priceless
Cannot be bought
Priceless describes something so valuable it cannot be assigned a price—a priceless heirloom, a priceless work of art.
The word often applies to things whose worth is sentimental or irreplaceable rather than monetary: priceless memories, priceless moments with family.
In casual speech, priceless means hilariously funny or absurd: The look on his face was priceless.
