Most expensive shirt in the world
Ever wonder what the most expensive shirt in the world is made out of? Well, it’s made entirely out of gold. In India and most places, gold is a symbol of prestige and power, and people purchase gold to be looked upon as flashy and luxuriant. 

An Indian man, Datta Phuge, nicknamed the ‘gold man,’ has purchased one of the most expensive shirts in the world, for a whopping $235,000. Per msn.com, the shirt has 14,000 “gold flowerings” that have been combined with 100,000 spangles and 6 Swarovski crystal buttons. READ MORE AFTER THE CUT


It took 15 days and 16 people to create the shirt, with the biggest challenge being comfort. Designers came up with a gold cloth sewn in Italian weave, and a velvet lining was put inside to prevent any type of scratching. 

According to time.com the shirt weighs seven pounds, and to ensure his safety, Phuge has security detail when he’s wearing the shirt.
