You’re actually right. The only gold toilet I’ve ever actually seen was some oil-sheik’s or something years ago, and I conflated it with his tendency to otherwise put gold plating on everything - that image in the New York(?) apartment sprung to mind - and a random comment I saw saying the same thing. Still, whether I used ‘literally’ correctly or not, the irony of a man used to excess preaching the virtues of austerity still stands. Fuck him.
Apparently the toilet thing isn’t true, came from a picture of some jeweler’s bathroom.

Snopes does say that he has “gold-plated sink fixtures in one bathroom on his private jet”, though.
EDIT: And that jet, ignoring the furnishings, is something like 30 times the price of the jeweler’s bathroom with the gold toilet.
