    Can you even consider someone that rich to part of humanity? I mean seriously...5O00 sq.ft for a bedroom, on a DAMN boat! WTF?. That is just so over the top stupid. The cost of that .boat. is more money than a handful of third world nations combined, what the hell are these money grubbin titans thinking about. Do they live on the same planet?? I bet this piece of shit runs on a mixture of raw oil and the blood of babies.

    @aerospaceman: While I'm not a fan of oligarchic and corrupt economic systems overall, I'm not sure if we can blame the individuals who achieve success under these conditions. For instance, when Roman was starting out, I'm sure he faced the same obstacles that oppress many entrepreneurs in Russia today. The choice to participate "honestly" in a corrupt system might even have been completely unavailable. Even if these circumstances don't excuse someone for corrupt behavior, it would at least blur the distinction between what is morally acceptable and what is not.

    Damn, it's even got a red light district.


    I bet the one thing it doesn't have is train crashes, at least not intentional ones anyway.

    @mycintosh: The model is 1,100 square meters. That's what the video says, It's 1,650 now with the airport. The 10,000 square meters refer to the place, if my german google skills are correct. The video clearly says 1,100 square meters, which is before the airport I guess.

    @Git Em SteveDave loves this guy->★: I have it. At some indeterminite time in the future, Microsoft develops a superpowerful Xbox that can travel through time. Immediately upon arrival in 1697, because Microsoft did not program it to deal with dates that early, they all Red-Ringed, causing them to either return to their own time in emergency... or perhaps crash land and influence the rest of time!!!

    @Platypus Man: No, they all hid in a cavern which is located beneath the area where all of the LISA's and copies of ET:the video game are buried, and were discovered by Microsoft execs who were attempting to salvage some apple tech and broke through to their lair. They promptly escaped into the LA underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive playing "Soldiers of Fortune". If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire.....
