Well at least it's only one fridge.

Why no Sub-Zero? Seems kinda silly with that fridge in that kitchen.

I have no idea what brand their fridge is or why they chose it.

Wow, that is amazing. If I had friends/family like that, I'd feel too ashamed/embarrassed/inferior to ever invite them over to my own place.

He's actually very down to earth and unassuming. We grew up in the same 2400 SF middle class home in the valley. A home destroyed by 4 boys. 😀

If you ever met him you'd never guess he was that wealthy.

There's actually a reason for the symmetry.
They are religious Jews.
Milk and meat do not mix in the kitchen so they have seperate dairy and meat sections.

My brother's old house was built by Jews. They only had two dishwashers.
 
My home. I am in the process of building a new one, so this will be on the market soon.

For someone 'insanely wealthy', that home is modest. My engineer buddies (and even a few MBA guys) have comparable homes and are nowhere near the 'insanely wealthy' status.

It's not necessary to have everything built seperately, there are ways around it, it's just much more convenient.

And I ran out of hosting room at bbzzdd. 🙁

The house is 18,000 square feet, 1/10th of a mile long. 100mb of pictures and I still don't have pics of all of it.

Denise Richards lives at the bottom of the hill behind his house. I watched that house be built.

Click to expand...

He was CEO of a networking company. Sold that and recently started another focusing on wireless.

He's self made, just as I am. No family money whatsoever.

Your brother needs to water the lawn.
Click to expand...

The lawn looks fine now. It was winter and the sod was just laid that week.

The lawn is the same kind used on greens and trimmed just as short. So it takes quite a while to get just right. It looked like hell for the first year or two.

what city is this?

Ventura County, CA

LOL!
 
My uncle married the daughter of the man who sits as Vice Chairman of not of a single branch, but the entire bank of Wells Fargo. Their estate is nice to. 😉
 
well theres a difference between bling and being tastefully designed. the exterior is bland..too bland. i guess its better than vulgar though.

interior is nice though

He has a Masters in EE and an MBA. He's a geek turned CEO. He got the MBA AFTER he started the company. I remember being at COMDEX in Atlanta in 1990 and he slipped out to go to the library to write up something while working for his MBA.

Without his original brilliant product idea, he's be just another tech in the back with a t-shirt and holey jeans.
