Title: World's most expensive house
Post by: John_C on May 04, 2008, 11:10:04 AM
Approx $2 BILLION (and counting)

400,000 sq ft  27 stories

Apparently their current 22 story digs were inadequate.

And IMO it's way ugly.

I guess they can sell it for an office building if it doesn't work out.  Why would anyone need to enclose so much air?

It's total overkill but atleast they are spendig the money and providing someone a job instead of hording it.

Yup -- I never made any money off a poor man.  Somebody said that -- here I think -

Reminds me of that old joke --

A gal walked into the bank with a gallon jar full of quarters.

The banker said, Wow -- did you hoard all of that yourself?

She said, No - my sister whored half of it.

hmm -- that one probably wasn't worth telling. d*
