It has as much style and charm as your average office complex. What an ugly and disgusting waste of land, materials and energy.
At first glance, I thought it was a deluxe Jiffy Lube.
It is shaped like a battleship.
Conspicuous consumption squared.

Looks like a fortress. I guess we know where to find one billionaire after the zombie apocalypse ;-)
foul doesn't even begin to describe it. however i did spot an attempt at being green. any one catch the solar panels? lol trying to erase their gigantic carbon foot print?
This is how the 1% live.I wonder how low property taxes he pays.Bomb it.
Let me live in it for 5 years, then I'll pass judgement.
Ah well, at least he kept a lot of people employed building it, and the staff must be huge to maintain it. If you've ever stayed at a Hyatt hotel, he thanks you.
I feel sorry for him. He will never know the secrets of simplicity.
That house is obscene...
Must be very lonely in that big catastrophe ... even lonelier in his/her soul ... Trailer Park Cyclist said it best

I just visited Mr. Pritzker and it's actually a cozy, warm home...feels more like 20,000 sq feet instead of 50
Oh my God that is a beautiful house!
Oh you don't know who's much I would love to live in it.
But like Diane said a waste of energy and land space...
Other than that it's beautiful. Ever been in it Lloyd?
