Real question is why society allows someone to be so rich that they shit in a 6 million $ toilet

A gold toilet named America is just so … chefs kiss

[billybunter]

rather extravagant for the royal family having a gold toilet when there are so many people suffering deprivation in this country disgracefull.

The only problem I have with this as an American is the fact that it's actually functioning. I think to truly capture the essential nature of our culture it should be plugged up and full of....

It’s disgusting to the majority of 7billion humans that any single human feels so entitled they own a gold toilet whilst so many fellow humans are starving to death 😮🇬🇧🌈♥️👍

Man i would melt that down the very next day. Turn it into bars, bury it way out in some national park then turn myself in. Go do my 10 years in prison while the price of gold goes much higher. Get out of prison, dig up the gold, go sell it and live like a king. I think it would be more accurate to name the stack of cash I get for selling the gold, America...

Seems a little disrespectful to name a toilet 🚽 after a close and valued ally. We did save their ass after all. Twice.

Let them go. It's art now. If the owner has 6 million to spend on a toilet, they already have too much money. I can get them a nice toilet for $500.

How rude and the last time we saw a gold toilet it was saddam husseins. Classy.

A $6 million toilet! A toilet, and people are homeless and starving! What's the chatge going to be? "Robbing their hood?"

[danboyd]

One on the thieves was caught wearing the seat around his neck?

[trinityrose]

The toilet needs to be melted down and the money given to help people that are in need

[wilfriedholscher]

How very appropriate to name the Toilette "America"

[Jim_Snowman]

It gives new meaning to the old saying -- "My shit doesn't stink!" 💩

[simplyme]

Tha toliet's name is America. How's that for respect. Okayyy

[senchalhatton]

Maybe Trump hired the crooks, to add to his gold toilet collection. 😂

[heatherdowhaluk]

America?😂😂 someone has a sense of humour

[eleanorpitt]

There are far more urgent and critical issues happening than a $6 million dollar toilet being stolen 🙄

[denisehodges]

I would say his golden toilet but after hearing about his finances I'm thinking it's just plated or spray painted and not solid gold..

[mrshariar]

A golden toilet! which is still needs to be cleaned with harpic though. What a waste of money.
