Yuck.

And if you were going to build something so ostentatious, why would you build it somewhere that's hot, humid, and experiences regular hurricanes?

Seriously! Personally I would want my place somewhere in Colorado. Love the mountains and the weather in the summer is nice.

Honestly for that amount of cash I'd buy an abandoned Titan missile silo and kit that out...with cash to spare for whatever the hell I want. And no one could stop me.

The house is located in FL. so NO!

if I had that Kind of money and was to buy something outrageous I'd buy this:

The Air Station was established in 1942 as Naval Air Station Santa Ana, a base for airship operations in support of the United States Navy's coastal patrol efforts during World War II. NAS Santa Ana was decommissioned in 1949. In 1951, the facility was reactivated as Marine Corps Air Station Santa Ana to support the Korean War. It was the country's first air facility developed solely for helicopter operations. It was renamed Marine Corps Air Station Tustin in 1970.

I'd fill it with cars, build my dream garage and live in a winnebago inside of it!

I dont understand the purpose of expensive (really really expensive) property in FL if its not right on the beach. That state has some incredible coastline. I'd rather have a smaller place with sandy white beaches than a mcmansion on a swamp.

This looks like a very ugly house. I can't imagine spending $75 million on a house even if I was a billionaire, unless it was some kind of historically significant existing structure.



EDIT:

Mukesh Ambani in India is building a $1 billion house the size of a 60-story office building. 168 car garage, in-house service/maintenance center, 50 seat theater, three helipads, health club, etc etc etc.

that money isn't always going to be there, like the guy who was building that house found out. the hard way, at that. life in excess is why we are in this s*** hole of a problem right now.

Buying the tub wouldn't be that easy. And it only fits three I think. But, if EVERY member of NICO were to contribute about $5 we could buy the tub (assuming my estimate on how many members this site has is accurate).
