In Honor of the College Admissions Scandal News
As the purveyor of content devoted to how insanely awful the very wealthy can be, even I was shocked at the news of a huge racketeering scandal in which lots of rich parents do crimes in order to get their kids into certain universities, instead of you know, doing legal crimes like paying for buildings or having lunch with the dean Carmela Soprano style.The scam was apparently orchestrated by a Mr. William Singer, whose organization The Key World...
Special McMansion Hell Roast: Los Angeles
You know what? It's Valentine's Day, I'm newly single and in a fowl mood, which is the perfect time for taking on an incredibly stupid house with the wrath of a thousand moody 25 year old suns.Somehow, this 5-bed, 7-bath LA House was NOT built in 1978 (it was built in 1991 by some time aliens). Fortunately, it can be yours for a middling $5 million USD which is conveniently only 4 million dollars more than any other house in Californi...
Happy Valentine's Day!
Today all of you, my patrons, are my special valentine!!
