You think it must be really nice to live in that level of luxury. I understand most getbigger's are accustomed to it.
But after awhile it has to get boring. It becomes the new normal. I mean if you live in a mansion like that where do you go when you need a break? You're not going to go stay at a Ritz and be impressed. When this is your life what else is there to do? Workout? Read? Mountains of coke? Whores?

No one needs all of this crap and those guys know best themselves. I mean, when would you even have the time to use all this stuff? The only meaning of having it is that you can tell someone else that you have it :D
I remember watching a podcast with a former german hedgefund-billionaire (who was even on the FBI's most-wanted list and ended up in jail) a while ago, where he illustrated his life in the "heydays", and he said he had bought a palace in Marbella from the Saudi royal family for like 200 million dollars and actually spent 1 (one!) single night total in it, plus he had two private jets, whereby he had never taken one single flight with one of them and like 2-3 with the other one. In the end his 1000 "best friends" were playing with his expensive toys all day long, while he was working for 20 and sleeping for 4 hours every day. :D

To the rich all this extra “stuff” is like owning extra T-shirts to us. It doesn’t matter if we never make use of them, throw or give them away,or wear a new mask everyday. We have it.

It‘s an investment. BTW I‘d love to go and take a dump in one of them bathrooms one day. I bet the toilets even come with an automatic ball tickler or a prostate massage machine. No homo

Yup. Apparently he lives on the golf course too so there’s literally no travel time.
I enjoy his 11am family time and that he picks up his kids from school at 2. Do you think at 11 he’s hanging out with Donnie and that side of the family?

Men usually buy too much house because their woman demands it. Then she gets it after the divorce.

Exactly my thoughts.
I lived in a 7-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 2-kitchen, house for quite some time. I didn't need ANY of that extra space, and literally spent 90% of my time in one room.
That's when I decided to leave.
While I do prefer living in a HOUSE over an apartment, and like that my house is sort of on a private drive, I don't want any additional space.
You couldn't pay me to live in that house.
As you said - I think it would have a way of diminishing from other experiences.
-

Snack at 8 during golf.
Power golf.
-
Amazing house but the interior decorations are atrocious.
Looks more like a palace than a house.
I would not live in something like that, but it would be nice to have that piece of land.

The classic line from Fight Club —> the things you own, end up owning you.

Kate Mara in Marky’s Shooter flick is one of the hottest women Fortress has ever seen.

That’s all I’ve got.

That seems like an odd arrangement for a house. Was it converted from 2 houses to 1 house or some other structure?

Every once in a while my wife and I would go to Church in Beverly Hills when we would spend the weekend at her Aunts house in the Hollywood Hills. On two occasions there was Mark Walburg helping out with ushering duties

Sounds like epic jealousy on your part.
-

That's good you asked - I should clarify:
One of the rooms was a walk-in closet that was big enough to fit a bed.
It has no window, so it couldn't be classified as a "bedroom"...but it was definitely big enough to comfortably fit a bed in it.
Otherwise it was a master bedroom upstairs and two normal sized bedrooms [normal setup]. The main floor was a kitchen, dining room, and living room. And the downstairs was two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a computer lab. Each floor had its own bathroom, and there was a sauna in the basement, and hot tub on the back deck.
And it didn't make me happy.
Moving into a smaller place and making money off my money made me happy. So while I will say money is a factor in happiness, to me it's just about security, rather than material wealth and shiny things.
I live like a pauper now, but I don't think I would be happier living in a bigger place.
My current house is a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom...but I much prefer it.
I'm still miserable though...but that has more to do with Canada becoming a communist country than anything else.
That's my car in the driveway, before I gave it to my kids' mom:
-
^ See that basement window/room on the right side?
I spent 90% of my wake time in their working on my website/YouTube.
That's when I realized: WTF am I even doing there?
-
Surprisingly the HOA and property tax bill on it are only a little bit under $100,000 a year (in line with the 9 mill -ish he paid for it in 2009), I was expecting it to be much higher. Granted the upkeep probably adds another few $100,000 to the yearly bill.

The difference is that an asset like a Mansion costs a lot of money to maintain in addition to property taxes. There’s a whole market in Hollywood for celebrities who buy a big house and then fall off and have to sell to the next one hit wonder.
A lot of the spending among celebrities is also driven by the lawyers trying to get a piece of the action when the transactions take place.

