That's like the CEO who has a $50,000 desk and teak wood filing cabinets, but hasn't done any actual work in 30 years...

I saw a similar suit of armour in the Armoury museum in Stockholm. The level of detail is incredible, and such a suit must've cost a fortune

It's probably pretty hard to snap your finger with this gauntlet.
