Homonym: Midas Touch (Wealth)
The term "Midas Touch" refers to the legendary ability of King Midas from Greek mythology to turn everything he touched into gold. This story illustrates the idea that great wealth can come with unexpected consequences. While it sounds appealing to have such a power, Midas soon realized that his gift made it impossible to enjoy food, drink, or even touch loved ones without turning them into gold.
In modern usage, having the "Midas Touch" describes someone who is exceptionally successful in their endeavors, particularly in business or investments. People with this quality seem to effortlessly create wealth or achieve their goals, much like Midas did, but without the tragic drawbacks of his story.
