Maybe he's wanting to downsize. Maybe a little 1200 square foot ranch home. That's probably it.

I can't imagine living in something that big. I know I'd never want to. Number one, it would be like exercise just to get around the place. And two, I'd be too stressed in a place that big, and being home is supposed to be not stressful.

I admire TP but I think it's a form of over compensating for all the years in which you had nothing.

And you need a lot of space to host all of those friends and relatives that come out of the woodwork when you get rich and famous. I just can't imagine ever wanting that much space no matter how much money I have.

Ditto. I could not be happier with our very modest 1,300 square feet of indoor space.

Beautiful house.......25mm probably not though. Like Holyfield found out, your dream home is expensive to build, very expensive to maintain and even tougher to sell!

This location is so much better than Holyfield's though. It will be interesting to see how fast it sells and for how much.

I've always wondered if folks who are willing to drop $25 million on a house wouldn't much rather design their own palatial dream compound rather than buy someone else's? I'm curious if that's a factor that makes this type of property difficult sell.

Well, you also have an extremely small pool of buyers. And unless one of those buyers is looking to buy at the moment you are trying to sell, you're SOL.

Seriously, how many Americans are in the income category that affords them $25m homes?

Oh yes, of course, I agree! What I meant was, in addition to the fact only a tiny percentage of people can afford a $25MM house, how many of those potential buyers want to purchase someone else's "dream estate"? I imagine they'd rather design it from the ground up...but since I know very few people who live in $25MM houses, I'm just speculating

Nene & Gregg could snatched it up.
She's a rich ***** now.
