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.

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?

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

I believe you're right, but that doesn't make them less tacky. It's like the truck fanatics that have to have everything in their house branded with their truck manufacturer of choice.

That's the sort of furnishing you'd expect to see in a rapper's house.  Bentley pillows.

Critiquing something and caring about something are two different things. We're just talking about something that most of us aren't going to give a fuck about in an hour or two anyway. I don't give a flying fuck what this guy spent his money on. I'm just saying what I don't like about it. There are a lot of things I do like about it too. Some of his furniture really does it for me, just not those Bentley pillows.

I presume they're counting the cars in that estimate.  That's got to be the only way.

If I had that much money I would not want to live in that house. It is way to sterile for my taste.

With the amount of money spend on this I would rather live in the Mountains and be self contained or on some Island.

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.
