Lam Sai-wing says he's never giving up his solid gold toilet.
But as the price of gold soars into the stratosphere, Lam is melting down other parts of his six-ton, palace of gold.
The Wall Street Journal reports the gold bathroom sink is history, as are the golden chandeliers.
As a boy growing up in China, Lam was obsessed with gold.
An apprenticeship as a goldsmith grew into a thriving wholesale jewelry business.
And he eventually built the golden palace, which has become a popular tourist attraction.
But Lam says even at $10,000 an once, he'd never sell his 24-carat commode.
