In a tweet that has caught the attention of investors and social media users alike, businessman Harsh Goenka illustrated the soaring value of gold over the past three decades. According to his post, “1990: 1kg gold = Maruti 800, 2000: 1kg gold = Esteem, 2005: 1kg gold = Innova, 2010: 1kg gold = Fortuner, 2019: 1kg gold = BMW, 2025: 1kg gold = Land Rover.” He concluded with a cautionary note, “Lesson: Keep the 1kg gold- in 2030 it may equal a Rolls Royce car and in 2040 a private jet!”
Investor Reactions and Online Discussion
The tweet sparked a lively debate among netizens, with varied opinions on gold as an investment. One user remarked, “The way Euphoria is going on in Gold, it can equal back to BMW. In market any story that is known to all and visible everywhere, is actually not a story anymore. Hope in Gold party people are dancing near the exit gate.”
Another poetically captured gold’s potential, saying, “Invest in gold, the wise always say, From Maruti to BMW, it paves the way Coins today, Rolls tomorrow, jets in sight, Hold it tight, sleep well at night. Gold today, empire tomorrow, your future.”
Gold as a Ticket to Aspirations
Some users highlighted gold’s symbolic value beyond mere wealth. “Looks like 1kg of gold isn’t just wealth it’s a ticket to dreams getting bigger every decade!” commented another user.
Meanwhile, another participant offered a futuristic and humorous perspective: “In 2100, 1 KG gold may equal 10% market cap of CEAT tyres.”
The discussion reflects both the enduring appeal of gold as a hedge against inflation and the playful speculation among investors about its long-term purchasing power. While some view it as a safe investment, others caution about the euphoric market sentiment that often accompanies surging gold prices.
