I doubt it. Things that cost hundreds of thousands are, for the most part, extremely resource intensive, which is part why they're expensive in the first place. Even rare gems which are small but many of these things are big. The more well known exception to this is luxury items which are just costly for costly sake. The other is art, which can be expensive because desire (like luxury) or scams/tax evasion.
Of course this doesn't mean everyone is aware of these things but they're still publicly known.

I think you're reaching. The things you're talking about have physical impacts. You can't run computers without building chips, developing power systems, and so on. Yes, things of value need not be inherently physical but there are no things that are not connected to the physical world in some form or another.
What I meant to say is "not all things are physical objects". Since you're still referring to physical objects like chips, power systems, and so on. Things that you can buy with money also be not-physical-objects, such as training data harvested from millions of human work-hours.
