A Mexican drug lord was just caught with owning more than 38 diamond and gold guns when police raided his home after suspicious behavior.
The diamond and gold guns are not only encrusted with the drug lord's initials, but they are entirely made with gold and silver and range from normal handguns to more large-scale weaponry. The glitterized guns were also accompanied with Rolex and Cartier watches and over 75 magazines of bullets! Now that seems like a serious waste of money.
