      On that note, I’m dismayed that the many RUclips content creators who thrift and design the interiors of their homes, etc., treat books only as decor items. They all have bookcases, but few of them actually read. Books are there for color, size, antiquity, etc., but rarely because the creator actually loved reading them. I’m overjoyed when I find someone on RUclips who actually buys books at thrift stores and estate sales because they want to read them. @livingwithLK is one of them. I love her unpretentiousness and sense of humor.

    I live in FL, and this house almost didn't get built. It was stalled completely when the stock market crashed, and they tried to sell it, but couldn't.
    Just FYI -- about the maids' rooms in the basement having windows, under Florida law, a basement room has to have an egress window large enough for a person to climb out through. All basement bedrooms are supposed to be along the outside walls, I believe, but don't hold me to that. That floor plan doesn't look like they are, but the rooms could be connected to each other, so inside bedrooms could get to the windows to get out if necessary. Each room also has to have a sprinkler. I'm sure this house has a massive fire suppression system.

    The proportions all look wrong in the video, columns seem too narrow inside, the mansard roof doesn't look right with the building, and so on. If the decorative elements will be for real like what's shown, they just didn't opt to get specialists in the respective fields to design something amazing.

    Still doesn’t come close to the square footage of the Biltmore House in Asheville, NC, which is actually the official largest privately owned house in the US at a whopping 178,926 sq feet. Built 129 years ago and still astronomically more tasteful and iconic than this McMansion could ever hope to be.

    I actually liked the kitchen...it had its own style and the chandelier was likely made from Murano glass Italy which is fairly expensive. For sure it wasnt the worlds ugliest home..sterile Kardashians home is on top of the list to my taste.

    I think what upsets me most about just the build itself is its future. If it doesn't stay in the family if the kids don't keep using it and upkeeping it after the parents are gone its just gonna rot. No one is going to buy this no one is gonna want this overly stylized poorly designed chunk of building materials that hardly qualifies as a home. All that work all those materials its just going to end up wasted if the family decides they don't want to keep it. Especially as its being designed based on what they want now with no real thought to the future. Is anything in there energy efficient or anything like that how is the upkeep going to be managed idk all I see is waste waste waste

    David A. Siegel (timeshare company) is worth around 500 million usd according to Celebrity Net Worth.
    There's another David Siegel (Two Simga Investments) worth over 6 billions.
    They're not the same person.
    Before the 2008 crash, David A. Siegel estimated his net worth to be almost 2 billion dollars... yet he could never complete that damn house? 24 years after they started and it's still not done?

  • @legoqueen2445

    So there's a documentary of when they started building and then had to stop because (I think) they ran out of money OR the hubby was under investigation and their assets were frozen OR both? But from what I recall, she had a lot of kids, like 6 or 10. So by the time you give each child their own room, bathroom, wardrobe, the house is going to get pretty big. The irony of the kids now getting too old for the home that was created for them! It's just sad. Sad to have so much wealth that all you can do is show off your wealth! Imagine how many homeless people could be housed with just a 3rd of what they spent so far! AND they could have still built a beautiful home!

    A house like this is not worth $200,000,000. It is worth what someone is willing to pay. Somehow, I doubt that many super-rich would be willing to pay that much (unless Russian or Arab, perhaps) because they all have their own ideas (usually tacky) of the perfect home.
    The owners of this have no idea when to stop. There were several OTT items that might have looked good on their own. Unfortunately, they seem to believe that if one is good, one hundred is 'gooder'.

    I feel like there's potential in this house. They just need to scale back the opulence by 30-40%.
    Detail and quality finishes can be beautiful. But there's a line where beauty becomes tacky. The finest designers know where that line is.

    They're essentially building a modern day palace, like those built for european royaly and powerful wealthy aristocrats.
    The thing with european palaces is that they were designed to house hundreds of people, all of who were there to serve or protect the royal/aristocratic family, and that's before you include those who would stay as guests.
    When you think that those European palaces were built when royals/aristocrats functioned as the government for their respective countries, it makes this whole project seem ridiculous. The Siegels have a very overinflated sense of self importance.

    They have been building this house forever, her husband had even gone bankrupt at one point. Her husband David bought River Ranch in Florida, and then tried to sell the cabins as time shares. Her daughter at one point had snakes in a tank, forgot to feed them, they died, and no one wanted to clean out the tank. TACKY, OBNOXIOUS, AND JUST UGLY, ARE THE ONLY WAY TO DECRIBE THIS SO CALLED HOUSE.

    I liked the dark crown molding in the kitchen and the stained glass window of the peacock (I think), though I would have that window in a different room, like the bathroom for privacy. I do like some of the details because I do like ornate, but it is just too much.
    The size is also ridiculous. I cannot imagine a single family needing that much space, unless they literally had a dozen young kids that were still growing up and they entertained like all the time with BIG extended families. And still, with a ballroom like that (though some of the details were beautiful, it all seems like a bit much in one space) I would expect them to be hosting charity balls several times a year. This makes me think of beyond wealthy vampires (especially that ballroom with all the mirrors).
