11 Unbelievable Glittering Golden Objects

By Queuebot in Everything Else on Oct 1, 2009 at 10:07 am


Gold is a precious metal so you would, understandably, assume that it is used sparingly and wisely. However, that’s not always the case. Some people have more money than wit, as you can see from how one of the most expensive metals on earth is used to quite literally increase one’s self worth by ingesting a golden pill. Shown are statues of the ex-President of Turkmenistan, Saparmurat Niyazov, who loved gold almost as much as he loved seeing his own image. See more golden bling at Money Hacker.
