🚨✨ A 223-pound solid gold toilet just sold at Sotheby’s for a jaw-dropping $12.1 million — and yes, it’s fully functional.
Maurizio Cattelan, the mastermind behind the infamous duct-taped banana, created the piece and titled it “America.” A satire on wealth. A social mirror. And apparently… a luxury bathroom upgrade.
Highlights:
🚽 18-karat gold 🏛️ Previously installed at the Guggenheim 🕵️♂️ A matching version was stolen from a UK palace and still hasn’t been found 💎 Designed to make you question excess — while being the definition of excess
Because no matter how shiny the seat… it all still goes down the same drain 😄
