From the Daily Mail:
Multi-billionaire who gave a lecture about American’s ‘needing to have less things and live a smaller existence’ owns a staggering FIVE mansions… including the nation’s most expensive home
Billionaire property investor Jeff Greene recently spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, saying he believes people in the United States need to stop aiming so high and start living with less.
‘America’s lifestyle expectations are far too high and need to be adjusted so we have less things and a smaller, better existence,’ Greene, who ran for the Democratic Senate nomination in Florida in 2010, said in an interview.
‘We need to reinvent our whole system of life.’
The only issue Americans took with the 60-year-old’s opinions was, well, everything, given he owns a $195 million palace in Beverly Hills, which has 23 bathrooms and a rotating dance floor, as well as four other blue ribbon properties, and is famous for throwing wild parties on a 145-foot yacht, Yahoo! Homes reported.
Greene’s claim to real estate fame is the Palazzo di Amore, or Palace of Love, that sits on 25 acres in Beverly Hills and includes a vineyard that produces 400 to 500 cases of private label wine a year.
It became the most expensive home in the U.S. last year when Greene listed it for $195 million.
The main house is 35,000-square-feet, with 12 bedrooms, including a master suite measuring 5,000-square-feet.
There is a a 15,000-square-foot entertainment center with a bowling alley, 50-seat theater, a 10,000-bottle cellar and a kitchen with a walk-in fridge.
Greene paid $35 million for the property in 2007 when it was unfinished, and has since spent between $25 and $40 million completing it.
Greene’s estate. One of them.
When liberals say people need to start living with less, they mean YOU and not them. Which is why I loath liberals.
