boy, what i wouldn't give for some of these houses:

DAMN!



from ellison's house:
the 3,000-cubic-foot subwoofer that produces that movie-theater-quality sound? "It could be the world's largest subwoofer," marvels Green, who solved the problem by housing it in a former swimming pool beneath the home theater room. To work on the subwoofer, Green had to go through a hatch, submarine-style, then descend a ladder.

Since 1996, Ellison has summoned Green for six emergency repair runs. On one occasion, Green had just crawled into bed when Ellison's assistant called to say the boss was having one of his famous bouts of temper. "When I came into the living room, Larry said, 'I had some trouble. It's over there,' " recalls Green, who found the remote control in a smashed heap. When the remote failed to respond to his commands, Ellison had thrown it against the wall. After repairing the remote, Green advised Oracle's chairman to push the buttons more slowly.

Why do people worth millions of times what I'm worth have to act like this?

:confused:

but wouldn't it be nice to have that though guys??? the integrated control of everything would be great, but i could live w/out it. i just want the dedicated movie/listening room, and the screen that ellison has sounds good. only i'd want two rooms, one for home theater, one for just music listening....oh how i can't wait to be rich:)

I was going to say,people like that usually arent very happy.Having enough money to pay your bills and have a little left over is good.Saving is good.Having more money than some smaller countries isnt always that great a thing as someone,or group,always are trying to separate you from your money.
