SOLID gold? That thing must have weighed a ton.

The seat alone weighs 80 pounds, which is the only bit of info I was able to get.

I looked up some numbers and here is an off the cuff calculation:

A standard ceramic toilet weighs around 20 kg.

Ceramics used for toilets have a density around 4 g/cm^3.

Gold has a density around 20 g/cm^3.

Substitution and solving for weight yields a weight of around 100 kg (220 pounds) for the gold toilet.
