An "oldie" revisited:

A multi-millionaire became sort of depressed as he gradually realized that, not only was he not the smartest person in the world, there were in fact several people on the globe with more intelligence---higher IQs. In this funk, he heard of a clandestine clinic in Switzerland that, for outrageous prices, could actually inject a person with viable brain cells from deceased human donors. He was off in a flash in his luxury private 747 jet.
After landing and then coptering to the remote medical complex, the moneybags was soon being given a special tour of the facility by the medical research manager after emphasizing that "price is no object!"
Pointing to a large sealed glass tray in a bath of liquid super-coolant, the scientist noted "These are the brain cells from some of the world'finest engineers. They are priced at just $25,000 an ounce!"
Again, the billionaire assured him no price was too high and asked "What else do you have?"
Moving on, the doc motioned toward another similar container and proudly said "Here, we have brain cells from MIT grads---theoretical mathematicians, astrophysicists---geniuses all! These go for $60,000 per ounce!"
Wanting go cut to the chase, the rich guy asks "Where are your most expensive brain cells?"
"Follow me" the director said and walked down a spiral staircase to a brightly lit chamber containing only one small glass tray which held perhaps a cup of cells.
"Those", the tour guide solemnly intoned, "are Trump supporter brain cells and they are $500,000 an ounce!"
"Whoa!" the billionaire exclaimed, "If engineer brains are 25 grand per ounce and MIT grads are 60 thousand per ounce, why in the world are Trump supporter brains so much more expensive?"
"It's simple, really" the doctor replied. "Have you any idea how many Trump supporter heads you have to crack open to accumulate an ounce of brains?"

My punch line (most expensive) was whatever occupation they were in.
