The King of Bling



Jonathan Cheng of the Wall Street Journal profiles a real-life Goldfinger in Hong Kong, Lam Sai-wing, who has built his fortune and lifestyle around a love of gold. This year, when the price of gold shot up to $1,000 an ounce, the latter-day Liberace has been moved to have a sort of golden garage sale, selling items such as a horse-drawn chariot. However, his prize possession, a 24-Karat toilet, will remain at home:

I don't care if gold hits $10,000 an ounce," Mr. Lam says. "I'm not melting it down."
