These .1%ers are probably laughing at the recent polls in here.
"Home Value" poll with only 12 people living in over $10 million homes and "How much Cash you carry" poll only going up to $100k and the "Do you think Amanda Martin is hot" poll. |

Anyway we visited his family and his house is maybe 3,000 sq ft, < 10 yrs. old and perfection. Meaning the person who built it had everything upgraded, kitchen, baths, swimming pool, EP Henry driveway, patio, blah blah blah...that's pretty sweet being turnkey. That is "enough" for me, and seriously, sticking to a northeast location, it may not be achievable (he's in Tampa FLA, less than 1/2 the price in general)...even the cookie cutter 3,500 sq ft homes where I live have < 50% of the character, and cost a pretty penny with high property taxes...yet this is garbage to the 0.1% lol |

No wealthy person says 2400 sq ft is more than enough besides the frugal! If i had money id have a spacious layout and probably 5,000 sq ft ish. My personal gym and movie theater alone, would be 1250+ sq ft... Now do we need that space? Of course not. If i had the money though, you bet i'd have some pretty over the top stuff!

My house is like 2500 sqft and I spend 90% of that time in my 300 sqft office. There's one room I never go into and a living room I never use. Before this one we saw one that was like 3500 sqft we were like wtf would we do with this shit? Maybe if you had 12 kids or something but I'm sure most of these 0.1% don't. |

*Of course, this is a simplified version, because they don't really pay cash, they use leverage which actually has a ratchet effect on the return, but I figured that and the servicing cost on the asset roughly cancel.

That reminds me. I saw him once also at this taco truck place. No one there seemed to have a clue who he was. He was standing next to the area where they make the bbq corn and some lady comes up to him and tries to hand him a dollar for a corn. He was like I'll be happy to take your dollar but I don't work here.

Is Donald Trump considered part of the %0.1? Probably.
Some of his golf courses are considered "farms" and receive all the tax breaks and benefits that come along with it, simply because they "make hay", or "herd goats". The result? Little to no taxes on expensive multi-million dollar properties. Just sayin. Must be nice to be %0.1 and think you know what's best for the other 99.9% http://www.wsj.com/articles/goat-her...ite-1461191607 |

Check out this impressive pad, in the City of Westminster, central London, England. We are talking prime South West 1A postal code here.
It is over 721,000 sq ft ! The current owner also has a castle ... you read that right ... a 590,00 sq ft castle, set in 5,455 acres of parkland, just 22 miles down the road, in Windsor. And you will scarcely believe that she has ANOTHER castle, in Scotland, with one of the largest deer and game hunting estates in the whole of Great Britain : approximately 50,000 acres. Incredible ... imagine the size of the flat screen you would need in the main living room ... simply wow ! |
