Only Billionaires Need Apply

Ha Ha! The link just sent me nearly 600 visitors in 3 hours - mainly from Belgium(?!) by the looks of it, sent you an email about it anyway!

*update*
I just had my platinum floor put in, i couldnt let those rich bastards outdue me.

From the Most Expensive in the UK (and the world) the Smallest in the UK.

To me the house looks a little too wasteful for its price - Yes luxury is good but this is a little overboard I think !

Man this is so tacky!! It has no stile, it looks like one big McMansion with lots of marble, gold, swimming pools and big lack of soul!

This is really made for nouvelle rich Arab wankers!

There are lots of properties that have soul and can get you money back (whot the hell needs 24-25 apartments?? it's cheaper to rent entire hotel)

Oh and by the way who the hell wants to spend 140MM$US in UK, maybe only Mohamed Al Fayed and his money grabbing co.

Now this are some cool MM properties:

with 400,000 visitors p.a. and rising you can really make that 70MM$US back, or add another 70MM$US and make super luxurious hotel out of it!

Got 140MM$US, why not live on a megayacht:

Now for that wanking above i wouldn't give a dime, even if i got into BB's!

It doesn't seem worth the price. Having a lot of space is nice, but it's also a lot of waste. Then again, living in any sort of excess -- like dining at Lumiere -- is "wasteful" in the strictest sense.

Wow, thats amazing... that is basically now a hotel.

I'd get lost and have an anxiety attack in one of the rooms

IF i get it I will certainly buy a good GPS to move around the house :)

I don't need that huge house...I'm gonna get lost in it and no one will able to find me and i'll die alone...

A $2M upkeep cost on a $140M home is not above average. It's inline with spending $2K a year keeping up a $140K home.

I am too much of a Dave Ramsey fan to spend that much money on a house I would have to be the richest person in the world and then I probably wouldn't do it anyway.

oh my god, this is sick. really nice house though

The best thing about living in a house like that is what would be in the garage i.e. Ferrari Enzo and Mclaren F1 at a minimum! And a Carrera GT.

That place is crazy. When I was a teenager I was working with a guy who did video. We went to NJ to film an ad for a new invention and the producer used his home for the setting - it was crazy. Nowehere near this size, but still very big. There was an indoor heated pool with glass windows looking in on it. There was a basketball court (probably half-court), a dance floor, a school room, and a mini-movie theater. The living room was humongous with a ceiling higher than many churches'. There was a full bar right next to the living room. It was amazing.

I have to start saving then... :)

As crazy as it might sound, that type of house doesn't appeal to me even if I had that kind of money. Maybe I feel that way just because I don't have that kind of money, but I honestly prefer the more humble, low-key type things.

nice mansion. but i prefer a condominium.. :)

Wow. Too big of a house indeed. I wonder if you can hear your echo in it? :)

Dazzling, but too spacious. I prefer comfort and cosiness. Slap a jacuzzi in my suite and I'm set. If I had the means to own this beauty, I'd rent her out.

So John, when are you going to buy this monster? :)

:| good to see a video of the future of John Chow :P, so have you made an offer on the house yet? lol

Hi John, which plugin did you use to embed the video - I couldn't get it to work on my blog!

hey john,

nice mansion...ill own it in 10 years

and ill let you hang out with me in it also!

because your such a big help.

matt

John, is this where you're going to be throwing your next party?! :D

That would make a great Summer Home! :D

to be honest, even if i had a billion + $ I would not buy it. Also, is it updown? or uptown?

Great house, I'd love to be able to afford to live in it. Though I think I'd go more urban. I like the idea of a nice moderately tall building and the whole top floor of it (maybe the one beneath too) all to my own. Can't forget the four reserved extra large parking spots for me (each on a turntable). As for the four cars parked in there... I'll save that story for another day :)

Actually, on a side note, I was reading just yesterday about how 2007 will be the year that online video takes over the real estate game on the net. Until now its been largely overlooked as a common means of online promotion apparently. Fools!

Matt

For me that house is tooo big.

Nice though. I love the $400,000 gold floor.
