TikTok Influencer Flaunts “World’s Most Expensive” Gold Labubu Toy, Sparking Online Laughter
TikTok creator “The Jungle Pups” claimed ownership of a unique £20,000, 24-karat gold Labubu figurine, betting on its rising value. Her viral video sparked skepticism over authenticity. She showcased magnet tests and a “gold detector,” and later revealed rare emerald, diamond, and pink diamond variants to bolster her claims. However, attempts to verify these gemstones with a suspicious “gem detector,” which beeped like a common phone ringtone, fueled online mockery and disbelief. Her efforts highlighted the blend of digital spectacle, luxury culture, and satirical content.
