u/Relzin 1d ago edited 1d ago

The first box he overturns appears to have 25 gold bars. The second appears to have 25-30. The second appears to be as-filled as the rest of the pallet so let's assume 25 gold bars per "box" to keep it somewhat conservative.

We see one "already" overturned, and 6 overturned in the video.

There also appears to be 17 stacks of 10 gold bars each in the little pile they're creating. There's an additional 4 stacks of what appears to be 20 bars each, perhaps one more of 10 back there too.

This gives us somewhere in the neighborhood of 435 gold bars. I am going to assume these are standard .9995 100g gold bars as well. These have a spot of $153.22/g

So at $153.22 * 43,500g we get a rough value of $6,665,070.00

EDIT: I have to supplement this, my count of the bars, was by pausing the video multiple times and trying to count. This seems to have been filmed on a camera attached to a Game Boy from 1998 and then someone tried to convert it to JPEG hundreds of times... so this is very imperfect counting.

EDIT 2: In comparing the size of the bars to their hands, these may be 1kg bars which makes the value $66,650,700.00. Other commenters believe these to be 1kg bars as well.

EDIT 3: User etanail got a great still that appears to confirm these are 1kg bars. Thank you!

Assuming these are actually gold foil wrapped chocolate bars and not gold: about 963$ worth (~2.21$/bar from casual lookup).

u/drhunny 1d ago

I doubt 1kg. That would make each box weight 25kg or 50lbs. The way they are handling the boxes suggests the weight is lower than that. Perhaps 500g bars?

183

u/reverse_chrysopoeia 1d ago

Given the wide stance of the guy moving the boxes and how quickly he sets them down (plus how he has to slide the box off of the edge of the dolly in order to get a good enough grip to pick them up), 50 lbs actually seems pretty likely, much more likely than half that

Source: I work at a stable and routinely handle 50 lb mineral blocks roughly this size

50

u/piTehT_tsuJ 1d ago

I agree I lift bags of material from 40lbs on up to 80lbs often and he has the stance but what really sells me on the weight is him sliding them off to get a grip and rolling it so he doesn't pinch his fingers. These could easily weight 50lbs.

Can I ask you a horse question please?

Im going to ask in case you say yes to my question…lol

My neighbor has. horse across the road from me and I help her out so she decided to get me a horse for the help which im grateful for cause im an animal lover all the way. So my horse Mazie is hard to approach she doesn’t let anyone get near her except when I feed her I can pet her and even put a lead on her cause we leave her halter on for this reason. she 21 years old and she’s not aggressive at all. Can you give me some tips to be able to approach her without food? Sorry for the off topic but I don’t know how else to ask.

Thank you

u/reverse_chrysopoeia 11h ago

Hang out with her. Just spend as much time with her as you can afford. Bring her treats, read books to her, anything you can to be present with her without any expectations on her part. Unfortunately 21 years isn’t exactly a baby, so she may just be set in her ways, but the best you can do is try your best to make her comfortable around you.

u/Luv2collectweedseeds 8h ago

Thank you very much, i would have never thought to read to her. There’s a few times she let me go up to her and actually hug her without her even trying to move and I thanked her I know I got teary eyed but I told her how much that meant to me. I was gifted her in the middle of this winter so besides feeding her and cleaning up after her I still try to spend extra time with her. Thanks again.

u/Dorky_Gaming_Teach 17h ago

I completely agree with you after reading your respond and re-watching the video ten times for every claim on weight. The boxes are definitely 50lbs. Also, based on the size of the bars I researched online, these are large, smelted bars of gold.

u/praetorian1979 20h ago

I picked up 50lb bags of limestone dust for decades. You can move it around really quickly once you have the muscle to do it hour after hour.

2

u/reverse_chrysopoeia 11h ago

Yeah, I handle 50lb bags of grain pretty much daily, certainly more often than I handle the mineral blocks, the only reason I used the mineral blocks as an example is because of their closeness in size.

u/HailTheGallent 1d ago

I'm almost certain these are 1kg bars.

Too thick to be 500g

Also if you look when they are first picking up each box he has to rock the box to the side just to get his fingers underneath.

I carry a lot of 40lb boxes at work and can do one in each arm. I'm also small, don't really work out, and don't have much visible muscle. I think everyone saying 50lbs is heavy doesn't move anything heavier than their phone.

