That's supposed to be a house? It looks like a fancy office building. Oh well, I guess the point is, "Look at my weird looking house... it costs more than yours".![]()
If you think school is hard, try being stupid.
When you have that much money you don't worry about much of anything, including maintaining your house. There will inevitably be a massive staff to take care of everything.
Even still, it's just too damn big and too damn much.
I've heard lots of stories about billionaires who live pretty modestly and donate a lot of money (Warren Buffett is the first one that comes to mind) so I don't know how philanthropic this particular family is.
But again, that "house" is just too much.
The "snow room" made me lol.

Enh, the money's been spent already. People got paid to build that silly-ass building. Now just wait until the family dynasty peters out and it's turned into a tourist attraction/hotel.![]()
The design is stupid, not very functional, and ridiculously excessive. I am loving some of the interior decorating though, but it has a very "hotel" feel to it. If I had billions to spend on a house, you could be damn sure I wouldn't have one like this built.
J.R. Simplot is another modest billionaire! He owns a shitload of farms and processing plants and cattle ranches in the US but he wears jeans, a cowboy hat, and drives a cheap American car.I like that.
At least kick it Bill and Melinda gates style and fork over some hefty donations. Come on...
That has got to be totally repulsive to the people that live near it. Six levels of parking alone. The rest looks like some of the bigger cruise ships I've seen.
I wonder how their neighbors feel about their extravagance? Some apartments in Mumbai:

Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!



more like holy crap i want to dance for that guy a networth of 43 billion!
^^^ Good point!!![]()



^^ The whole time I was thinking, "I want HIM in VIP, dammit!"
But seriously. It just screams Nouveau Riche.
Don't people have better things to spend their money on?
I wouldn't. I've danced for some guys who were uber-rich and they're the hardest to pry money from, sometimes. For some reason they think that because they HAVE the money to spend and are spending time with you, you should be grateful and want to do it all for free.
Especially the rich guys who don't donate/contribute otherwise to society. It's easier to take money from a bank safe.
That was the ugliest house I've seen in a while. Further proof that just because you have money doesn't mean you have taste. Ick.
I honestly feel bad for anyone that ostensibly needs something that extravagant and ostentatious.
This "house" is a classic example of PCS...Penile Compensation Syndrome.
Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.

^ LOL!!!
Truth!
Imagine how much clean water, medical treatment, housing, etc. a small fraction of that money could have purchased.
Then again, one would hope that with *that* much money, they were already donating plenty.
Its a fucking ugly house, couldnt they have spent a bit less and got something nicer, lol?





While it's freaking goddamn ugly, from an engineers standpoint that's pretty brilliant design. Can you imagine the structuring it took?

Apparently these people have never seen an American horror movie, or they would know that creepy killers always hang out in huge mansions, where they subsequently chase and stalk their prey from room to room. Fung Shui style aside, Freddy Kruger still is going to done bust into their nightmares......
(hehe just kidding. But I think that house is rediculous. Perhaps instead of building a billion dollar home they could have built a 500 million dollar one and donated the rest to charity.)
^^^Nope, too focussed on their sense of fugly style lol.
How beautiful can that home be if, when you look out the windows you see all of your neighbors living in hovels with barely enough clean water and food to live??
Maybe they have no windows. Must be nice to live forever in fantasy.
Cloverfield is going to smash it...........:/
^^^Iris, you should change your name to 'Great Tits.'Very nice.



u guys have to realize with all these "he should have donated money instead" post people that wealthy already donate LARGE amounts of money each year, because of tax right offs.
id so get a crazy house if i had that kind of money. id probably get a few actually.
just being honest!





I have a friend with billions who has a lot of nice things and people ask him why he doesn't donate the money he spent on his Lambo and shit on charity. And he spends MORE than that... but nobody even thinks to ask that maybe he does donate to charity AND feels he deserves a Lambo for all his hard work. But hey, I don't know this man personally, but you never know what they secretly donate to.
I've known quite a few rich people who didn't like to admit they donated to charity and would rather appear rich egocentric bastards than have anyone know of their good deeds.
