Nothing graces a $37million mansion like dead animals. twodogsbarking Dec 2022 #1

Regardless. That's an awesome kitchen. jimfields33 Dec 2022 #2

I like animals that are living. twodogsbarking Dec 2022 #3

They could be stuffed. I know a woman who stuffed her cat after it died. jimfields33 Dec 2022 #5

Kitchen doesn't look like it is part of a $37 million property. Irish_Dem Dec 2022 #4

The 50,000 acres probably accounts for a lot of that value. CincyDem Dec 2022 #6

Yes I thought the same. Irish_Dem Dec 2022 #7

I don't think that's a photo of the kitchen, royable Dec 2022 #8

You got to be impressed that this guy might be one of the few who won’t be dirt poor in a few years like so many other winners. Clearly, he’s going to manage better.

Not sure about SD but several friends up in Idaho/Montana talk about many of the big high value farms out there have houses that aren't over the top opulent like you would see in a 37million Long Island home (on 2.4 acres).

Don't really know - none of my bazillionaire friends invite me to their places...lol...but it makes sense.
