Beanie Babies are another type of collectible that, despite being cheap when they were released, have greatly increased in value over time. While not all Beanie Babies will make you rich, some have been resold for half a million. An example is “Princess Bear”.

The Princess Bear teddy bear was launched in 1997 as a tribute to the late Princess Diana. The sale of the limited edition doll raised funds for the Diana memorial. The bear was created after the 1990s Beanie Babies craze began to die down, but the Princess Bear was so rare that one example was sold on eBay for US$500,000.