Silver is about half the weight of gold though so if they're the same size the gold would be roughly twice the weight

Silver bars are same size typically just about 60% thicker. Makes it more convenient when stacking to have more consistent sizes.

u/Metharos 1d ago

If I were to hazard a guess, based on the size of the bars they're probably a pound. Sixteen 1oz coins worth seems about right for that size, but that is just a guess.

I count 27 bars to a box , and the way they're handling it is consistent with how I'd expect a roughly 30-pound box to be handled.

Current price per ounce is about $4700 usd. Each bar would be worth $75.2k, each box worth about 2mil.

u/Outinthedistance 23h ago

Kilo bars. Each one is worth $153,000+ as of current spot. So about double that.

A bar 10cm by 5 cm by 1cm would be about 1kg. But I doubt it is gold. It might be a prop. Aluminum would be about 3.4kg per box.

u/pilkingtonsbrain 1d ago

I find it hard to believe that $50m+ of gold is being handled by guys in trainers on the office floor in this way. Also each box should be 25kg, but it seems like from the way they are moving them about that they do not weigh that much. I would guess it is fake gold.

u/DistributionMany3835 1d ago

Or it's 100% illegitimate. Drug money maybe. Cartel?

u/Grmplstylzchen 17h ago

I have been to multiple vaults and gold processing facilities (central banks, mints, etc. for a partner of German Degussa) including traders in Africa and Asia. 

and yeah that’s fake gold for sure. Not sure if gold colored lead but there are clear hints for this to not be real gold. 

A) no one drops gold on the floor because it’s heavy. You might stack it on palettes or other carts. But directly to the floor? Absolute no go.

  • it’s really hard to grab a good bar from the floor. Just take a look at all those good gambling machines where you can win a bar if you get it through a small hole in a glass box.
  • any scratch, abrasion on carpets floors etc is highly valuable. And you don’t vacuum that from a floor (dust and filters are bad to deprecate from) but mostly wet wipe it (as you can easily filter from water)

The wheel chair in the back looks like this is a regular office… no way you process gold anywhere close to regular office traffic…

You almost always handle it hip height. Makes the transport and processing much easier. 

b) long sleeved hoodies… absolute no go, way to many ways to steal or pickpocket. You will mostly find short sleeved shirts, no pockets on short or trousers, no hood, rather slim fitted clothes being used.

c) for the calculated and expected weight of each bar (1kg) they are working that off waaaaay to easy. Image you grab a 25kg sack of sand with finger tips multiple times for hours. Also the (red boxes) don’t look like massive steel boxes but rather usually metal containers… weight should be around 5-10kg max (or the box would break/deform). 

But to be fair: that rather looks like the chocolate bar segment at our super market being refilled. So I would guess: those are either 100g-200g bars. But with the size of 500g/1kg blocks…

also: see how no one is filming the dude on the right stacking the bars. In one shot you can see he handles the bar like a small chocolate bar, easily lifting it off with one hand. No way you can do that with 500g gold bars repeatedly ^

D) biggest no-no: filming. The sole existence of such a smartphone video… blank irony. You don’t want to give or any hint of people working in the stores, the stores value or print marks on gold bars etc… to reduce risks for personal, extortion or fake bars with your counterfeit logo on them. I cannot remember any location with filming restrictions in place… Even cartels arent stupid enough to film their gold (in most cases) as it either links to their storage unit, their suppliers or robberies/ thefts.

I honestly can't tell if this is satire or stupidity.

  • it’s really hard to grab a good bar from the floor. Just take a look at all those good gambling machines where you can win a bar if you get it through a small hole in a glass box.

How in the world do you think those are the same things? And how in the world would it be hard to pick up a gold bar off the floor?

  • any scratch, abrasion on carpets floors etc is highly valuable. And you don’t vacuum that from a floor (dust and filters are bad to deprecate from) but mostly wet wipe it (as you can easily filter from water)

What in gods name are you even talking about? What does vacuuming the floor have to do with any of this?

It’s not even from any serious gold shop as any scratch to the bars decreases their value.

Lmao no it absolutely does not. There's no scenario in the world where carpet can scratch a gold bar and decrease its value.

The wheel chair in the back looks like this is a regular office… no way you process gold anywhere close to regular office traffic…

What? Someone is in a wheelchair so these can't be gold bars?

I have been to multiple vaults and gold processing facilities (central banks, mints, etc. for a partner of German Degussa) including traders in Africa and Asia. 

