Heard on the “Today” show a Russian Billionaire breaks world record in the purchase of Villa Leopolda, a Belle Époque mansion in Villefrance on the Côte d’Azur. The purchase totaled €500 ($750 million).
Is this a dream come true, or a “show” of power & wealth? Hmmm, seeing that the buyer remained anonymous maybe it was genuinely a dream come true. My dream home would currently weigh in right around 2.5 million. I guess the more you’re exposed to larger horizons the bigger your goals are? One thing I do know, is I will not pay that much money for a home. Then again some people would never pay 2.5 million for one either. Which is why it all boils down to who you are, and what it is you truly want out of life.

Wow now that is what you call an estate, that’s amazing. I wish to spend 1.8m when I have the cash to but never thought about a house that expensive lol. Well if you have it why not. I suppose like you say it depends on the person and their dreams. I personally wouldn’t want a house that large. I’d be scared I would get lost lol.

I agree. It’s just amazing to see the types of lives people are living throughout the world. Why not strive to live your piece of it instead of just settling for what your served. I also think there is a fine line between people who things they will be praised for, and others who truly live according to their personal desires without getting corrupted trying to impress the masses. When you want something to impress someone else it’s not that special, because you didn’t acquire it out of your true desire.
At any rate thanks for the comment!
