    An Indian businessman has treated himself for his 45th birthday in a way like no other: by having a shirt made out of gold.

    Pankaj Parakh, a local politician and the owner of a multi-million pound textile business near Mumbai, has had the shirt created out of pure love for the precious metal.

    The shirt in question weighs four kilos and is estimated to have cost 127,000.

    Probably feeling a little inadequate as there's another gold shirt owner in India who beats his by a kilo

    Hmm, this guy's gold shirt only weighs 3.3kg, although it did cost more - 162,000.

    Is there another wealthy Indian businessman out there with a 5kg gold shirt? :/

    I'd probably spill my coffee on it the first time I wore it.

    No worries - "The shirt has a thin cloth lining on the inside and can be washed and hung-dried, he says."

    "Yet, for my marriage 23 years ago, many guests considered me an embarrassment as I sported more gold than the bride," he recalled.