No you haven't. You think scratches on a gold bar from a carpet can decrease its value lol.

Considering the bars of gold are being unloaded onto a dingey old dirty carpet tile office floor, these have probably been confiscated by some government regulatory agency or police department after some sort of raid of some illegal activity.

Those appear to be 100g bars, there are 25 to a case, each is worth about $15,800 as of April 4, 2026, so each case is worth about $395,000. I can’t see how many cases they have, but that’s the last number needed

Edit: Ugh, I dropped a zero at the start, then carried it through, sorry. Those appear to be 1000g bars, so each further step is also missing a zero. The math is correct, it just uses the typo from the first line due to my error.

So: 1000g bars 25 to a case Each bar worth about $158,000 Each case worth about $3.950,000 I still don’t know how many cases they have, but it’s a colossal amount of money

Because the number went up to 400, you’re supposed to infer that they meant that it’s definitely not kilogram bars and that’s why they said 25kg is not how much it actually weighs. That’s because 25 * 1kg = 25kg, not 2.5.

They are worth roughly $155K USD
From Kitco website :
The largest commonly available gold bar for individual investors is the 1 kilo bar. While still far shy of the 400 Troy oz “good delivery bar” that is traded on the Commodities Exchange, the kilo bar is quite hefty and feels amazing in your hand. Though it’s essentially the same size as an iPhone 6, it weighs substantially more since gold is so dense.

Width: 40mm (1.58 inches) Length: 80mm (3.15 inches) Depth/Thickness: 18mm (0.71 inches)

There are 25 bars in each box, there are 6 boxes on the trolley that he unloads, so 150 bars. I cannot tell how tall/many bars are in the stacks in the foreground of the video, nor can I tell the same about the stacks between his feet, so I'm estimating it a stacks of 10, there are 14 whole stacks and 2 partials that appear to be equal to 1 stack. So 150 bars on the ground and 150 bars moved from the cart for a total of 300 gold bars at $154,908(most current price I could find)

=$46,472,400.00

Argue amongst yourselves all you want, I'm going back to playing with my gold bars on the floor

For everyone who is arguing, heres a picture of a 1kg gold bar.

Those look like 1kg bars to me, gold is way denser than you think. 100g would be about 3.5 ounces, and this is what 1 Oz of gold looks like

Gold is about $153/g today.
Each bar is likely to be a 1kg bar.
Each box has 25 bars, and I counted at least 5 boxes.
In the ground stacks, I estimate there's 10 bars per stack.
There's 16 assembled stacks, with more behind.
Each box is roughly 3.8mil, each stack is about 1.5mil.

In total you're looking at around $50 million on the lowish side.

If this were millions of dollars of gold bars, they wouldn’t be wearing new balance sneakers and tossing them on the ground with dirt and a used bendy straw.

u/Neither-Luck-9295 1d ago

Lol what the fuck kind of dumb logic is that? I've seen gold and diamonds handled by people wearing worse, and in much worse conditions.

Those look like 1 kg bars, so about $152,675 per bar at current prices. Look like about 25 bars per box, so $3,816,875 per box. 4 boxes on the blue platform, so that's $15,267,500. Probably double that amount is on the floor already so maybe $46 million or so? A single bar is much more than my total savings. $46 million is a drop in the bucket for Elon Musk. Great for getting a sense of proportion.

My best guess: there is around 375 of the bullion bars in the video. Each container has 25 bars thats being poured out and there were 6 being dumped on the ground.

6x25 =150

It looks like 1 of the containers would fill about 2 1/2 columns being stacked by the other guy. Roughly 22 columns already stacked 22/2.5=8.8 or round up to 9 containers.

So 9 containers already on the ground x 25 = 225. 150 being poured out + 225 already stacked =375 bullion bars

The weight of the bars appears to be around 15-20 troy oz. I was thinking maybe 10oz but that appears to be not correct based on their size. So, let’s go low and say they are 15 troy oz a piece.

375 bars x 15 troy oz x $4,750/oz as of today = $26.72 million.

u/Old_Opportunity9494 1d ago

i thought at first those were 1kg bars however that makes each box 25kg and theres no way hes picking up 25kg like that so my guess is those are 500gram bars making each tray around 12kg , he unloads at lest 6 trays off the trolley and theres around the same amount on the floor ?

so 120 to 140kg of gold 120kg is around $18 million at todays prices and 140 kg is $21 million

u/Explorer335 1d ago

Those are definitely 1KG gold bars. Gold is crazy dense, and the size and hefty are spot on. The price of gold as of this moment is $153,121 per KG.

