TikTok users are wondering what the most expensive gift is. What’s more, if it’s the Universe, just how much real money does it cost to send a TikTok Universe? Here is the need-to-know info.
What is the most expensive gift on TikTok?
The most expensive gift on TikTok is the TikTok Universe. It costs a whopping 44,999 Coins.
If you want to buy a TikTok Universe, you’ll need to “recharge” your account through multiple transactions. This is because the maximum top-up amount is capped at 17,495 Coins. Those feeling generous will need to buy the biggest bundle of Coins twice, before then topping up with some of the smaller bundles.
Once the account is topped up with enough Coins, users can click the TikTok Universe to send it to their chosen creator.
How much is a TikTok Universe in real money?
The TikTok Universe costs around $550 of real money.
If you spot a TikTok Universe being gifted to a live user, you’ll know that someone just dropped $550 of real money on that streamer. Needless to say, that is a lot of money to send in one go.
Gifts and Coins act as a way to obscure the real money that is being invested. It’s often easier for users to spend “Coins” that have no real-world value, when compared to dollars. What’s more, sending a “TikTok Universe” doesn’t sound quite as outlandish as splurging $550.
Of course, some creators out there may deserve the generous donation of a TikTok Universe, and that’s up to those watching the streams to decide. However, if you’re considering investing money into donating Universe gifts, try to remember the real-world monetary value attached to it.
