First off, that's when you know you have too much money when you can afford to add 40lbs of gold to the exterior of your car. Secondly, the owner of this car has to be a high ranking member of the Russian mafia, otherwise that car would be stripped of the gold at its current price in the market.

Math check...

Lets see... Price of gold is about $920 per ounce
16 ounces in a pound
40 pounds of gold on the exterior of that 996 TT

Exterior value=$588,800

What!!?!?!?! That can't be right!!

How is that still on the road????

I knew it didn't sound right, but even still, $441,600 exterior value is insane. There are too many people in this world with too much bloody money.

Here's the link.
