I'm not impressed. Neither are a lot of other people, for various reasons. We can ignore the crowd crying about how dare he have that much money. They can stuff it. Other comments describe the place as tacky. It is. It would be nice if you wanted to live in a shopping mall, but when one builds a house, Cameron Frye's father should not be the inspiration. It's the whim of a ridiculous man-child. Blech, |

If it is what someone wants more power to them.
For me my ideal house would be in the woods and be just big enough to suit my families needs To each their own I guess
|
|
I wouldn't say no to living in it, but yeah some of that shit is mad corny and is the polar opposite of "extreme". Bugatti pillows? Get that shit out of here. It's like a rich hipster's wet dream.

House itself seems fine, some of the furnishing is questionable, but I'd be bringing/buying new anyway, except the candy wall that stays.
|
|
Does it come with the cars and wine and furniture and candy? Or is all of that just staged like more down-to-earth developers and real estate agents do to sell houses?
Also, if the candy does come with the house, do they make sure it isn't stale? |

Cool looking house. I like the garage.
If I was a billionaire I would have a nice house in the middle of the woods in Central Florida and own as much land around it as possible. |
|
Spectacular crib...but for 85-million....he can keep it. If it was overlooking the mountains in Idaho or Alaska...I'd consider it. |

Somewhat nice but I cant imagine the care and maint that go into such a place you would have to have a full time maid and maint guy plus the prop taxes there have to be outrageous --just buying the place would only be the first step. Some of the decor is kinda tacky but thats changeable. It would be fun to go look at the place --make sure the designer is on site and say something like "well I would have to renovate before I move in --will you take 75 mil?"

Taste is subjective..
That said I sure wouldn't piss away any amount of money on that house. I might spent it on an enormous underground bunker system though - something straight out of a movie. His money though.. so whatevs |

Why do people give a crap what others do with their time and money? Grow up.
|

Seems more like a $20 million dollar home, not $85 million. I'd like to see the cost break down where they come up with $85 million in value.

If I had that much money I would not want to live in that house. It is way to sterile for my taste.
I like color and all the white would drive me nuts. With the amount of money spend on this I would rather live in the Mountains and be self contained or on some Island. |

No indoor 300 yard range with motorized target hangers, no care

Free internet for you today sir for using L.A. for Los Angeles instead of LA.

Classy.
Million Dollar Security System. HAHAHAHAHAHA! Then you probably hire more some people of questionable legal status and let them have the run of your property while they are working. HAHAHAHAHAA! |

The house itself is outrageously nice, but the interior is pretty tacky. Kind of bums me out that his deck furniture is worth more than my house though. I guess you can't spend all that much on the structure before it gets too big, then the remaining tens of millions get put toward location, land, and accessories (like 3k dinner plates). And OP; don't be jelly. |

I like the house, hate the location.
It needs to be on 500 or 1,000 acres in a Rocky Mountain state. With serious fencing and hi tech security monitoring in place and several of those mean ass Russian wolf killer dogs running loose. For that kind of money no one would see me, I would hire servants to do my shopping and stuff for me. Spend every day shooting, playing with toys and blowing up 100 pound tannerite bottles. |
