Who exactly uses any of these items below is a major question ????
This is purely obsession with Gold .
Golden Toilet
World’s priciest toilet is located in Hong Kong. Built in 2001, the entire washroom required 380 kg of pure gold and 6,200 gemstones. Even the fixtures are made of gold. It costed HK $38 million and is now worth HK $80 million.

Gold-plated Dildo

We’re not sure what purpose there is in this $1500 gold plated Elo Vya vibrator other than to give you heavy metal poisoning, but here it is. The 18k gold plated vibrator will satisfy women (and men), but also passes its AU into your porous areas. Which can’t be good at all. But hey, it’s now on sale for $999. Score!


Edible Gold Dessert

A posh restaurant in New York makes a $26,135 dessert, the world’s most expensive one. Stephen Bruce, owner of Serendipity 3 in Manhattan’s Upper East side, said pudding called the Frrrozen Haute Chocolate, is concocted using a blend of 28 rare, exotic cocoas before being topped with whipped cream, and sprinkled with 23-carat edible gold dust and a La Madeline au Truffle.
Along with the treat, the eater gets to take home the goblet it is served upon, the diamond encrusted 18 carat gold spoon used to eat it and a gold ladies’ bracelet.

Gold-Plated Pram

This gold-plated pram, which boasts a fitted sound system and satin interior, was sold at Harrods for a staggering £6,000. Described as “the ultimate in “baby bling”, the converted Silver Cross Silver Shadow is dripping in £4,000-worth of 24-carat gold, which covers every panel as well as its wheels and spokes. The show-stopping pram was created by Graham Richardson and Alison Murfet, who run a pram-restoring business in Holbeach, Lincolnshire.

Golden Porsche


This jazzed Porsche 911 is from Russia. Covered with 40 pounds of pure gold, it was designed by Visualis, in 22 carat beaten gold. All the major components, from the control elements such as the steering wheel and doorknobs to the car body and alloy rims are covered with gold.

Golden PC Case

Tokyo-based Zeus Computer is reaching out to deep-pocketed celebrities and thenouveau riche with a line of luxury personal computers housed in bejeweled cases. It is yellow because it is made of solid gold and those sparkling white lights are nothing else but the encrusted diamonds. This is Mars, world’s most expensive PC case! It costs only $570,000! They also have a Platinum version.

Golden Keyboard


t is insanely strange taste to cover a keyboard with a pure gold, but that’s exactly what Wazakura Koubou has made. While it might look expensive, you can actually get one for only 28.875 Yen, about US$271

Gold Pills


Tobias Wong and Ju$t Another Rich Kid created the “Gold Pill”, dipped in gold and filled with 24-karat gold leaf. You’re supposed to eat it “to increase your self-worth.” That would be funny if it didn’t cost $425 for the joke.

Gold-plated Nintendo Wii


Presented to the Queen by THQ in a publicity stunt to promote the release of the Big Family Games Wii software title, this gold plated Nintendo Wii, was delivered to Buckingham Palace with the aforementioned game.

Gold-plated Coffee Machine

If you want your kitchen to spark, this 24-Karat gold-plated automatic coffee center, called Impressa F9, makes perfectly brewed coffee, espresso, latte, cappuccino, and other delicious coffee drinks with just a touch of a button. The automatic coffee center is limited to just 555 numbered units for a price of $2,799. Capresso will donate a portion of the proceeds to the “Share Our Strength” and “Coffee for Kids” charities. So, show off your wealth and your kind heart, at the same time!

Golden Bra


Launched by Korea’s Golden Zone at a fashion show in Seoul, this brassiere costs more than a million (1.89 million to be precise) but you may end up paying a lot more in comfort (and style!). Decorated with encrusted diamonds and loops of liquid gold, not only is this garment unattractive, but I imagine wearing it must hurt

Golden Bike

This crystal and gold bike was created by a company named Aurumania, whose self-proclaimed purpose is to conceive of and design items with the extravagant use of gold, thereby turning familiar objects into collectible art. In this case, a $102,418.60 piece of art. Each bike is hand built, plated with 24 carat gold and hand-adorned with more than 600 Swarovski crystals.

Windsor Castle – England

Windsor Castle, in Windsor in the English county of Berkshire, is the largest inhabited castle in the world and, dating back to the time of William the Conqueror, is the oldest in continuous occupation.The castle’s floor area is approximately 484,000 square feet (44,965 square metres).



I recently found out that the biggest house in the world is Windsor Castle, located in England, Berkshire. The castle’s floor area is approximately 484,000 square feet (about 45,000 square metres). The castle, after centuries of alterations, contains about 1,000 rooms and occupies 13 acres of land. Who would have guessed? I’ve visited the amazing building a few times on school trips when I was younger. I evidently didn’t pay any attention to the tour guide- but who does at that age? School trips were always about having a reason to escape the school grounds for the day and being able express ourselves in our hip, baggy clothes. That’s probably why I didn’t realise castles were considered as “houses”. I just thought castles were castles and houses were houses. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The actual definition of “house” is as follows: House: a building in which people live; residence for human beings. People live in castles, so it looks like a castle, by definition, is a “house”, and in that case, Windsor Castle is one mother of a house.
