First, it is over 1 million because that is Korean Won...you would need to convert to dollars - which is still expensive at $1,200 a share.

It's expensive because it's popular and in high demand

So I have been scavenging the stock market and looking for the general idea of prices of stocks. I came across Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. and it's price is like $1,311,000.00

Why is that so expensive?

Also on a side note, when i am searching for a company on the stock market, why is there so many versions of that company? (see pictures!) If I was buying a stock, which one would I click on to get information on the price?
