An Indian textile magnate who made a fortune from his clothing empire is making sure the rest of the world knows about his success - by having a shirt made out of pure gold.

Although he left school without any qualifications Pankaj Parakh created a multi-million pound textile business in India.

And now, to celebrate his upcoming 45th birthday on Friday, he has commissioned the solid gold shirt that weighs more than four kilos.

Last year wealthy Datta Phuge has splashed out £14,000 on a solid gold shirt to make sure he's a 24 karat hit with women in central India

[Nye Bevan]

[Ikonoklast]

14. Just keep your distance from his chauffeur.

[KittyWampus]

17. Correction- I am sure the first guy made his millions as a SWEATSHOP OWNER-

that his wage slaves were making textiles is purely incidental.

[MFM008]

19. oh and

couple of real men...............

[brooklynite]

20. Face it, there'll always be a Donald Trump in the world

Consider the following:



This was built 2000 years ago by a wealthy Roman (not an Emperor) who decided that, if it was good enough for the Egyptian Pharohs, it was good enough for him.

23. Oh shit, I thought my design for my tombstone was original

Oh, well. Back to the drawing bored...

(In reality, I expect to be cremated and interred in a columbarium at Arlington or another veterans' cemetery--if I don't go with just having my ashes scattered.)

[Initech]

31. Hmmm... Who does this guy remind me of?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

33. From the headline I figured they were from India

Seems to be a cultural thing.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

34. gold shirts are not a cultural thing. investment in gold jewelry is. nt

[pnwmom]

35. The math doesn't add up. A solid gold shirt should cost much more than they're saying.

But it IS very shiny.

http://www.goldpriceoz.com/gold-price-per-kilo/

Gold today cost more than $42K per kilo. A four kilo shirt would be $168K.

But supposedly someone last year paid 14,000 pounds for a solid gold shirt?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

36. i think some of the math is incorrect due to conversation from the rupee to the pound

[KamaAina]

37. "the solid gold shirt that weighs more than four kilos."

That must hurt like hell!
