Infamous for guessing the winner of the past World Cups, the psychic octopus Paul has been immortalized in a 22-karat gold figurine.

From Kolkata, India’s Shree Ganesh Jewelry designers comes this luxurious figure that was recently presented at the 2010 India International Jewelery Show.

Made entirely of 22-karat gold, Paul the Octopus weighs in at 7.27 pounds and is being valued at around $171,650.   Wow, I bet Paul wished he was still a trim 7 pounds.
