In a real estate transaction that could make Scrooge McDuck jealous, a Chinese man recently turned heads by buying a house with a literal golden touch.

The golden spectacle did not only catch the attention of the involved parties but also sent shock waves through social media.
While gold bars might not be the standard currency for home purchases, this man surely had his reasons. Many netizens went on to say this might just be the “ultimate flex”.
One wrote, “To say you pay for your mansion with gold is a high flex, man pulling out bricks like rabbit in a hat yes”. A second netizen said, “That’s REAL money that never suffers from inflation”.
