Jeweller Lam Sai-wing built a HK$27 million (£2.4 million; $3.5 million) washroom in his Hong Kong shop made entirely out of gold and precious jewels. The toilet bowls, wash basins, toilet brushes, toilet paper holders, mirror frames, wall-mounted chandeliers, wall tiles and doors are all made out of solid 24-carat gold. The ceiling is decorated with ruby, sapphire, emerald and amber and even the floor to the washroom is embedded with 900-g (2-lb) gold bars.
The inspiration for the toilet came from Lenin, who, in 1921, said that toilets of gold should be built to serve as a useful reminder of the waste of capitalist warfare.
