* In Disney's ''WesternAnimation/AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves'', the band of thieves is after a [[{{MacGuffin}} legendary artifact]], the "Hand of Midas" which can turn things to gold. The villain Saluk is turned to gold when Aladdin's father tosses the artifact to him and he catches it barehanded. When escaping the ruins, he is also forced to leave behind his turned-to-gold cape because the weight was slowing him down. Eventually, he decides the hand was not the ultimate treasure he truly wanted, and throws it into the ocean...but not before it lands in the boat of the other thieves first, turning it to gold and causing it to sink. Fortunately, it does not affect water.

* Referenced in the first ''VideoGame/TombRaiderI'' game in "Palace Midas", where turning bars of lead into gold is the level's central puzzle. Although the game doesn't allow the player to [[CombinatorialExplosion turn other inventory items to gold]], they ''can'' [[ShmuckBait climb on top of Midas's hand]] and watch Lara herself be turned to gold. [[NonstandardGameOver Oops!]]

* ''Fanfic/EverythingTurnsToGold'': Scott occasionally turns random things to gold just by touching them, including a blanket, his sword, and the rope used to tie up his hands. Unfortunately, this ability also carries over to [[TakenForGranite his own body]] [[spoiler:and those of his friends, but turns out to be ''incredibly'' effective against those under Exor's control, like Xornoth]]. To note, the fic is TitledAfterTheSong "Gold" by Music/ImagineDragons (see the Music folder below).
