Well, they did say “high art.”
But I think they’re weed is pretty crappy.

As a big fan of real estate porn all I can say is, WHERE"S THE REAL ESTATE?? I want to see the high end counters, the Wolf ovens, the marble bathrooms… What a disappointment.

Here you go. I know how this will sound because clearly I can’t afford a 100 million dollar house, but… it looks like a fucking shopping mall -

To me, it looks like a hotel that’s trying too hard. That living room/kitchen space is a shoe-in for a lobby bar/lounge.

Seriously. It’s Real Estate porn, not Real Estate/porn.
I’ve heard filming in the Valley keeps a lot of crews employed, maybe someone just got their calendar mixed up.

bond girl - gold paint comment - check
real estate pron comment - check
misuse of champagne - check
the only other things I was gonna comment was:
does the gold paint and sparkly glitter leave a mess on the Lambo?
do they come with the house, and if so, do you have to feed them?
i, for one, welcome our new porn loving lesbian gold robot overlords
and finally?
goddamnit, how many people could we feed, how many kids could we educate, how could we improve our society, infrastructure, lives, … with the money these douchebags are sucking out of the world to impress their friends.
F everything about that house and its owner

But a high end shopping mall (I’m thinking Yorkdale, in Toronto). And, hey, the views are very pretty.
In all seriousness, property like this puzzles me. It looks like it was built pretty much solely for entertaining (and that video plays into the notion of property as some kind of hedonistic party space). Don’t rich people want nice spaces to actually live in? And maybe hang out with their families? Is public life the only kind of life that they aspire to enjoy?
Aesthetic critiques aside, none of these spaces look like they would be very inviting to hang out in alone, or with one or two other people. Much like a mall, come to think of it!

For many of them, isn’t being seen and partying and generating tabloid headlines part of the job? I’d imagine they much prefer their private time to be not to hedonistic.

It probably has the billionaire’s version of a man cave somewhere within its recesses. Complete with a giant heartshaped bed.

If they have to work this hard to try and sell a thing, that says to me it’s not selling.

I wonder if it’s just an tripartite agreement between some insanely wealthy person looking for a fancy status object or to offshore some wealth (who will only occasionally, if ever, use the property themselves) + a videographer looking for a portfolio piece + an architect looking for a “no specs, feedback” experimental project.
Kinda like when I built flash sites for jazz musicians back in the early '00s…except for 100s of millions instead of well, hundreds…
Bond was clearly on someone’s mind.
But I imagine it will just be bought for some Russian money laundering.

Lord that was disturbing. What were they thinking?
If most of the price of that monstrosity actually went to the craftspeople that built it I guess I’d be okay with it. But it’s probably 75% markup.

Time to get out the guillotines.
This one of those houses I was reading about that comes pre-stocked with a wine collection, art collection and car collection, isn’t it? (Because, apparently, people with huge amounts of money also have no taste of their own.)
Now that’s Trumpian!
The new, Trumpian Bond villains are a particularly crass sort .
That’s a pretty narrow demographic… like nano-thin narrow.
It’s like someone who doesn’t know anything about porn got together with someone who knows nothing of luxury to make luxury porn.
The irony is that for a house this expensive, the quality of the fixtures and furnishings (and the house itself) is pretty much irrelevant.
Probably have a separate house for that.
I’m sure it’s worse that that, even. I believe this is one of these houses that’s being promoted as being “curated” - that is, it’s fully furnished, stocked, decorated and ready to be lived in by someone with no identity of their own. You’re paying for luxury contents, but also the “curatorship” provided.
