    Supposedly he gets an award every year from AGV. He has it written in his contract.
    Looks wicked, I bet when one of those pops up on ebay in 20 years time it'll be worth a bit

    January 6, 2003 - AGV USA reported today that during the annual "Golden Helmet" ceremony in Bologna , Italy, AGV Helmets awarded Valentino Rossi, current World MotoGP Champion and recent 125cc, 250cc and 500cc World Champion, with the company's new, state-of-the-art "Ti-Tech" helmet which had been specially designed for the conquering leader in 24K gold, diamonds and platinum.

    The "Ti-Tech" masterpiece appointed for Rossi was one hundred percent handmade in 24K gold (1.5 millimeters of thickness throughout the shape) with the front and rear air extractors in one hundred percent platinum, with the AGV logo set in diamonds and a very special stone called "agata." Along with AGV helmet stylists, Italian goldsmith masters Selene Gioelli assisted in developing the three-dimensional project and dedicated more than three hundred and fifty manufacturing hours to reproduce the helmet shape as a single crown of jewelry. While no official estimates have been issued, initial estimates value the trophy helmet at approximately $150,000 and the helmet has been secured in a vault off-site for safekeeping.
