Gold’s phenomenal price rise has garnered investor attention worldwide. Just in a year, the yellow metal’s price has risen by 64%, from Rs 75,319/10g spot price on MCX on October 11, 2024, to Rs 1,23,377 on October 13, 2025. When a metal delivers such large returns, discussions over it are bound to happen, online and offline. From ordinary folks to the topmost businesspersons, all have been discussing gold prices in one way or another. And this time a tweet from Harsh Goenka, Chairman - RPG Enterprise, is going viral.
Harsh Goenka writes: 1 kg gold= Maruti 800
In the tweet on X (formerly Twitter), he has compared how 1 kg of gold was worth a Maruti 800 car in the year 1990, and at present, for the same weight of gold, one can buy a Land Rover car. He predicts the gold price in the next couple of decades will rise to a level where one would buy a Rolls Royce car and a private jet in exchange for 1 kg of gold.
(Note: We haven’t checked historical gold prices in terms of claims made in the tweet)
In his viral tweet, Goenka gives a chart where he shows that in 1990, the price of 1 kg gold was equal to 1 Maruti car; in the year 2000, its price became equal to the price of a Maruti Esteem car. Goenka wrote that in 2005, one could buy a Maruti Innova car for 1 kg of gold.
Harsh Goenka compares 1 kg gold price of 2010 with Fortuner car rate
Writing about how the gold price took a leap from there, Goenka says that in 2010, 1 kg of gold was enough to help one buy a Fortuner car. He wrote that by the Year 2019, the 1 kg gold rate increased to a point where it would be equal to the price of a BMW car.
Harsh Goenka writes 1 kg gold is equal to Land Rover car’s rate
As the gold price has increased to around Rs 1.24 crore/kg at present, Goenka writes that now, it is worth buying a Land Rover car.
As per Carwale.com, the Land Rover car comes in the range of Rs 63.40 lakh to Rs 2.3 crore.
Harsh Goenka predicts 1 kg gold can help one buy Rolls-Royce car, private jet
The businessman predicts gold’s price to rise by the year 2030 to a level where one could buy a Rolls-Royce car. As per CarDekho.com, the starting price of a Rolls-Royce car at present is Rs 7.50 crore.
Goenka further writes that the gold rate by 2040 will soar to the price of a private jet.
Other gold memes also grabbed attention
A user named Brian Tycango presents a gold rate chart, showing a price rise from the year 2017 to now. He writes that the graph doesn't present the price rise of a Bitcoin or an altcoin, but of gold.
“This isn’t bitcoin, an altcoin or a meme stock. It’s #gold.”
A user named Vasistha in his tweet on X compares the people who bought gold and who missed the opportunity.
“People who Bought GOLD ->> Common Increase More !
Will hit 1.5Lakh per 10g soon.
- People who did not buy GOLD and kept dreaming ->>
Gold will drop by 40-50%. Gold will go back to stone age era prices.”

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
Lesson: Keep the 1kg gold- in 2030 it may equal a Rolls Royce car and in 2040 a private jet🛩️! 😀
