Well, based on 100 dust average per pack (if you dust every card) with the 100 gold cost of every pack and endlesstides calculations. You're gonna need 1,705,100 gold maximum.
I've spent THOUSANDS of dollars in this game and I'm still 900k away from a full golden collection.
The closest I've ever been was around 400-500k but I decided to stop wasting so much money into the game so I will only get further away every expansion.
(Numbers pulled from our own Collection metrics - not sure where others were going wrong. Discounting Adventures maybe? You need to include those since they must be crafted Golden, as they can only be purchased as normal cards.)
Now, to get any sort of figure in Gold or money, we need to convert this into packs. We'll do two scenarios - the 'average' pack, and the absolute worst pack (ie the impossible maximum amount of packs needed).
You would need:
3,177,600/100 = 31,776 packs (at an average of 100 Dust per pack, and under the assumption that you open no Golden cards); or 3,177,600/40 = 79,440 packs (in an impossible worst-case scenario of 4 commons and 1 rare in every pack)
So in order to have a complete Golden collection you would need to use at most 7,944,000 Gold, or 3,177,600 Gold in an average case.
What if you bought the packs with money? We'll assume you aren't using any deals, and work in USD, again because I'm lazy.
31,776 packs splits into 529 60 pack bundles, two 15 pack bundles and three 2 pack bundles (assuming you want to spend as little money as possible but somehow also want to get all the packs with money - just roll with it). 79,440 packs splits into 1,324 60 pack bundles exactly - how convenient!
So even in the average case, you need to spend over $37,000 to get every card Golden. In the absolute (impossible) worst-case scenario, you'd need to spend almost $93,000. Remember, of course, that these calculations run under the assumption that you never open any Golden cards to add to your collection, so even the average case is an inflated number.
But wait! There are 3 Golden cards missing from these calculations, because you cannot craft them! What are they?
Gelbin Mekkatorque - Available to those who bought packs during Hearthstone's Beta - Minimum Price: $2.99 Elite Tauren Chieftain - Available to Blizzcon 2013 ticket holders - Minimum Price: $49.99 Marin the Fox - Avialable to Blizzcon 2017 ticket holders - Minimum Price: $49.99
So at the very minimum, you need to spend ~$103 for a full Golden collection, even if you obtain the rest of the cards completely F2P.
If I had to guesstimate an actual number, I'd say an active Hearthstone player would probably still need to spend around $10,000 in order to get a full Golden collection. You need to play the game anyway, since there's an additional 266 Golden Basic cards to get by leveling up.
I'm sure someone could come up with infinitely more accurate numbers for money spent, but the Dust number is at least accurate. It'd require several more hours of work than I'm willing to put into this to calculate any sort of accurate average for pack opening that takes into account that you won't dust gold cards, but keep them, especially since duplicates come into play. Not to mention trying to figure out how many packs can be shaved off by just playing the game.
Oh well, there are more numbers out there now for people to look at.

That's why I had 9,600 Dust over the total, didn't account for those 3 restrictions.
Meaning it would be impossible for a new account to have a full golden collection.
Can you blieve that for the first two years in this game there was a good chunk of whales, lets say 1 in 500, that were genuinely crafting lots of golden cards, intending to do them all eventually. Fucking LOL.
The F2P 'take your lunch money, followed by your house' gaming model really was peaking a few years back. No wonder games investors can't give up on it, even though hte customer base is getting steadily wiser and more pissed off.
You'd got piece of shit games on mobile making 10x the money from their whales at the same time. Mobile Strike, Game of War, etc.
The world keeps turning an crooks continue to seperate fools from their money.
how much gold ,money or dust is needed for a full wild golden collection?
Right.
There are currently 558 Common Cards, 396 Rare Cards, 291 Epic Cards and 218 Legendary Cards.
Taking into account the cost of Creating a Golden Card you are going to need....
223,000 Dust for the Commons
316,000 Dust for the Rares
465,500 Dust for the Epics
And 697,600 Dust for the Legendaries
For a grand total of: 1,705,100 Dust.
That's a lot. As for the Gold I have no clue because Packs are random.
Sorry

This will answer your question https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZHma6JkJtI
The result is 1830$ for a full collection,including wild cards,but I don't think they include free packs and stuff
Take a good look at my collection https://www.hearthpwn.com/members/Bee/collection
I've spent THOUSANDS of dollars in this game and I'm still 900k away from a full golden collection.
The closest I've ever been was around 400-500k but I decided to stop wasting so much money into the game so I will only get further away every expansion.
So to answer your question.. I'd say 5000$ ++
Alright, Dust is the easiest to figure out.
In order to craft every card in Hearthstone in Gold (that you can), you need:
(400 * 1,328) + (800 * 964) + (1,600 * 626) + (3,200 * 273) = 3,177,600 Dust
(Numbers pulled from our own Collection metrics - not sure where others were going wrong. Discounting Adventures maybe? You need to include those since they must be crafted Golden, as they can only be purchased as normal cards.)
Now, to get any sort of figure in Gold or money, we need to convert this into packs. We'll do two scenarios - the 'average' pack, and the absolute worst pack (ie the impossible maximum amount of packs needed).
You would need:
3,177,600/100 = 31,776 packs (at an average of 100 Dust per pack, and under the assumption that you open no Golden cards); or
3,177,600/40 = 79,440 packs (in an impossible worst-case scenario of 4 commons and 1 rare in every pack)
So in order to have a complete Golden collection you would need to use at most 7,944,000 Gold, or 3,177,600 Gold in an average case.
What if you bought the packs with money? We'll assume you aren't using any deals, and work in USD, again because I'm lazy.
31,776 packs splits into 529 60 pack bundles, two 15 pack bundles and three 2 pack bundles (assuming you want to spend as little money as possible but somehow also want to get all the packs with money - just roll with it).
79,440 packs splits into 1,324 60 pack bundles exactly - how convenient!
(529 * $69.99) + (2 * $19.99) + (3 * $2.99) = $37,073.66
(1,324 * $69.99) = $92,666.76
So even in the average case, you need to spend over $37,000 to get every card Golden. In the absolute (impossible) worst-case scenario, you'd need to spend almost $93,000.

You can find me here! Good luck everyone!
Meaning it would be impossible for a new account to have a full golden collection.
You need a beta account. Rip me
But I play on NA, EU and Asia. So $111,000 + mega bucks going forward for new expacs.
Who needs a pension anyway!*
* I am kidding
.
Tine to break that credit cards out go bankrupt cause if u want golden ur gonna have to pay for it
is it possible to get a golden C'thun?
You need to craft him
I do know why you are even asking mate, i would personally burn my money before giving activision this ridiculous amount lol
i only craft the most played cards in wild in golden. see play forever
