journey as a solo professional. The stark difference is shocking to me and I guess that if you were you in my shoe, you would have got shocked too.  I am going to describe about the transformational journey in this post.

You see in 2014, I became the founder president of e-Commerce Association of Bangladesh (e-CAB).  It was totally an offline type of organization but it needed support from online people for its existence. I noticed that most people who are interested about e-commerce were spending all of their time mostly in Facebook. So, we had a Facebook group for the association and I started spending many hours there every day. It became more than an addiction for me but my efforts brought very good results for the association.

After three years of trying, around 150 thousand people joined the group. The association become immensely popular and it was a massive hit. We were supposed to spread ecommerce business in Bangladesh and it happened within a very short time.

After that I was instrumental behind the rise of my own Facebook group called Search English. It has now more than 3.3 million members. I also witnessed similar success with two more Facebook groups and a limited success with another several Facebook groups.  Thus I became a successful platform maker in Facebook and Facebook itself officially recognized my efforts as a community leader in 2018 under the Facebook community leadership program (FCLP). I was included in a list of 115 community leaders from across the globe under this program.

For around one year, I wanted to Stop being a platform maker or a community leader. I wanted to become a solo professional or in other words, I want to work alone and become successful in whatever I do. At first, it became very difficult for me to think of trying for myself. It may sound very simple idea in which I will take care of myself and try for my success but in reality, I struggled a lot because I had lost the habit of taking care of myself for trying for myself for at least 10 years.

I have been struggling for the last few months for doing very simple task such as every day I should write 1000 words and then try to promote it and communicate with others in this field. It is not that I am a novice or a newbie since I have more than 25 years of experience in my professional life. I always wanted to be a writer and I enjoyed writing more than any other activity in life. Still, I could not write even just 200 words most of the days.

I really had to push myself a lot and after many days of trying, now, at last I have reached to the point that I can write one on 1000 words every day. As I have stated already that I want to become a solo professional and I want to totally try for my career now instead of leading thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people for a common goal or an impossible dream.

Now I want to work day and night to achieve success for myself. I realized that I lost the motivation to try for myself. If I had to again try for a community, then, I would be able to work day and night because I have got the scale experience and habit for that. Now , I almost have been become successful in transforming myself for my own success instead of dedicating my life for others.

At first, I felt that I was becoming a selfish person who cares only for himself and it was the major obstacle for my transformation. I had to convince myself about it for many days and in fact after trying for several months, Now, I feel fine with this idea of trying for myself.

You see the change in mindset was the biggest challenge because when I tried to do something I faced opposition from my own heart not from others. Most people do not bother about me. Instead, They are busy with their own life. So, After I convinced myself that I am not a selfish person- I could start writing and after trying for several weeks at last now I can type 1000 words.

I know my writing is not yet up to the mark and I am mostly writing about personal opinion. However I am very happy because I am trying for myself. I know that there are at least 10 million people who face the same problem like me. They dedicate many years of their lives for the society and then suffer a lot. They find it difficult to come back to their own career and try for their own success.

Now sometimes I feel that I should write up for them so that it can help them to deal with the adjusting reality. Someday, I really wish to do it and I want to speak to them. In this age thanks to YouTube, I don’t even need to be present in any event to talk to them As Youtube will help me to reach my voice to many of them who are struggling in life being a platform maker or a community leader.

I really feel very happy to be able to write this post because I could write really from my heart. I just wish that some people who are struggling like me I am going through this period of Transformation could write this post and get some mental strength. I will try to write such posts from now as it will help me to get mental strength and it will also support some people who are really in my shoes.
