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