A Hong Kong property tycoon and his wife have reportedly paid 125,000 euros (US$160,406) for a huge white truffle, which may be the most expensive of its kind ever purchased.

Gordon Wu and his wife outbid connoisseurs from France and Italy to win the 1.5kg Alba white truffle from an international auction on Sunday, said a spokeswoman for the Ritz-Carlton hotel, which hosted the Hong Kong part of the auction on Tuesday.
