That is her grandfather's philosophy. I mean, he has a nice house, I was in it, indoor pool, absolutely huge, but the outside is very plain and can't be seen at all from the street. And the inside is very classy, very nice, not fancy at all, just pure class. My sister-in-law told me that when he built it he said he's living his life for himself and his family, not to impress anyone. And when he built that house he was worth over 11 billion.

Sounds alot like Warren Buffett. But I wouldn't beleive it.

It's someone else.
There are books written about him and one movie/documentary that I know of.
I'm not going to say who he is, so don't bother asking.

And I ran out of hosting room at bbzzdd.

The house is 18,000 square feet, 1/10th of a mile long. 100mb of pictures and I still don't have pics of all of it.

Denise Richards lives at the bottom of the hill behind his house. I watched that house be built.

jesus christ!

NEVER!!!!!!!!!

Actualyl, Warrenn Buffett is my best guess. not sure why people hide things liek this though. My wifes cousin is a semi-famous actor (well known amoung younger kids) and my in-laws are friends with one of the most influential people in advertsising over the past 100 years. No one would know the ad exec guy, but some would know my wife's cousin. I don't get what the big deal is.

EDIT: Is it Post? Been to Topridge once if it was a Post person. Tehn again, they spend their moeny. DOH!!! Out with it now will ya.

So? Why would they move there? They don't give a damn about status. They are who they are and they're quite comfortable with it. They don't need to move somewhere else so people can look at them differently.

And you're only seeing less than a 10th of the inside. The limit at bbzzdd is way too low.

 

[trmiv]

Yea I don't get the kitchen. Is that like a mirror image of the same photo? I don't get why it's like two of the exact same kitchen side by side?

that's what I thought too, the owners must be huge fan of iron chef

I really dig his entrance and the master bath (although that would have been 10x more awesome had it been done with slabs)

edit: only one refrigerator?!?! blasphemy!

Wow, that is amazing. If I had friends/family like that, I'd feel too ashamed/embarrassed/inferior to ever invite them over to my own place.

Well at least it's only one fridge.

Why no Sub-Zero? Seems kinda silly with that fridge in that kitchen.
