A gold toilet, gunning for a Guinness World Record, was unveiled at a Shanghai trade fair last week and since being introduced it has created quite a stir among people. Not just gold, the lavish loo also features a bullet-proof seat studded with over 40,000 diamonds.
On November 5, People’s Daily China shared the image of the gold toilet on Twitter along with a caption about the loo’s particulars. “A toilet studded with 40,815 diamonds worth over $1,200,000 is exhibited at the 2nd #CIIE in Shanghai,” says the post’s caption.
This exceptional gold toilet is created by Coronet, reports Daily Mail. “We would like to build a diamond art museum so that more people can enjoy it,” told Aaron Shum, the brand’s founder. Further hinting at the brand’s unwilling to sell this gem-encrusted item.
