What is the most you've spent (or would spend) on an eyeshadow palette?

What is the most you've spent (or would spend) on an eyeshadow palette?

I think palettes priced around $50 or less is a good mark for more budgets than less. That seems to be the sweet spot for getting some value out of buying multiple shades all at once, giving up the ability to customize, etc. I don’t think that palettes at $100+ are “worth it” in the sense...

What are your weaknesses when it comes to eyeshadows?