Always comes across like the stereotypical super-insecure overcompensating douchebag manlet, no hate ;D (trying super-hard to act like a tough guy, while everyone is just laughing at him behind his back)

Again you need to compare their income to normal people. Let's say the yearly up keep on this place is only a million. That may seem like a lot, but its not if your income stream is 30 million. No different than a guy who makes 50k and spends $1600 a year on maintaining his home.
Do you have recent examples of these house flip celebrities? Do they go from mansions to slightly more normal homes?
I know years ago it wasn't uncommon for these people to.live above their means, Nic Cage is a more recent example and I think Depp within the last 10 years had issues but I think that was also to appear broke for a divorce.
Wahlberg bought this for $8.5 and is trying to sell it for $80. Even if he sold it for $40 it would seem he did okay...

yes he loves to post his boxing skills to look like a big tough guy. utter pr-ck

The thing is for most actors, athletes and entertainers, the outsized income stream doesn’t last for very long but they maintain the same spending habits and end up bankrupt. MC Hammer is one that comes to mind.
https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/mc-hammer-spent-his-70-million-fortune-statues-himself-pool-shaped-like-his-iconic-pants-21-horses.html/
MC Hammer was $13 million in debt and went bankrupt
So much unfettered spending in such a short period of time isn’t sustainable for even the biggest stars. MC Hammer continued to release music throughout the ’90s, but in April 1996, the platinum-selling rapper had to file for bankruptcy with over $13 million in debt.

I read this, ESPN did a 30 for 30 called Broke on athletes going broke. It seems most of these entertainers “learned” from Hammers mistakes. Musicians going broke still make money off of royalty right’s, so they may not be financially “secure” but they have income streams.
There seems to be less articles about athletes going broke like there was in the 90s and 2000s, but I remember Warren Sapp declared bankruptcy after losing his job at the NFL network of course Michael Vick was broke when he went to prison.
Having money doesn’t mean you can handle it.
-
I read somewhere that Wahlberg said he would make his fortune by not turning down movie roles. Just adding movie after movie. Probably knows he isn't some Oscar caliper Actor so he'll outwork everybody and gain influence in Hollywood that way.

Stumbled onto this one:
https://www.cbssports.com/tennis/news/tennis-legend-boris-becker-faces-jail-time-following-guilty-verdict-in-bankruptcy-trial/
The six-time Grand Slam champion stated that his $50 million in career earnings had gone to payments for an "expensive divorce," and other various debts. Becker also stated that he had "expensive lifestyle commitments," including a house in Wimbledon that cost 22,000 pounds ($28,800) in monthly rent.

I can see that working for him. He's a crappy actor, but has enough charisma to land roles.

Why? He inhabits his characters in their roles.
I guess I’ll never understand this “good/bad actor” thing.
I’ve seen bad acting. But a majority, freeing themselves of being self-concious, act perfectly fine. “Exceptional acting” usually is simply a particular individual’s look and personality meshing well with a particular role. And great dialogue (not a product of the actor) and a liked personality.
Meryl Streep in The Bridges of Madison County strikes me as good acting plus a little extra.
However, perfectly serviceable acting would appear to be mostly attainable by most anyone, with a few exceptions.
Kids who’ve never acted act. Rappers act. Pop stars act. EVERYONE acts.

John Wayne pretty much played "John Wayne" in every role. With at least one exception, that huge turd of lifetime role of "Ghengis Kahn" in, "The Conqueror".

It's likely the after effects of Prop 13, the amendment that restricts property tax increases to 2% annually. Leads to some real inequitable results--as we see here

DeNiro, Wayne, Eastwood, Bruce Willis, The Rock, Gary Cooper, Stallone, etc. all the same in every movie.

He was willing to try different roles.

Anyway, his alleged prodigious talent didn’t translate much past that one role, really, did it. Something to that, I’d say. Like, great roles with great dialogue in a great movie never again came a-knockin’. All things for which a thespian has zero input or credit of creation.
I was in the drama class in high school for a semester and there were several who always put on a show of similar ability for every production.

