For just $75 million and change, this 30-bedroom, 23-bath home near Orlando, Florida could be yours. It comes with a children's theater, a roller rink, a baseball field, two tennis courts, three swimming pools, 11 kitchens, and a 20-car garage, and each of the 23 bathrooms has a fabulous view and a Jacuzzi. Who owns such a palace? A time-share mogul. He and his Florida beauty-queen wife, who employ a team of five nannies to take care of their kids, call the house "Versailles." According to The Telegraph, they've already had some interest from potential buyers in Russia and Asia, despite the fact that the house isn't finished and will require another $25 million in construction costs before anyone can move it.
Local estate agent Kelly Price said "Versailles will probably be a house that will appeal to the uber-wealthy that don't ever think about the issues of money.
"It might be a second or third. For all we know, it could be a seventh or eighth home."

Of course it was built by a man who earned millions from selling worthless timeshares to people who could not afford it. I oversee bankrupt proceedings .... timeshares are the often the purchase that caused the downfall. Most were told the property would pay for itself by renting and selling would be no problem. Both, the biggest lie told by timeshare sales. Hope this guy never finds a buyer ... would serve him well.

All that money and it still doesn't have a 1:1 bedroom / bathroom ratio - what are we living in the 70's?

Or they can just sell it as time shares! ;)

For some reason I imagine them pronouncing it "Ver-sales." I don't know why.

I'm looking for a word... What’s more than "stupidly excessive"?
