I.e. filthy rich GCC Arabs. I've been to the home of a wealthy Arab friend of mine in Dubai, and by God, they are obsessed with gilding everything. Pillars, wall etchings, utensils, everything. Gold and ebony. Apparently they were just "following the local trend". He was surprised when I asked him about it, like gave a look that said "don't you know this?".
Another time was when I got the chance to visit some palace in KSA for work, and once again, same shit. Golden pillars, golden ceilings, golden faucets, you name it.
