Worth thinking about now at the current market value of $54,460.00 USD.
That just BLOWS my mind!!
I can't even wrap my head around that number. I bought my wife a 24 karat bracelet while I was working in Asia for around $800 bucks. Over there a lot of the people of Indian descent believe in wearing their wealth on their person in the form of jewelry. So, they sell some serious gold there. I've never weighed this bracelet but it's a solid sucker, Probably weighs at least 9 or 10 oz's. I know it weighs more than 8 oz, but I can't remember exactly what the weight was (which is how they sold stuff, by the ounce). At $54.5k/oz that bracelet must be worth something like $490,000 dollars,
and that just short circuits my brain!! It's like I can't even believe it, like it's not even real!!!edit - I just checked and the spot price for gold is only $3,402/oz which makes me feel a little better. Only worth $30,618, which is a little more believable to me. I knew it would appreciate, but not THAT much!! I about jumped outta' my pants when I saw that $54k number!! I was ready to strap on my body armor and take that thing straight to the bank...like seriously!!!
I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd be tickled shitless over that thing being worth near a half-million bucks, but I was just going through (in my head) all the BS hoops you'd have to jump through to actually sell it for that much!
