Happier to let someone else spymaster.

Hmmm:
LIMOUSINE
IVORY
OPERA

All both fairly expensive and traditionally luxury.

Then I can see a bunch of tangential connections:
WHALEs are rare and hence expensive - Japan pays both money and reputation
BEACH front property is expensive
A MINT makes money, the most expensive thing of all (although coins, which are maybe less so?)
SKYSCRAPERs are typically massively expensive
POOLs are expensive, particularly to maintain
TIEs are part of expensive fancy dress
DINOSAURs are probably quite expensive even if you're talking bones rather than Jurassic Park.

Really not sure which I'd put in the fourth spot.  Leaning toward expensive on a personal level, not an institutional one, so that would be BEACH, TIE, or POOL.  But I don't really have a principled reason for that lean.  I guess it's time to hope for teammate insight.

IVORY, LIMOUSINEs, and the OPERA are expensive pursuits.
You might say they cost a MINT.

Those are my top choices. Other possiblities:
WHALE - like IVORY, widely banned, and therefore expensive
SKYSCRAPER - expensive to build and rent
SOLDIER - war is expensive
POOL - another status symbol, if not quite at the same level as IVORY/LIMOUSINE/OPERA

After reading Mardoc's spoiler:
I'm not sold on BEACH or TIE.
Beachfront property is expensive, but that's a second order connection. Many beaches themselves are free to the public.
Ties can be expensive and form part of expensive outfits but everyday office ties can also be fairly cheap.
