I will never understand why anybody would spend that much money on a house... I had a lot of money at one point in my life and I really honestly can
say it didn't make me happier or make me feel any different - yes sure I regret that I didn't buy a couple of houses back then but paying $40mill for a fucking
house?
Why?

Take Mark Zuckerberg the creator and owner of Facebook - he lifes in a small rented house $4k rent per month.
He likes to be in close contact with his friends and his neighbors - I respect that more than anything in the world.

Just different taste.  Most wealthy people get off on spending a ton of cash.  It's a hobby to them.  Finding shit to "fix up", having landscapers over a ton, repairing the driveway...it gives them shit to do.
Spending 40 million on a house, I guess I'd have to accumulate that, before deciding if I wanted to spend it on a place I sleep.

you guys do realize that a good chunk of that 40 mil on a house is for the land it sits on?

yeah but if I had enough money to spend 40 mill on a house I do something spectacular, I mean with that kinda money you
can do something really fucking crazy, like building a ranch in Montana mountains completed with Anti personal mines - fall traps - fucking huge walls
to survive the Z War.

Its like you see these houses some of those yanks have and they always look the same, the kitchen looks like nobody lives in the bath and all looks
like a very good hotel room.
Where are all the books etc etc
Its like somebody takes a cataloge and says, THATS how I want my interior to look like and WOOSH !!!! voila

I understand it.  If you have the money to spend… it’s not a lot of money.  One does not buy a property like that if it is a strain on your budget.  Remember, most high-end property owners on the Island are seasonal occupants; they may spend their winters there, but the rest of the year they are in NYC, Connecticut or elsewhere.  In fact, the high-end owners tend to own multiple homes across the country or world.  Some almost never come to the Island.  For them the real estate is a place to park some of their money.

People buy what they value.  Why do people spend thousands of dollars on opera tickets?  Why by a $2000 pillow?  Or a yacht that you use once every other year?  Jewelry?  The list is endless, but again, if you have the money to spend it’s not a lot of money.  Meg Whitmen just spent $120 million dollars on a vanity campaign to become governor of California.  Virtually everyone now believes she will lose.  Was that a wise use of her money?  No.  But she had it to spend.

F355 and 458, one's exhaust manifold has "issues" that can never be fixed, the other "mysteriously" catches on fire...but, I wouldn't mind both


BTW, I want a house IN a mountain, or in a hill, just a big "earth" house...it would be cool as hell. Or have something like a Bat Cave built...
