7. Cinderella's Castle, Disney World ($60+)
Cinderella's Royal Table breakfast, inside of Cinderella's Castle in Disney World, Florida is $60 for the price of one adult. But with package deals like "Her Royal Highness," which provides children with a tiara, balloon and princess cake, and "Glass Slipper Engagement," which gives partners the chance to propose with a customized glass slipper during a private meal, prices can be royally high.

6. Tangberrys Coffee House, Great Britain ($256)
Tangberrys Coffee House in western England is home to the 150 pound (that's 256 USD) Bacon Bling breakfast sandwich. The meal includes bacon from rare pig breeds, truffle, watercress, saffron and an egg all cooked in truffle oil, sprinkled with real gold dust and served between a bun. Tangberrys' owner, Paul Philips, told Daily Mail, "Each [sandwich] takes about 15 minutes to make and is expensive to make, but I'll keep doing it forever if it means raising money for charity. I worked out the price by tripling what it costs to buy the products, so I think that's fair with the time and effort put in."
5. Le Parker Meridien, New York City ($1000)

This summer, folks who wanted to rub elbows with the Australian government could pay $11,000 (that's $10,300 USD) for a special breakfast with Australian Prime Minister, Tony Abbott. The $11,000 was the price for just one individual, but in addition to breakfast with Prime Minister Abbott, it also included a morning tea with a senate briefing, an afternoon tea with the chiefs of staff and a policy luncheon. For $11,000, we hope they had some high quality food in addition to the quality company.
