    Did the Saints Row crew model the “one man shouldn’t have all that power” penthouse raid on this mansion? I feel like I know where to run for ammo and the elevator just looking at the thumbnail.

  • BenUFOs_Mum

    I strongly recommend watching the original film YouTube tour with the guy who built it and the follow up interview he did a few months later.

    Original creator was coked up to the gills, keeps talking about his ex wife actress who he married after knowing a few months and how the house will be a beacon for the world. While being interviewed by this really bizarre British guy.

    Honestly the whole video plays out like some kind sketch that’s half way Tim and Eric and half way UK office

    Then in the follow up interview when he’s going bankrupt he announces he is going to raise the funds though a credit card business he is setting up and this mystery guy who’s gonna give him $200 million but he has only ever met on webcam.

    Honestly the whole thing plays out like some kind sketch that’s half way Tim and Eric and half way UK office

  • OutOfStamina

    Jeeze, whoever used the edit/transition in this video where the video signal pretends to go all bad for a second needs to have a talking to.

  • Nadodan

    Honestly looking at that behemoth, I kept thinking “How they hell do you keep the pools watered and cleaned, and the grass green? This would be like taking care of a resort grounds, with none of the income that comes with it. Like forget staffing, and the cost to keep the bastard clean. How do you keep the green bits from dying without getting fee’d up the ass for using too much water?

    It’s not a golf couse, it’s not a business, you’re not getting a break without directly paying doe.

    Also there’s like zero security besides a gate it looks like. I’d be afraid to live there, it’s like living on a giant target. Who the hell wants to be the guy sitting on the biggest house in Belair?

  • JonasPolskyAMA

    There’s a Maya Rudolph TV show called “LOOT.” Watching the trailer they had an exterior shot of “The One” and I was like “Whoa! I know that house!”

    As the trailer goes on, it looks like they shot a lot of the show inside the house, which is a pretty good idea since nobody will ever live there, lmao.

  • Zerowantuthri

    Let’s face it:

    If you had $500 million to spend on a home would you buy something someone else designed or would you have the home designed to your own specifications in a location you chose?

  • Dmk5657

    Living there would basically be like living in a resort that’s empty. I feel like even if I had the money I wouldn’t want to. It’s basically a place to throw parties.

  • Drunk_Skunk1

    Let’s stop calling these places “houses” “homes”, they’re not. They are entertainment buildings. You don’t live in these, you visit these places.

  • kgt5003

    If you are so rich that you want to throw down 500 million dollars on a house, you are gonna want to have that house built and customized to your own exact specifications. Nobody is gonna want to spend 500 million dollars on a house that somebody else designed with nobody in particular in mind.

  • BGI-YYZ

    Anyone who could remotely afford this house would do better to have one designed to their exact specifications. What a monumental waste of money and resources.

  • Sirpedroalejandro

    I thought it be a little bit more impressive than that for the price.

    Had to look it up and it only sold for 126 million which still feels overpriced.

  • reubal

    Fun fact: They never got the “nightclub” permitted as part of the house. So the big fancy hallway and entry to it had to be close off with a concrete wall, creating a big dead end hallway next to the bowling alley. Now, the only way to allow the nightclub to remain and be accessible is to have all your guests walk out on the “ground floor”, past the pool and behind the poolhouse structure, and down some steps behind there.
