An Indian textile magnate who made a fortune from his clothing empire is making sure the rest of the world knows about his success - by having a shirt made out of pure gold.

Although he left school without any qualifications Pankaj Parakh created a multi-million pound textile business in India.

And to celebrate his 45th birthday, he commissioned the solid gold shirt that weighs more than four kilos.

• Punkaj is heavily guarded everytime he wears the custom made gold shirt

According to local media the gold shirt has really got him noticed as he marched along the streets of his home in Yeola, 260 km from the city of Mumbai. He says he gets both admiring looks from women and envious looks from men.

Despite being made of gold the shirt has been so carefully made that it is as flexible as a normal shirt, he claims, and also just as comfortable because there is a thin cloth lining the inside.

• Another wealthy man Datta Phuge has also splashed out £14,000 on a solid gold shirt to make sure he's a 24 karat hit with women in central India
