In its externals, no, unless you can find in the Gospels where Jesus wore gold.

Perhaps not gold, but...

Now when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, a woman came up to him with an alabaster of precious ointment, and she poured it on his head, as he reclined at table. But when the disciples saw this, they were indignant, and said, "To what purpose is this waste? For this might have been sold for much and given to the poor."

But Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? She has done me a good turn. For the poor you will have always with you, but you do not always have me. For in pouring this ointment on my body, she has done it for my burial. Amen I say to you, wherever in the whole world the gospel is preached, this also that she has done shall be told in memory of her."

Matthew 26:6-13

The story of Mary Magdalen was, no doubt, used by Roger Mahoney to justify his $200 million monstrosity.

Either we're going to live like Christ in all things, or we're going to be like the young man who went away, sad, "because he had many possessions."
