Thread: Your weight (loss) in gold

I was watching a very interesting video on youtube the other night about the vaults in london that hold the british gold reserves (think fort knox, but not as fancy.)

It was saying that there was something like 3 billion pounds (+/-) worth of gold stored there at any time. They were talking about the gold and the man doing the tour said that each gold bar was worth $700,000 (roughly £432,020) and weighs 28Lbs each..


Quick math in my head:

I've lost 146Lbs, so:
146 / 28 = 5.2
5.2 * 700,000 = $ 3,640,000
Or £ 2,251,361

I've lost about 2 1/4 million pounds worth of gold.. WTF!!! when do i get that paid into my bank account, please

I wouldn't say no to getting that kind of cash with each weight loss, think it might inspire me to get started again :P

How about you, how much cash in gold have you lost

Just £700,000 - I wouldn't mind collecting that but I'm pretty sure what I've shed wasn't pure gold!

Woah £935,708.60 I'd take that no question. In fact, I'd take a 10th of it, hah!

Wow love this! The weight ive lost with sw = £ 1,468,868 in gold thats amazing - I love these kind of facts and figures x
