I'm not sure I get that, but anyway, here's a video that's making the rounds of that real estate developer who can't sell his stupid $500M mansion... why is that even a thing? When you have millions to spend on a home, wouldn't you want to design it yourself?
So here's real life Russ Hanneman from Silicon Valley fame, walking you through his monument to to the coming collapse of late stage capitalism while suffering from suicidal depression:

@15:26 - That is fucking shit.

Some of it is fine. I think the overall architecture is pretty cool if you ignore for a second how ridiculously impractical it is, but it's not like that guy designed it. He commissioned an architect who had to listen to hours of esoteric nonsense and plans for a 21st century Heal the World rendition featuring a hologram Whitney Houston, and then ignore all that and just design a stupidly big house.

I hate to bring up nazis again - I have a feeling we talk about nazis too much here, but famously Hitler was a dumb bitch with terrible taste and his idea of good architecture was like whatever the Romans did just bigger, so they built those massive monuments out of tons upon tons of marble that were supposed to last the Thousand-Year Reich, none of which survived the war.

This feels like that. It's what you'd expect... but bigger!

The architecture is on a par with most megamansions in LA. Not bad, but it's not comparable to a castle. It's rather like competent art compared to brilliant art. And you can't ignore the impracticality, not when you consider this is a home. Who wants that much space in their home? I want my house to be cosy, I don't want to be able to play cricket in my living room.

I mean, frankly, I hope this is built on a fault line.
