The City of New Orleans. However, having lost Hispaniola to a slave revolt, needing cash for a possible upcoming war with Britain and wishing to prevent it from falling into British Control, Napoleon offered to sell all of Louisiana, some 828,000 square miles from the current state of Louisiana up to Canada.
Monroe was authorized to spend up to $10M for New Orleans, but exceeded his authority when Napoleon offered all of the territory for $15M, less than 3¢ per acre.
Though widely lauded for the move, there were those in Congress who wanted Monroe's head for spending more than he was authorized.
