Thats pretty disappointing IMO, here in Sc, I think you could buy the freaking STATE HOUSE for 26 million. Money much better spent elsewhere. Cool house though.

I hear that....I mean Cali is crazy when it comes to house prices, but that is just flat stupid.....I just went to Laguna Beach a couple months ago and it's probably the richest area I have ever been to...I mean, there is some serious money around where I live, but that place is just SNOTTY! I saw more lambo's and Ferrari's in one day there than I've seen here in 5 years! ha ha

location location location! That's all this is.....you'd have to go see laguna beach to understand the kind of money that's floating around there and how perfect of a location it is....hell yes it's over priced, but beach front property on the pacific ocean is not cheap.....but 26 million is extreme though

Just to give you an idea of how over priced that is, that house isn't even a quarter of bill gate's house, and bill gate's house is worth $50 million. Just with $1,000,000 id have a house like that on the beach here in miami's star island. With a huge dock.

I think with $26,000,000.00 id..

Build my own artificial island with a mountain, id put a HUGE mansion on it with a huge mansion as a guest house in the back, id have the world's biggest pool, and id have a huge dock filled with boats and yachts, Then id have a huge like golden gate style bridge just to take me to my other artificial island which contains a HUGE climate controled garage which would have marble floors with those rotating floors and its own service shop and employees running it, With a collection of about 100 cars, and then with id probably build my own race track around it. And even after doing all this id still have about 5 million left over. And probably with that money id just open the worst largest Mortgage company...

sorry to say, 26 million wouldnt buy you all of that. and you wouldnt find a house that size on star island for $1mil. also, if that house is worth $3mil like you say, then they're not making the realtor $26 million... it doesnt work that way. the realtor takes a commission, not the profit. i dont think you have any concept of money. $26 million isnt as much as you make it seem.

lol

depends on the location. you're not paying for that house, you're paying for the location it's at. that house by itself is probably worth around half a million.

Yep, it's location location with this one....essentially your buying a small piece of beach on the pacific ocean, that's why it costs so much....again I think $26 million is just flat crazy for any kind of house.

NO way....you would at LEAST 10x that. If your buying with that much money for quantity that large you'd be getting Kilos at 7 large a piece un cut. thats $7 a gram which still needs to be cut which doubles your quantity and cuts initial cost in half. So now you have 14,000 grams which cost you $3.50. And at 50 a G your looking at 14x profit. And that is only for one kilo.

Tony montanta could buy that house for fun.

Lottery is like 126 million chances, so actually, I could only buy about 20 percent of the chances. Good think I wasnt serious.
