Photo from the book Toilets of the World by Morna E. Gregory and Sian James. Solid gold toilet most expensive toilet in the world, Hong Kong.

All that glitters is gold in this awesome bathroom born of a quote by Lenin. A Hong Kong jeweller took Lenin literally when the Marxist leader said that toilets should be made of gold to remind the world of the waste of capitalist warfare. As cited in the Guinness Book of World Records, this 3.5 million dollar washroom is the most expensive on the planet. Fixtures, sinks, taps, toilet brushes and toilet paper holders are all gold. The gleaming floors are made of petrified wood and inlaid gold, and the ceiling is encrusted with precious gems. The crown jewels of this exquisite lavatory are the two 24 karat solid gold toilets.

    This book is fantastic for anyone interested in travelling to new places(who isn’t!) and experiencing different cultures as directly as possible. The subject matter is intriguing from both a sociological perspective and a personal one, as everyone has their own toilet story in one form or another. I would like to buy a million of them.
    Sincerely,