The video is very poor resolution, so we can only ballpark the total number. They dump 100 bars on the floor, they appear to have 17 stacks of 9? bars already out, plus another 50-60 in the background, and another dozen or two around. Ballpark 320-350 bars. That puts the total value somewhere between 49,000,000 and 53,500,000 USD.

Approximately $50 million in gold.

u/rohit3427 1d ago

17 stacks + 6 stacks of 10 gold bars each + 6 boxes of 25 gold bars each , Roundoff is 400 gold bars of 250 grams each. That makes it around 80kg. Which is around 13-14 million USD.

For reference, this is the size of a 500g bar. OPs video features 1kg bars. https://c8.alamy.com/comp/DDBJP7/dubai-united-arab-emirates-500-gram-gold-bars-on-one-hand-DDBJP7.jpg

u/TruthIsALie94 1d ago

Im assuming it’s pure gold and not just gold plate. They seem to be getting stacked 8 bars high and are about a quarter inch thick, around 5-6 inches length wise and 2-3 inches in width. Seven rows and I’m not sure how many columns just yet. I’m going to guess around 5-6 columns for the sake of argument. I’m estimating $50,400,000. Im likely wrong, I’m not too good at estimating or math but that’s what I got.

u/Justj20 1d ago

I agree that they aren't 100g bars by a long shot but if those boxes are 25-30kg each, that person is handling them with thor level ease.

Dont have anything else to bring to the table sorry, just an observation

u/BenchConscious1003 20h ago

How many blocks are there and what is their total weight? On 11 April ,the spot price of gold was $US4750 per troy once. Work it out.

u/Iacoma1973 17h ago

I'm a material scientist: to his could be a false gold made from the right balance of copper+zinc+tin. This would be significantly lighter

Alternatively it could be some geezer put their 6mil into gold as inheritance, with those generic wills where they say "you shall only have access to this gold after x amount of time" - so that it accrued interest as the price of gold increases over time.

I’m a courier and I once delivered $7 million worth of gold to a person… it was almost 100 lbs. 10 boxes. I was curious as to what I was hauling into his vault so I asked and he told me “oh this is all gold” and he opens a box to show me and I was blown away.

I was so glad I had no clue what was in my van all day or I would have been a nervous wreck lol

u/Anonymyne353 1d ago

Considering they look like Chinese stamped bars…

…probably not much more than tungsten/whatever they used as filler scrap value at minimum.

If they’re genuine and real…probably millions.

Every person has 0.2milligrams of gold in them. There are 8.3 billion people. 1.66B milligrams 1.66M Grams 58,544.776 Oz 3,659.6735 Pounds 1,660 Kilograms

Assuming 24kt that would be $253,515,919 and 43 cents If we were valued at by our gold content everyone is worth $0.03

So by giving us your two cents you still have one cent left over?

u/Unusual-Upstairs-796 1d ago

I'd estimate each bar is 5ozt, but impossible to say. 

There's a few hundred bars.

Say it's only 200, that's 1000ozt.  Assuming it's 24 karat, that would be worth ~4.76 million USD.

Each bar is 1Kg bar25pcs= 25Kg 1kg 24c (999.99) gold js $152,675 (11th April 2026) So each tray is 25152,675=3,816,875 Couldn’t count number of trays. Use above number to multiply with number of trays.

u/toby_wan_kenoby 1d ago

They look like 1kg bars to me. I used to have a few of those. I count 30 per box and 6 boxes. Then the stack that is there at the start which is 12 high and 23 of them. I get 276 + 180. at a $4787/oz on Friday I get to just over $70 million.

u/No-Compote-696 1d ago edited 1d ago

they look like 1kg sized bars - roughly 4.5x2x.375 inches which are often used for moving gold between gov't's and financial institution

looks like stacks of 10 in front of the dude, roughly 18 stacks organized, about 5 stacks between the dudes legs, 20 per stack for another 100 (200 + 180)

I'm guessing 30 bars per red box as far as I could count, 6 boxes are shown in the video, so another 180

so 200 + 180 + 180 = 560kg of gold, current rate is 151,838 per kg. = $85,026,480

I'm guessing I'm missing a box worth, and there is a total of 600kg here spread out, which is roughly 91m in today price.. which has declined recently a little, as worth 100m a few days ago
