Just the annual upkeep has to be staggering--I mean, taxes and insurance, a gardener, cook, cleaning staff... The mind boggles.

I remember reading an article on Evander Hollyfield's house right after he declared bankruptcy.

If I'm remembering correctly, it was a 12,000 sq/ft house just outside of Atlanta and the utilities alone cost 5k a month. Now, remember folks, it costs significantly more to heat a house than it does to cool it. If Evander's house had been in Delaware instead of Georgia, how much more would it have cost in utilities? 8k? 10?

I thought I'd never buy certain things. But when you make 10-100 times the money necessary to responsibly make the purchase, and you have reason to believe far more money is in your future, your thinking changes.
