Something special for the 1%: Jean-Paul Gaultier makes 24-Karat Gold Bars
Fashion designers are putting their brand on everything these days, including kitchen sinks. But gold? Not gold jewelry or accessories, but rather gold bars.
Jean-Paul Gaultier has placed his logo on one-ounce 24-karot ingots of gold supplied by Dillon Gage Metals, and are selling for $1,826.33 with a $25 handling fee. Spot gold trading puts the price of one ounce of gold to be $1,660. Simply speaking, Jean-Paul can charge $191.33 just for putting his name and logo on something.
What’s next? Designer gasoline? Timber? Iron ore? Don’t answer that…
