True. Think of the number of closet billionaires they don't have... Makes for entertaining perusal, I guess. --Dan
That explains it. Thanks. "oh and on newport, f^ck newport, it is a rat trap. i find that in selling my place i get a higher asking prices from other newport residents than people from out of town. it is because coastal oc are lifers, you are from here, you stay here, " Quote from testshoot IF you were referencing my comment, i was referring to newport RI, olllldddd money hangout, not yet a "rat trap" weasels maybe. If you weren't referencing my coment "never mind". T
Oddly no. the one that burnt was owned by one of the Boulle brothers (his bro Dennis owns deBoulle Jewelry) but he is a diamond and rare metal mining guy with lots of dealings in Africa.... The other one that burned shortly after finishing is owned by the guy who owns Boardwalk Porsche (and a bunch of other things)
None of those houses hold a candle to the real "most expensive private residence". Biltmore House is owned by a single individual, and is valued at over a half billion (yes $500,000,000.00) dollars. Now, its no longer occupied, so that's probably why its excluded. Can you imagine being the heir and getting the tax bill on your inheritence?
I thought the Biltmore was considered a historic estate and is now used as a hotel / restaurant / etc? I know BMW does their DE drive to there for the M5 / Z8. --Dan
Dan, the house you have quoted was for 45m and listed on the 2002 Forbes......Damn 7 hour brake jobs getting you all confused!!