When I think of good actors, I think of Anthony Hopkins, Denzel Washington, Daniel Day Lewis, Christian Bale, Kevin Spacey, Javier Bardem, Tommy Lee Jones.
When I think of crappy actors, I think of Sean Penn, Jaden Smith, 50 Cent, Kirk Cameron, Tyler Perry, Pauly Shore etc.
Mark Wahlberg has always struck me as a good entertainer overall. He was fun to watch when he rapped with the funky bunch. He was entertaining as the face of Calvin Klein for a few years. He was entertaining in a few movie roles. He has hosted a few shows and was pretty good as well. Every time he does videos on social media they're pretty good. He never stood out as a good actor to me, but as an entertainer that acts. Again, it depends on what you consider good acting.

When I think of good actors, I think of Anthony Hopkins, Denzel Washington, Daniel Day Lewis, Christian Bale, Kevin Spacey, Javier Bardem, Tommy Lee Jones.
When I think of crappy actors, I think of Sean Penn, Jaden Smith, 50 Cent, Kirk Cameron, Tyler Perry, Pauly Shore etc.
Mark Wahlberg has always struck me as a good entertainer overall. He was fun to watch when he rapped with the funky bunch. He was entertaining as the face of Calvin Klein for a few years. He was entertaining in a few movie roles. He has hosted a few shows and was pretty good as well. Every time he does videos on social media they're pretty good. He never stood out as a good actor to me, but as an entertainer that acts. Again, it depends on what you consider good acting.

I was watching a commentary done by Morgan Freeman. Freeman spoke very highly of Gene Hackman and it was pretty clear that Freeman considered Hackman a very good actor.

Wow - that's high praise indeed, coming as it does from a former UN Secretary General 8)

Daniel Day Lewis is by far the greatest actor!

Thanks for your response, brother.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
So incredible he peaked as an actor at, what, 10? The big roles really came fast and furious after ET! LOL
He was a kid channeling fuckin’ Snoopy dying or some shit.
Big whoop.

Oh, yes, by far. ::)

Not hating on the guy but I really don't see why you'd need a place that big. Unless you wanted to move in your friends and extended family too - which a lot of the filthy rich seem to do. It'd be nice to have my own well equipped gym and tennis court though.
One thing that gets me when I see clips like this...there's so much money spent on building this impressive house but I sit there thinking "It looks like a standard drywall/wooden frame construction with single pane glass everywhere.". I mean, if you can afford a house like that, why not do it properly and build it with good insulation?

Mark was in “Three Kings”, “Contraband”, “The Italian Job”, and “Shooter”. From those roles alone, he showed enough grit and determination to let us all know that 9/11 was preventable (if he had been on those planes).

why would you think a house this expensive is poorly insulated

Right. I doubt there's anything "standard" about it

they know the muppets who buy those houses have no idea about build quality, they will use the cheapest shit and throw them up

Drywall, particle board sheathing, same as any other house.
All those luxury extras add up but no where near what he's asking.
He'll probably get close to it.
Heckuva house. Unreal like a palace.
Best house I've seen. Crazy.
Ordinary people see this kind of stuff and their expectations become unrealistic.
Real estate prices are insane right now.

Yep, that's when I do most of the bulglaries
:D

exactly
But can you do it?

House is awesome, but honesty I like the outside stuff better than the inside.
Wahlberg's a hard worker, produces a ton of shit, and is doing cool shit. He has it down to a science.
He's been in more than 3 good movies so that's just silly. He also turned down the Backstreet Boys, which is a pretty crazy decision, which worked out well.
But of course, he was a racist southie douche who has done a lot of bad shit, so who really knows if he's changed at his core or not.

Do you envy someone who has to live like this? I don’t
Facebook spent $24MILLION on security for Mark Zuckerberg and his family last year.

I had no idea what good insulation meant until I moved to Germany. I can spot it pretty quickly now. What I saw from the inside of that house didn't seem to be anything especially different from a standard build. More of it, sure. Nicely done, sure. But same technique. And the glass most definitely doesn't look triple glazed.

You are correct.
Even a house like that is built by the same standards and same people as the 200k house down the street.

those are masonry homes, you are correct but those don't really exist in the US .. it's all stick framed houses here which is fine
