While there are other "homes" far greater in sheer old-world size and grandeur......like the old mega-estates in the Hamptons (or, for that matter, Trump's Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach)......20,000+ modern and fully-customized square feet on 8 acres of the (or close to it) priciest land in the US is pretty outrageous.

Built by the Middle East-born founder of Brocade Communications.....whose stock I myself owned for a short time back in the days when communications/networking companies like Cisco and Brocade were solid gold (if not platinum) plated......the property is currently on the market for a cool $88 million.

As a traditional affluent New Yorker, something like this probably isn't Trump's cup of tea. OTOH, it just occurred to me that if I was fortunate enough to win $1.3 million Powerball jackpot, even I might be able to afford this joint.

Warren Buffett still lives in the same house he bought in the late 50's for around $30,000

why would anyone want something like that?..what a waste of money.. material things can't make you happy, they just make life easier..look at the crew of people you'd have just to maintain that "house"..I know a wealthy POW from the Vietnam war who owns a company that paves major highways in the southeast...he said if you can eat what you want to eat, when you want to eat it..you're rich...

Huh!? You don't want a hard body swimsuit model in your pool?!! Someone's values are just a bit mixed up! Or, at least, their testosterone.
