The teapot known as "The Egoist" holds the title of the world's most valuable teapot, a recognition it received in the Guinness World Records in 2016.

Nirmal Sethia, born in 1941 in Kolkata, has lived in London for the past 50 years but maintains a strong connection to his roots in India. He is known not only for his wealth but also for his charitable efforts across multiple countries, including India, the UK, Africa, and Russia.
Sethia actively engages in projects that focus on education, religion, and healthcare, demonstrating his commitment to giving back to society. His net worth is reported to be around £6.5 billion, equivalent to approximately ₹6,84,49 crores, making him one of the wealthiest individuals in Britain.
"This is the most valuable teapot in the world. Owned by the N Sethia Foundation in the UK, the teapot is made from 18-carat yellow gold with a diamond-studded body and a 6.67-carat ruby at its center. The handle is crafted from fossilized mammoth ivory," stated Guinness in a tweet.
