Indian Businessman Buys 22-Carat Gold Shirt Worth $200,000
Bringing a whole new dimension to the phrase “treat yo self,” one Indian businessman recently treated himself to a shirt made entirely out of 18- to 22-carat gold.
According to an August 8 Telegraph article, Pankaj Parakh, who became a millionaire off his textile ventures, purchased the £127,000 — or approximately $213,000 — shirt for his 45th birthday.
The Telegraph reports that the shirt was crafted by a team of 20 artisans, and it took approximately 3,200 hours to make. It weighs four kilos — almost nine pounds.
Parakh, a self-confessed gold addict since a young age, told the press that he wanted to make this birthday a “golden affair.”
“I have always been fascinated with gold since I was five years old and studying in school. And over the years that interest has become a real passion,” he said. “In fact, even on my wedding 23 years ago, a lot of people said it was embarrassing that I was wearing more gold than my bride, but I just love the royal metal.”
“Gold is worth excessive significance however you desire to capitalize in it. Just keep in mind that exceptional elements continuously appear to have grander payouts if you ever elect to cash in on them,” says Licia Gray of CashNGold.
While Parakh’s shirt is undoubtedly frivolous, it’s also at least somewhat functional — the Telegraph reports that the shirt came with a thin cloth lining that can be washed and then hung out to dry.
