It had a fountain on each side of the stairs.. big rock wall with waterfalls, Koi, all kinds of lighting...

Also they had a secret passage.
secret passages are fun. so are hidden rooms.

anyone know someone w/ a panic room? I bet I could design a sick panic room.

When we designed our house we put in extra wide doors and ramps throughout the downstairs.. planning on being wheelchair bound late in life. The laundry chute from upstairs down to the utility room can also be expanded with a wheelchair lift someday if needed. Doesn't hurt to plan ahead if you're really serious about retiring/dying in a house someday.

Reverse? Three point turn? Rich people don't bother. They get turntables.

Also, they don't park their cars in garages or in driveways. They park them UNDER driveways.

The real rich (Travolta) don't even worry about cars




Don't forget about secret rooms/panic rooms




Also, if I had a private island in Fiji, I definitely wouldn't skimp with a four lane bowling alley: Gibson's 8 lane bowling alley ordered

I'd also like a pool. Indoor or outdoor? Both. But then if you decide you want to swim outside and it starts raining and you want to keep swimming inside, you'd have to get out of one pool and into the other right? Wrong!




I was also surprised by Real Housewives of Atlanta when the wife of Eric Snow hired someone to coordinate the house help. I figured that the one task of the stay at home millionaire wife was to coordinate the governess, nannies, chefs, etc. but I guess she doesn't even have to do that.


I'm not too impressed with all this though. I slept until noon, went for a swim in my indoor pool, took a nap, ate an entire chicken pot pie, drank a bottle of wine, and am now playing PS3 on my 50 inch plasma. And I don't even have a job. Doing the bull dance, feeling the flow. Working it. Working it.

Re: Things rich people have that you never even considered

There was a thread awhile ago about ridiculously extravagant things to do when you're super balla. Someone posted about having engineers create paintball versions of all the NS64 Goldeneye guns and life-sized versions of all the levels. Not RL, obviously, but I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

Thread is here: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/34...onaire-429687/
