The Midas touch is an expression meaning that everything someone touches is profitable. King Midas was given the power to convert everything he touched into gold, which backfired on him when his daughter touched him and was turned into a goldn statue.

It comes from a story about a king named Midas. He wished that everything he touched turned into gold. He (accidently) turned his daughter into gold when he hugged her, then he clearly regretted his decision. So the "midas touch" is actually a good thing.

King Midas was a mythical character, and everything he touched turned to gold. When it is said about somebody, it means that everything he enters into goes very well for him. Unfortunately for King Midas, when he touched his food it became gold, therefor inedible.
