The ‘Real Life King Midas’ turns everyday objects into gold.
I don’t know about you, but I think that gold makes everything better. I am saying this as I am writing at my gold desk, lit up by the lights under my gold shelf, in front of the gold chandelier that hangs over my bed. Call me a homo, but I love gold.

To give you an idea of his pricing, gold shoelaces will run you about $15K, gold earbuds are $15K, gold chopsticks are around $1,600, and a gold-plated, diamond-encrusted soccer ball costs $375K.
Obviously this guy isn’t cheap, but if you love gold as much as I do you will understand the appeal. After all, he once made a gold toothpick for Snoop Dog. Is there a better claim to fame than that?
