Golden Throne




Talk about spending a penny… you’ll need a few extra bob if you want to use this golden throne. Put on show by Hong Kong jewellery company Hang Fung Hold Technology, the 24 karat, handcrafted loo is part of a display of golden artefacts, which weigh in at a total of one tonne altogether. With the climbing price of gold it’s thought the company will now melt down the contents of the Hall of Gold – worth about $32 million – to finance their expansion plans. Although, because the golden lavatory has been such a hit with the tourists, there’s talk it just might escape a sticky end.
