The Munich company Pro Aurum has created the most expensive Christmas tree in the world, which has become a real work of jewelry. This three -meter structure weighing 60 kilograms consists of 2024 gold coins. On the top of the Christmas tree, instead of a traditional star or angel, is the largest 24-carat coin. The total cost of golden tree is estimated in the equivalent of UAH 211.5 million.
The Christmas tree is created not for sale, but for demonstrating the stability and value of gold as investments. The spoketer of Pro Aurum, Benjamin sum, commented: the project is intended to cause admiration, but also emphasize the importance of gold in the world economy.
Despite the ambitious idea, not everyone perceived the Christmas tree as a successful symbol of the holiday. Some of the audience condemns the work, calling it "doubtful" in view of the current crisis and the increase in the cost of living in the world. This is not the first time that Christmas trees become the object of controversy because of excessive luxury. Festive trees that are installed in different countries often cause discussions about the expediency of their design and cost.
In recent years, the world has seen many similar festive initiatives that have been balanced on the verge of luxury and absurdity. From the diamonds of trees in shopping centers to pure gold designs - such examples cause polar grades in society every time.
On the one hand, a tree of pure gold symbolizes stability and luxury, but on the other, its criticism indicates the need to balance between festive mood and social responsibility.
