While there are other "homes" far greater in sheer old-world size and grandeur......like the old mega-estates in the Hamptons (or, for that matter, Trump's Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach)......20,000+ modern and fully-customized square feet on 8 acres of the (or close to it) priciest land in the US is pretty outrageous.

Built by the Middle East-born founder of Brocade Communications.....whose stock I myself owned for a short time back in the days when communications/networking companies like Cisco and Brocade were solid gold (if not platinum) plated......the property is currently on the market for a cool $88 million.

As a traditional affluent New Yorker, something like this probably isn't Trump's cup of tea. OTOH, it just occurred to me that if I was fortunate enough to win $1.3 million Powerball jackpot, even I might be able to afford this joint.

Unlike Osama Obama... that's not in his top 5 (or even top 10, I believe) as his major issues. Al Gore has impressive homes and flys private jets. He adds to it just as much.
 
Warren Buffett still lives in the same house he bought in the late 50's for around $30,000

She comes in mine and she is a swimsuit model and designer. OMG!
why would anyone want something like that?..what a waste of money.. material things can't make you happy, they just make life easier..look at the crew of people you'd have just to maintain that "house"..I know a wealthy POW from the Vietnam war who owns a company that paves major highways in the southeast...he said if you can eat what you want to eat, when you want to eat it..you're rich...

Oh, and The Oracle finally traded-in his 2006 Cadillac DTS a couple years ago for a new Cadillac XTS.

Huh!? You don't want a hard body swimsuit model in your pool?!! Someone's values are just a bit mixed up! Or, at least, their testosterone.
