Saying that, it is an utterly grotesque property. It's no wonder it is in America, built and designed by and American who has tired, but failed to mimic European archetecture.

fucking hell, even if i could afford to i wouldnt buy that, who the hell needs so much space? would cost the same again to furnish the bloody place, and hundreds od thousands a year again in housekeeping and gardening as you'd never be able to keep it yourself

Looks like a Disney Land hotel. Saying that, it is american and they can't help being un-cultured and obsessed with size.

or atleast a good carpet 
id like the island on that "expensive homes " link.
to be fair whoever can afford 50 million will most proably be worth alot more and running costs wont be an issue , 2.5million a week at least interest on 50 million.
and here is me skimping and saving for a £800 holiday
