Here is an example of someone pointing out that ‘golden touch’ based on Midas is misused in common usage today. Not sure if it is commonly used much anymore, but I remember it being very common in the 80s and 90s to describe someone who was successful at lots of different businesses.

Cheers, thanks for providing an example
