To would mean that you know of. To me, that one-million-dollar sweater is the most expensive. While for would mean the most expensive of those sweaters meant for you to wear. Because that one-million-dollar sweater is likely not meant for you at all—but for somebody crazily wealthy.

"to me" would be very odd. "for me" sounds much better, but I don't really understand the sentence. Surely if a sweater is the most expensive for me, it's the most expensive for anyone? Sweaters aren't (usually) priced differently for different buyers.
I wonder if you mean, "This is the most expensive sweater that I can afford." If so, I think it's clearer to use this form of words than the original.
