    This is a video clip from the HBO epic fantasy series 'Game of Thrones'. (Again, spoiler alert if you watch this series.)

    It speaks volumes about the true nature of wealth. Even if it is fiction, every line from this scene rings true in the real world.

    The ambushed man is Xaro Xhoan Daxos, reputedly 'the wealthiest man' a prosperous merchant city named 'Qarth'.

    According to the rumors, Xaro keeps his fortune locked in his own vault; the key he keeps around his neck.

    Take a look at what happens when the intruders open his vault.

    That's right, open up the central bank's vault and there is no gold.

    Winter is coming next week. Can't wait!
    We need another book too.
    As for the clip - meh, Daenerys has a boring storyline.
    Oh, missing gold? Who'd a thunk it was all gone?
