The Midas touch is a legendary ability to turn everything one touches into gold. It comes from the Greek myth of King Midas. Think of it as instant wealth creation. Imagine turning ordinary objects into gold simply by touching them. Unlike financial misfortune, the Midas touch implies consistent and effortless success in financial matters. It's often used metaphorically to describe someone who is exceptionally successful in business or investments. However, in the original myth, it was a curse.
