That's 8873 inches taller.

Each tower of the Golden Gate Bridge rises 746 feet above the water. That is 132 Tom Cruises, though the bridge is more photogenic than any of them.

Fun Fact

The bridge is not painted gold — it is International Orange, a color chosen because it complements the natural surroundings and is visible in San Francisco fog.
