    1. Facials

    egeaspa.com

    24-karat face mask. Incidentally, this spa once displayed a window sign reading "Go back to school with a teen facial!"

    2. Pills

    citizen-citizen.com

    24-k gold-dipped, gold-filled capsules designed by Tobias Wong and J.A.R.K. $425 a pop.

    3. Vacuum cleaners

    govacuum.com

    Originally priced at $1 million, but currently on sale for $999,999.00! What a steal.

    4. Barbecue Grills

    extravaganzi.com / Via beefeaterbbq.com

    $164,000. Grilling surface aside, every component of this is plated with 24-karat gold. Not sure if the BBQ grease would ruin this after one use, or give it an even more luxurious sheen.

    5. Entire bathrooms

    Found in the Hang Fung Gold Technology showroom in Hong Kong. Customers can use the 900 lb solid gold toilet for $128. Who could resist that opportunity to upper deck?

    6. Chocolate bars

    Because what kind of a lowly human being eats chocolate without heavy metals?

    7. Slinkies

    officeplayground.com

    14-karat gold-plated slinky for the brattiest kid in class to jingle-jangle down their grand staircase. $99.99.

    incrediblethings.com / Via luxurylaunches.com

    White velvet, 3.2-karat gold, and Swarovski crystal buttons, commissioned by 32-year-old Indian moneylender Datta Phuge to impress ladies. It only set him back $22,400! Worth it? Worth it.

    9. Ice cream

    yourlocaladda.com

    Serendipity 3's Golden Opulence sundae costs $1000 and features 23-karat gold leaf, gold dragets, dessert caviar, and more. Served in a crystal goblet with an 18-karat gold spoon.

    10. iPhones

    tech.mikeshouts.com / Via goldandco.co.uk

    At $5000, one could buy 7 regular iPhone 5s instead.

    Basically a solid brick of gold. $14,450.

    12. Credit Cards

    designtaxi.com
