In a real estate deal that would make Scrooge McDuck jealous, a Chinese man recently made headlines by purchasing a house with literal golden touches.
Instead of the usual bundles of cash or wire transfers, this unconventional buyer chose to seal the deal with solid gold bricks, each of tremendous value. 60,000 yuan (approx. 714,045 million rupees).
This golden spectacle not only attracted the attention of those involved, but also sent shockwaves through social media.
Gold bars may not be the standard currency for buying a home, but this guy certainly had his reasons. Many netizens continued that this might just be “.”ultimate flex”.
One person wrote: “Paying for a mansion in money is very flexible. Man pulling out bricks like a rabbit in a hat, yeah.” Another netizen said: “This is real money that won’t suffer from inflation.”
Social media has been abuzz with speculation about whether gold bricks will grow into a trend. Are we witnessing the beginning of a real estate revolution where gold becomes the new standard for real estate transactions?
Only time will tell, but for now, there is no doubt that this man has set a shining precedent for those looking to succeed in the housing market.
