i have a feeling they're going to have a very hard time selling that thing. they might as well just rent it out for weddings & bar mitzvahs.

Advertised as 3 bedrooms. I guess the initial report got it wrong.

No mention of the stripper pole?

I'm not sure you could have enough weddings and bar mitzvahs to cover the mortgage, although the young lads -- be they grooms or bar mitzvah boys -- might like the alleged stripper pole.

What's up with the "Myson towel rack"? Is that something that you really point out as a big plus in a $6 million dollar house? What is it?

And it can be all yours for "estimated payments" of $32,000/month.

This still blows my mind. Who builds a 10,000 sq/ft. house and then says it's "too much" house? Of course it is!

The kitchen does look incredible though. I wonder if it comes with a house chef?
