I feel like I heard they were trying to put it on the market or it's currently on the market? What an awful investment. Very few people in Baton Rouge are dropping that kind of bread on anything residential.

Because I'm sure you have the asking price of 18 million lying around.

In the end they will end up losing millions through price reductions.

A baton rouge couple both dentists recently bought it for 6 million.
When you reach a certain level of wealth you can do things because you just want to, ROI is not part of the decision.

That's a huge fricking loss. What does being rich have to do with being stupid? Wealthy people stay wealthy by not making poor financial decisions.

To an extent, that's true. But as someone upthread stated, you can get so wealthy that you can afford to throw away a few million here and there and not miss it too much. If you take a loss on your house, well, you got to enjoy living in it for several years, and maybe that's worth knocking your net worth down half a percentage point.

I get what you're saying, but we're not talking about a million or even two million dollar loss. The house was sold for 1/3 of what they paid for it? This is why I am in favor of an inheritance tax. People who don't earn their fortune see no value in keeping it.

When you are worth several hundred million dollars with annual income from assets in the millions you can burn down a 18 million dollar house, never miss it and be just as wealthy the next month.

Now that's just genius. While we're at it let's pay professional athletes minimum wage, tax lottery winnings at 100%, and prevent parents from buying Christmas presents for their kids.

Your way of thinking is flawed. It's the reason government spending is out of control in this country.

It's a write off for them.

They just write it off.

All these big companies they just write off everything.

Hundreds of people had decent paying jobs for several years building the house, many local businesses and suppliers made money from the construction of the house. The owners did not get their money back, but it accomplished more for the local economy than anything the government could do with the same money.
