White Elephant
A white elephant is a "burdensome posession, creating more trouble than it's worth."
"White (albino) elephants were regarded as holy in ancient times in Thailand and other Asian countries. Keeping a white elephant was a very expensive undertaking, since the owner had to provide the elephant with special food and provide access for people who wanted to worship it. If a Thai King became dissatisfied with a subordinate, he would give him a white elephant. The gift would, in most cases, ruin the recipient."

I didn't see the price on this but it doesn't look to burdensome.
