The 1000-year-old dirt pyramid of the ancient city of Cahokia, built by Native Americans in modern Illinois, covers 16 acres and was the largest building by volume in the United States until the 20th century. Indian textile merchant Pankaj Parakh wears a shirt made of pure gold that weighs almost 10 LBS, cost more than $200,000, and took 20 people 3200 hours to create. In 2013, a German heavy-metal fan was treated for brain injury caused by headbanging at a Motorhead show.

When these guys blow money like that I always think “That’s 200K he doesn’t have anymore”.I wouldn’t leave that shirt at the dry cleaners though, imagine them explaining how it “shrunk”

If the shirt had no other metals it must be 24K.
