I remember reading about 147M$ bitcoin transfer (~195k BTC, would be much more today). [1] As the reference says:

"On the bitcointalk forums, some users were less interested in the owners’ identity and more impressed by the infrastructure that allowed such an amount to be transferred without any regulatory hindrance, lawyers, or fees (the user paid no transaction fee at all). Even handing over that amount in hard cash would be a logistical challenge."

Liu Yiqian paid $170 million on his credit card once [1]. Presumably the transaction was instantaneous. As an added bonus he also got free first class travel for self and family for life because of the points accrued. For those who can afford it BTC is by no means the only way to make such transactions quickly.
