Here's a pic of the beach that the house is on: https://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/12/46/5f/6f/del-mar-beach-from-above.jpg

I live a few miles away, I've been down the street a dozen times. The house sits about five feet above sea level. There's a handful of restaunts on the same street, and a public beach and a public parking lot.

Oddly enough, he has zero parking. So I'm guessing he'll probably buy another place nearby. He paid something like 30% over the asking price, so I have a hunch that this won't be the last place he buys on this street.

Gates has lived in San Diego for quite a while: https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/real-estate/sdut-jenny-craig-bill-gates-equestrian-horse-microsoft-2014oct08-story.html

Del Mar feels a lot like Kirkland, which is right nearby to where his home is in Washington. (His home in Washington is in Medina.)

From the realtor's website, the property actually includes the house across the street which has a garage (scroll through the photos to the satellite pic). He'll probably use the property one or two days a year. That's all how the crazy rich live while we get $1200.

Ah, that makes sense.
