agree with the above poasters that for your kind of money you should be able to get a really killer unique place, but you have such terrible taste you end up with a mcmansion in a basic ass neighborhood. it's hard to comprehend.

Like gun to the head who makes more money the Ferrari dealership or the Honda one? No one creative is passionate about Hondas. I met a rich as fuck immigrant family who came here in the 80s to work in nursing homes and wipe old people's asses. They now own a nursing home empire. This is the typical rags to riches story. People with mettle and grind and hyperfocus on their business. You're right Eisner's case is rare. He oversaw the company during a classic period of immense creative and financial success. These people are insanely rare.

Most people who have taste and vision and are capable of great beauty have no ambition, drive, or practical sense. And most people who are rich enough to design the Taj Mahal live in ugly shitboxes and would never notice the difference.

But you're right about one thing. The elites of yore tried to emulate old money and buy class. They hired artisans. Today? Not so much. It's Queen of Versailles shit. Upjumped proles who think luxury is you can buy anything at Wal-Mart. There does seem to be a cultural shift where no one is embarrassed about being tacky. No one is competing with the House of Windsor. Really does seem like everything has changed. Age of social media and too many immigrants. The cultural decline of WASPs. Lots of explanations but it does seem like we're headed headlong into Idiocracy. Just remember that the rich don't typically ascend on artistic or creative merit. It's usually some asshole who pounded a single successful idea into oblivion.

It's funny my father who is a wealthy boomer with a lifelong net zero interest in materialism whatsoever the one thing he judges people hard on is their suits. He owns one dress watch, he has never bought a sportscar. But he is ruthless about tacky suits. He can look at a suit in the blink of an eye tell you what's wrong with it. He keeps a mental list of whose suits are Right and Wrong. Wrong suits are basically a crime against humanity. They are Rules goddamnit. He says people who don't have the right suit he can't take seriously and aren't worth listening to. It's funny that's how I feel about people who believe in trans kids. A full write off. That's how he is about suits. If someone is on TV with an ill fitting suit he has to leave the room. Call me when they have a good suit.

Rich people don't even know or care about hi-fi. They can't even tell the difference. A lot of them that I know are drunks and they care about cars and travel and booze. Part of the problem is there's no one to impress. Having a gorgeous pad impresses no one. Knowing a bunch of influencers and being on vacation all time is the currency. Richmos love to tell you about famous people they know. Never once heard about a hi fi setup.

And why don't you get a built-in aquarium if that's one of your hobbies? I think you'd enjoy it.

100 IQ Redditor: idgaf, no one will ever notice. Only idiots notice minor details

High IQ billionaire savant: if the inside of the cabinet no one will ever see isn't perfect, then why would anyone buy iPhone Pro Max from my company *pays Johnny Ives millions to fix it* meanwhile family forced to sit on the floor due to nofurniture

In any case, I assumed it was at least a semi-serious hobby. If not, no big deal.

Many wealthy people don't spend too much; they spend too little on the right things. They mistakenly keep optimizing for more wealth, security, and optionality long after money has stopped being the real constraint. It becomes irrational frugality: passing up spending on time, ease, health, relationships, experiences, or meaningful projects that would do more for their well-being than another dollar saved.

but he just renovated it. and it looks like he used the cheapest, lowest quality finishes around. everyone with any taste in southern california (who either outgrew or can't afford nice architecture and is relegated to a mcmansion) puts a lot of effort into finishes and decor that make their place personal and beautiful. but when you're an empty fraudster inside, you don't do that.

Still fucking stupid and soulless, but at least has the benefit of having finishes that don't automatically read as cheap, and has the kind of stuff he would like like a theater and a pool.

What's crazy is that he would appear not to live like a miser, exactly, but rather he has the tastes of an actual child, who would never invest in creating a beautiful space but instead fill it with toys.

He should buy a Charger with a scat pack and wrap it in neon.

i can never not laugh about how, on top of everything else, his pictures are so reliably terrible. like he just doesn't try whatsoever even when phone cameras make it so easy to take perfect pictures.

Its got a lot of space. That's the key thing. Its a great home for a single dad. I'm actually surprised you can get one of those Calabasas for $1.7 mil or whatever it was.
