Truly, when you just start to think that the world simply cannot get anymore bizarre, William Shatner sells his kidney stone for $25,000.
In something this odd, this unusual, it should come as no surprise that the buyer is the infamous GoldenPalaceCasino, owner of so many random objects that it’s starting to get a bit ridiculous.
“This is a bold new addition to our fleet,” GoldenPalace.com Chief Executive Officer Richard Rowe said in a statement.
The real kicker is this: $25k was the price that Shatner negotiated up to. Apparently he believed his kidney stone was worth more than the $15k originally offered.
Despite its oddity, the story does have a good, moral note: all money will be donated to charity.
The stone was so big, Shatner said, “you’d want to wear it on your finger.”
Yep.
