Here is one of Einstein's assets that was auctioned off huge amounts of money.

The watch has a silver layer, there is a large ring on the face only minutes, a small circle of seconds indicates in Arabic numbers.

This is one of three famous Einstein watches. He owned it in the 1900s at the age of 21 and recently graduated from a four-year bachelor's degree in physics and mathematics at the ETH Zürich school in Switzerland.

Since then, Einstein often uses this watch when working and preserving very carefully.

The watch was sold for £ 266,500 (equivalent to $ 361,477), about 13 times the initial estimate.

Express.co.uk page says this leather jacket from the Nobel Prize-winning physicist was auctioned in 2016 and earned £ 110,500 compared to the initial estimate of only £ 60,000.

This leather jacket was jokingly called the costume of the Colombian, produced by fashion company Levi Strauss & Co.

It is said that Einstein used to wear this shirt for about 4 years in Europe before he brought him to America to avoid a massacre of Jews by the Hitler administration.

At the auction, the participants said they could sense the smell of Einstein smoking often still lingering in every fabric although it had a lifespan of several decades.

Finally, this jacket was bought by Levi Strauss & Co, the fashion company, as a souvenir and for other purposes such as display and advertising.

According to CNBC, in an auction in Israel in 2017, Einstein's two lines of "happiness theory" were sold for $ 1.3 million - an unbelievable number!

In 1922 - a year after receiving the Nobel Prize in Physics, Einstein went to Japan to lecture and stay at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo.

At that time, a messenger came to deliver information to Eistein, but he had no tip in him. He decided to write a line of notes in German on two sheets of paper that were given to this person with a blessing, if the two notes would be worth many times more than the usual tip.

On the first paper, Einstein wrote, "Life is peaceful, humble will have more joy and happiness than pursuing success always worries." In the second sheet, Einstein wrote: "Free will, everything will have a way."

Indeed, later two notes on this "theory of happiness" cost up to 1.3 million.
