NJMLS# 2908472Yes, he bought a 12,000-square-foot house for $14.9 million in straight cash, which I assume he loaded in that rental truck seen parked in front of the entrance in the photo above. And it didn't even come with grass. Although even after blowing nearly 15 milly on the house, he still has $145 million left over for landscaping and various home furnishings. His life must suck.

I know all the zeros make it confsuing but its actually $100,000. Maybe it was a straight cash discount?

Oops ya, you are right.. the zeros did fool me..
That’s even better! But actually a lot more than I thought he paid for it.. So I guess it’s a wash
