Christmas is just an hour away and if you still have abundant of cash and you don't know how to spend it, then you might consider buying a gold-plated iPhone case that features the face of America's president, Donald Trump.

CNN Money reported about Goldgenie, the brand that adds gold to any item that the customer wants. The same brand sells purely gold smartphone encrusted with diamond, and of course, Trump's face.

How It Started? Fortune shared how the idea of selling the golden-plated iPhone started and it all began when a Chinese woman walked into a store in Sharjah, a place near Dubai. The woman then asked for a device with the president-elect's face as she hoped to give this as a gift for Donald Trump's inauguration next month. Frank Fernando, the managing director of the said shop named Goldengenie Store, had shared this story on CNN Money.

After selling this, it has sold another 9 units of Trump's golden iPhone. Established in London in the year 1989, Goldgenie has provided many customized household items such as games consoles, mobile phones, and other items made of copper, nickel, solid gold, chrome, platinum plating, diamonds, and Swarovskie crystals. The brand also sells a gold plated racing bike that costs around $350,000.

How Much Is It? Going back to their latest item, the gold-plated iPhone costs around $151,000. That's a lot of cash and actually, it is more than 10 times the regular price of the recently released iPhone 7 Plus. Fernando told CNN that this gift is for those who are extremely wealthy, high-net-worth individuals living all over the world who, because of having a lot, are difficult to purchase a gift since they almost have everything.
