$295M LA mansion with 49 bathrooms is everything wrong with wealth inequality in America right now
Look, I'm trying really hard not to be bitter here, but I just watched a tour of this absolutely absurd Bel Air mansion and I'm literally angry-laughing at how disconnected from reality this is. While most of us are struggling to afford a starter home, someone built a house with FORTY-NINE bathrooms. That's not a typo. 49. BATHROOMS.
You want to know what kind of wild excess we're talking about? This place has its own private nightclub, because apparently taking a Uber to a regular club like the rest of us peasants is too much work. There's a commercial juice kitchen in the "wellness center" (eye roll) because God forbid you drink Naked Juice from the grocery store like some commoner.
The absolute kicker? This monstrosity took TWELVE YEARS to build. Twelve years! In that time, they could've built actual housing for hundreds of families, but instead, we get this 105,000-square-foot monument to excess with a moat. Yes, a MOAT. Because nothing says "I'm completely out of touch" quite like surrounding your mega-mansion with a medieval water feature.
And don't even get me started on the bowling alley AND movie theater AND putting green combo. It's like some billionaire played real-life Monopoly and decided "you know what this needs? Everything. It needs everything."
$295 million. That's the asking price. Think about that number for a second while you're paying your rent that increases every year. I can't even imagine having that kind of money, let alone spending it on a house with more bathrooms than my entire apartment complex.

But hey, at least they have a really nice view of the city where normal people live, right? 🙄
