haha the house is in Bel air.. as in Beverly Hills.. as in one of the most expensive places to live in the US.

And I posted that as a joke... not sure why people took it so seriously.

I share a 1 bedroom apartment with another girl who gets way more sex in it than I do... It's not like im living big or anything.

In Bel Air, you don't have to install heated garages and driveways. Nor do you have to install snowshield roofing or freezeproof piping.. The house is probably not made with the same sort of quality in mind - It's California - You really don't need a lot of the same building quality expenses. Bigger does not mean more expensive...

...and back to that CAD vs USD thing. lol. Find a house, in Canada, that's just as expensive, and bigger, with the same build qualities. Then I'll be impressed =)

that house is freaking tiny for 15 m unless the guest house is another 5k sqft. the only thing that even begins to justify the price is sitting on 5 acres. you could do A LOT better

I'd say, I can imagine keeping up a place that big would be extremely stressful/time consuming.

I think he posted a facebook link last page with all the pics. It seems like a sweet place, I'm very jealous, to say the least. Haha

It does look like a really nice huge house though. He's telling the truth though, and not making incredible claims like some members *sweaty_balls cough cough* haha.

Oh snap that's right I forgot! I always see the blue name and think "guy" automatically. Sorry about that! My bad!

Yeah sweaty balls is, I don't get why he's wasting his time doing it though. He just has no life I guess, I don't know. Seems dumb to me.

Jealousy is not the thing here, who the hell (in their right mind) would need/want a 840 sq m house?

As I said, overkill.

Plus, to put in some perspective, that 9000 sq ft house is more than 10 times larger than my childhood home. Which is roomy as it is.

haha this. Idk, I dont come from a poor family, but my parents have always been really hush hush with how much money they make. I didnt know how much my dad made until last year, and I'm really thankful for that. If theres one thing i hate its rich kids living off their parents and people buying shitloads of expensive things just because they can afford it. Inb4 being called jealous, but i'm not, I just think its an arrogant way of life. People are living on $1 a day in other parts of the world and others have 4 vacation mansions to "entertain" extended family. Arent you aware of how fucked up that sounds? something taken straight out of 17th century europe

for everyone saying that that is a lot for what you are getting: you all are super ignorant about real estate. Location, location, location!!!

My fam moved to my neighborhood in the 70's and paid 150k for the house. nice house, but very middle class. after silicon valley blew up and all the influential people decided to settle down in the area, my house is worth millions. if you saw it, you would think 250k-300k max.

A brand new, state of the art house, with every amenity and luxury imaginable, in one of the most desirable areas in the world is going to cost a damn pretty penny.

True, I also agree with that. Still think its stupid though :)

I guess I'm just fed up with being surrounded with people who brag about how much money their family have, like many people where I live do.

The whole "you are what you own" lifestyle glorified intensely by so many people makes me lose faith in humanity haha, and I think more people should start thinking "is this really necessary?" when consuming (applicable to everyone).... do you really become a happier and better person for owning this much property/other stuff, or can you survive with less?

Haha maybe I just sound like another hippie, but to me it makes sense. I'm glad I'm still somewhat level headed after growing up where I was.

^ see thats what I dont get! the constant competition and strive for acceptance. When you're dead it wont matter what you and your family owned, life is more than heated floors and sports cars. I guess its difficult to see things from different perspectives when you have lived your life in a certain way, surrounded by others with the exact same world view, but wanting to own a property like the one in op or bigger is ridiculous. At least to me (and hopefully many others).
