The house of the modern Robin Hood, Bill Gates, has a value of $125 million.
Some features:
- If a guest wishes, the music of his or her choice will follow him or her throughout the house - even at the bottom of the pool.
- There are no visible electrical outlets.
- Sensors in the floor can track a person to within 6 inches. The system is monitored at the Mircosoft Redmond campus.
- The master bathtub can be filled to the right temperature and depth by Gates as he drives home from work.
- The theater was built underground in a concrete shell.
- It is rumored that the house was designed on a Macintosh.
- An existing cedar tree was determined by Gates to be in the wrong location and moved 6 inches.
- Visitors are surveyed upon entrance and are given a microchip that sends signals throughout the house to adjust temperature and other conditions according to preset user preferences.
- Some of the interior passage doors weigh over 350kg, but are balanced for easy use.
That isn't a house, it's a complex. Christ, it's bigger than some villages!

I'm sure he's compensating for something else.
