yeah, the basic birkin starts around 4k-ish... but can climb up to more than $70,000 for crocodile leather and diamond-encrusted hardware.
I know they were talking to Heidi Klum or some model cant remember and she was carrying an orange Birkin that was limited and very hard to come by. The bag was around 90k which i thought was ridculous. I know they are expensive.
Heres a little info i found just so you guys know a little more about how costly Birkin bags really are.

Generally, the cost of Birkin starts at about $6,000 and can easily make its way into 5- and sometimes 6-digit figures. The alleged waiting list for a Birkin is now over two years, although, in practice, a customer can walk into a Hermès shop and purchase one if the shop manager feels that she is a legitimate buyer and not a reseller. In Plum Sykes' novel Bergdorf Blondes (2004), set among New York's Park Avenue set, Julie Bergdorf stole a Birkin from her family's store, Bergdorf Goodman, so that she could avoid a three year wait. Sophie Albou, founder of the fashion house, Paul & Joe, claimed to have bought a Birkin each season for ten years, describing her collection as "an expensive addiction but ... part of my heritage as a French woman".
20,000 is way too much for a bag, no matter what precious animal skin it is. this gucci bag would look the same without the crocodile leather and in embossed croco like pattern.
