Having said that it seems the rich have little in the way of style, taste, interest in art, design, or in hiring genius to give them any or all of the above. If I had stolen even a billion dollars and this was all I had to show for it I would be humiliated to death. But then we see here thanks to Mams's particular brand of delicious genius, that rarely do the rich create, they just purchase and often the most bland.NewYorkQueerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09687588117326859562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-66011844031472158022009-09-11T06:46:50.654-07:002009-09-11T06:46:50.654-07:00Considering their means. . .

Maybe on some psychological level, knowing their real means prevented them from obtaining the level of living that "their" money would certainly have allowed them. After all, Bernie, if not his dear wife, knew inside himself that he didn't have the real and honest ability to make the money needed to live in the relative splendor they were living in. <br />Or then again, maybe living like that was just another cynical strategy for flying under the radar, not calling to much attention to themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-17670948038068244932009-09-11T05:50:53.532-07:002009-09-11T05:50:53.532-07:00After looking at the virtual tours, I found myself...After looking at the virtual tours, I found myself wondering if the (relatively) modest style was deliberate, so as to thwart suspicion that they were helping themselves to clients' money.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00334116269263474191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-21204381563545054062009-09-10T14:15:29.284-07:002009-09-10T14:15:29.284-07:00Fascinating pictures of the homes.

I like the exterior of the Palm Beach house, but the interior didn't really do anything for me. At least the penthouse has some comfort to it. <br /><br />Hope they all sell so that people can get back at least some of their money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
