Honk Kong Palace of Gold Is Being Sold

Since gold prices hit four-digit territory earlier this year, Mr. Lam has been taking apart his hall of gold as quickly as he once raced to construct it. He is melting down golden chandeliers, armchairs and armored knights and selling gold by the ton to fuel growth plans that include hundreds of new retail outlets in mainland China.
But even with the sell off, one thing is certain: The toilet stays. "I don't care if gold hits $10,000 an ounce," Mr. Lam says. "I'm not melting it down."
As far as Mr. Lam is concerned, the golden toilet is more than a Guinness World Record-certified, 24-karat, fully functional flushable throne.
