A Culinary Masterpiece by Chef Robbert
Welcome to the exclusive home of The Golden Boy,
the world’s most expensive hamburger.
Created by world-renowned chef Robbert de Veen,
this gourmet burger is more than just a meal.
It’s an extraordinary experience that blends luxury ingredients with a deeper purpose. The Golden Boy holds the
official Guinness World Record for the most expensive burger, and proceeds from its sale have been donated to charity, making a meaningful impact.
The Inspiration Behind The Golden Boy
Chef Robbert de Veen was inspired to elevate the classic hamburger into a symbol of culinary excellence. With The Golden Boy, he aimed to craft a dish that would not only stand as a testament to gastronomic luxury but also draw attention to important social issues. In 2024, more than 160,000 people in the Netherlands relied on food banks—a fact Chef Robbert found staggering. His mission was to create a meal that would capture attention, not only for its extravagance but also for the good it could achieve.
Crafted with 148 Premium Ingredients
The Golden Boy isn’t just about its price—it’s about the quality, craftsmanship, and the rare ingredients that come together to create a truly unique burger. Featuring 148 ingredients sourced from around the world, this burger takes the concept of luxury dining to new heights. Each ingredient has been chosen for its flavor, exclusivity, and ability to create a symphony of tastes.
Some of the standout ingredients include:
- Dom Perignon Champagne Bun, infused with the iconic champagne and covered in 24-karat gold leaf.
- Smoked Duck Egg Mayo, adding a rich, smoky depth to every bite.
- Little Gems, crisp and fresh, adding a perfect crunch.
- White Truffle, one of the most coveted ingredients in the world, giving an earthy, luxurious flavor.

- Wagyu Burger A5, the centerpiece of the burger, offering rich marbling and unmatched tenderness.
- Best Cheddar Cheese, melted to perfection, bringing a creamy, savory finish.

A World Record Holder
The Golden Boy is officially recognized as the
world’s most expensive burger,
setting a Guinness World Record at a staggering €5,000. Its unique combination of rare, high-end ingredients has earned it global acclaim, making it not just a meal but a symbol of gastronomic luxury.
A Burger with a Purpose
Though it may sound excessive to spend €5,000 on a single burger, the reason behind the price is as important as the burger itself. In 2024, more than 160,000 people in the Netherlands had to rely on food banks. Chef Robbert was determined to use his culinary skills to make a difference.
That’s why the entire €5,000 earned from the sale of The Golden Boy was donated to the Dutch National Food Bank (Voedselbank Nederland). This generous act allows the food bank to distribute over 1,000 food packages to families in need, ensuring that Chef Robbert’s creation doesn’t just satisfy one individual—it helps feed hundreds.
