that house is ridiculous.....you would need a building manager, security company, a whole crew of cleaners and gardeners, you would probably need a maintenance person maybe two, Cooks, servants, and even a receptionist.

Thar goes the neighborhood.

Would YOU even WANT a house like that?

I wouldn't even want something that big - you?

No...I wouldn't want a house that big. Even if I could afford it.

I'd rather buy a few houses....of moderate size.

One that was by the water....another in the mountains somewhere in New Hampshire--just to get away.

I think that house is what you call a trophy house, right?

It only says, "I can afford to own this house. I'm really something."

But a Russian buying the most expensive piece of real estate in the US is making a statement, too.

He's saying, "Move over America. The New Rich are here."

Its not hard to do that when you take stuff that was owned "in common" by the people and claim it as your own and sell it.

I love how people are pretending these guys are hardworking geniuses, when in fact all they did is rob their countrymen blind when the socialist system fell.

Sure wish I had been the broker for this one! Imagine the commission! It's a new world for Russia, isn't it? They've re-defined the term "Super Rich."

"A Russian billionaire investor paid $100 million for a French chateau-style mansion in Silicon Valley, marking the highest known price paid for a single-family home in the U.S.

The purchase of the 25,500-square-foot home in Los Altos Hills, Calif., underscores the strength of some luxury properties in an otherwise depressed housing market.

This The buyer, Yuri Milner, 49, who heads Digital Sky Technologies and whose investments include Facebook Inc., Groupon Inc. and Zynga Inc., had no immediate plans to move into the home, said a spokesman."

Globalization my friends!
