- tomh218, on 06/15/2008, -6/+33Just think, Exxon could buy all five of those hours with about 20 minutes of profit.
- illt, on 06/15/2008, -1/+2Or double digit billionaires could purchase one with just 1 year of (even us's low %) bank interest.
LEWLS - failedprototype, on 06/15/2008, -2/+11Lets do the math for just one of those houses.
100m x3 (1 hour/ 20 minutes = 3) x24 for the amount of hours in a day and 365 for the amount of days in a year. That equals 2.628 trillion dollars a year. Exxon's income is about 0.5 trillion a year and the actual profits are much less. Although Exxon-Mobil is a ridiculously large company, no company is large enough to purchase all 5 house with 20 minutes of profit.- weech, on 06/15/2008, -8/+5thanks, Bill Nye, for mathematically disproving a rhetorical figure of speech

- shrapnel7, on 06/15/2008, -3/+4too much for too much.
- BeingHuman, on 06/15/2008, -10/+2Buried because I hate F***ing rich people!!!
- PorchSong, on 06/15/2008, -5/+14Why? Because they worked harder than you? Studied harder than you? Risked everything to achieve success? Sacrificed more than you? Instead of hating those who succeeded, maybe you should re-evaluate your own failures and try, for once in your life, to succeed. Envy is one of the deadly sins. Instead of envying them, why don't try to emulate what made them successful.
- DDBdestroyer, on 06/15/2008, -6/+4unless the were born into richness - that sucks because who has control over that?
- slvrbullet87, on 06/15/2008, -1/+16Hating people for being born rich is as stupid as hating people for being born black
- SaxWan, on 06/15/2008, -6/+0AARRGHG just let him hate rich ppl already! I hate peeps who lecture others on ***** like the deadly sins...
- jfsimard79, on 06/15/2008, -3/+4Exactly. Everybody has the same opportuniy to make money (well, in the US anyways).

- Dominicc2003, on 06/15/2008, -1/+8What's wrong with intercourse with rich people?

- brainscab, on 06/15/2008, -9/+7Buried for the "see what the rich have, you be so much better off with this" Mtv Cribs, Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous nonsense showing up on Digg.
- GordonClass, on 06/15/2008, -2/+1Just too big, You'd need a golf cart to get from one end of the house to the other.
- JeremyJPeterson, on 06/16/2008, -0/+0Yeah, there is no way you'd use all that space. You'd use four rooms... Bedroom, Living Room, Kitchen, Bathroom

- jfsimard79, on 06/15/2008, -10/+4What's your point in showing that picture. I don't get it.
If you are implying that the money should be spent on the people in that picture, as far as I know, they didn't earn it right?- minnymoo, on 06/15/2008, -3/+7you think they had the opportunity? sheesh.
- ElbertF, on 06/15/2008, -3/+3They are poor because they are lazy right?
- jfsimard79, on 06/15/2008, -10/+4What's your point in showing that picture. I don't get it.
- andergriff, on 06/15/2008, -9/+8More heartless displays of vulgar wealth.
- slvrbullet87, on 06/15/2008, -2/+3Would still rather live in the playboy mansion (est. $50 mil) just because of coolness factor
- shrapnel7, on 06/15/2008, -3/+6it's their money. they can spend it how they wish. however, if these people have appetites this big, they're probably insatiable. be happy you're not one of them. a bigger house is just more walls around you.
- Akraz, on 06/15/2008, -2/+3Bill Gates' house? How much is that worth?
- cvindustries, on 06/15/2008, -0/+1Built for around $110m, but it's never been on the market. Google his property assessment, there's usually an article every year in the paper about how much he pays in annual taxes on the property.
- ancalagon73, on 06/15/2008, -4/+3I'm so happy that we've been able to put an end to poverty and suffering so we can spend money on luxuries like this. Oh wait...
- R3DBULL, on 06/15/2008, -8/+5gay
- banido, on 06/15/2008, -1/+1and fake
- muleskinner, on 06/15/2008, -1/+8I just don't see that kind of value in these properties. You could build yourself one hell of a house for 10 million, or heck even 1 million if you chose your location right.
If I were planning to build a big ass mansion, I would build it somewhere like West Virginia. Beautiful landscape, secluded, and cheap cheap cheap.- rdoger6424, on 06/15/2008, -0/+4But still West Virginia
- feezus, on 06/15/2008, -1/+2West Virginia? Sure, it'd be a great getup until it was raided by the inbred mutants.
- uhhNo, on 06/15/2008, -0/+3Hmm... buy 1 $100 million house or buy 100 $1 million houses... I think the total utility/ person will be massively higher for the 100 people option.
- fugazied, on 06/15/2008, -0/+1Whats the upkeep on those properties, I'm guessing a cleaning/gardening bill of $2000 a week.
- rowlodge, on 06/15/2008, -4/+2just by a damn skyscraper if you want a big house.
- zanvann, on 06/15/2008, -1/+6$125,000,000?
That's like what ... £100 at the current value of the dollar?- renagadex2, on 06/15/2008, -0/+2LOL DUDE
/s - logicet, on 06/15/2008, -1/+1I see what you did there.
- renagadex2, on 06/15/2008, -0/+2LOL DUDE
- stinkypyper, on 06/15/2008, -0/+4Wow, you mean I can get them for a few million below there asking price.
- InsaneOni, on 06/15/2008, -1/+4God those houses are ugly. What a complete waste of money that could have been used for something good.
- xomp, on 06/15/2008, -0/+3"all steel construction"?
- djm19, on 06/15/2008, -0/+0As opposed to the wood construction you see in almost all houses. Its a very sturdy house is what they are saying.
