Sold! America’s Priciest Home!
Sold! America's Priciest Home!
Aren't we just totally shameless lovers of gossip? Admitted. Now let's get that part covered: a 22-year-old girl is going to ramble around in 123 rooms? Even with a new husband . . . not likely! How does one not get lonely in 123 rooms? That poor husband would be sent on boogeyman patrol every 30 minutes of the night, and if she were alone, would probably sit up all night with a cocked pistol! Doesn't matter how much security you have . . . a mouse 40 rooms away will sound like a tiger on the loose . . or worse. So if you think that's going to happen, maybe it's time to look further.
We think it's more realistic to believe this purchase was a smokescreen cover for the real buyer who will show up later when the media frenzy wears itself out and the dust settles. Possibly a friend of daddy's? Yes, this is a great showplace to impress your jet set business friends and to hold corporate meetings and house parties. Since there is no Formula One race on the 2011 circuit for the U.S., maybe daddy and his friends are planning a California track and need a home base camp. The possibilities for the use of this massive building are certainly there, but to think of a kid wanting it, regardless of her inherited bucks, shifts to the ridiculous. And by the way, Petra . . though possibly more rare in England, long-legged, long-haired blonds are a penny per thousand in California where the look originated and who wants to blend into the woodwork?
So now that we're on an ugly streak, we must address the house itself. We'd just love to hear Tom Konig's opinion, and though it may not be printable, it already gives us a wide grin. So we ask you: Does this museum quality expression of excess have you making a run for the cabin in the woods yet? Slow down, we're right behind you! Thoreau had a point!
