Extreme Obnoxiousness. The Million Dollar 24k Gold Mountain Bike.

24k gold mountain bike

“The House of Solid Gold” has created the world’s most expensive extreme mountain bike. And probably the most ridiculous. With 13 created for the world market and priced at $1,000,000 a piece, the 24k gold plated “The Beverly Hills edition” mountain bike is also known as the “fat bike.”  Even more bizarre is that the company intends to donate 90% of the proceeds of the sales of these to The Church of Scientology.

The House of Solid Gold’s founder, Hugh Power, has been changing the playing field for 30 years designing and creating outrageous objects of art. He is also the designer of the world’s most expensive reading glasses, the CliC Gold’s. Without hesitation, Dan Bull, an internationally recognized ultra athlete and extreme sports promoter who was founder of “Iditabike”, the insanely extreme race through Alaska in the winter, worked with Hugh to bring the world this bespoke extreme bicycle. The modern era of “fat bikes” were basically invented and brought to the world by Mr. Bull’s forsight decades ago.

Equally odd is that the company intends to give at least 90% of the proceeds from the sales of these bikes to the Church of Scientology’s charitable organization called The Way To Happiness.*
