I was a traveller. but not poor.

There have been many other places where i had a lot more fun blowing money.

sure the Mediterranean sea is nice and all those nice cars, and some ultra hot mysterious girls hotter than victoria's secret, but you never see them or only glimpses of 1/4 of their faces as they get off their yachts cuz they're only visible to the billionaires lol.

but i'd still rather be surrounded by a different type of people and culture. I wouldn't mind going there for a week tops once every decade or so. anything after that is starting to get ultra boring.

Monaco is an amazing place to visit but I'm not sure I'd want to live there.

Nice is a short train ride away and I'd rather live there instead.

250 mill and you still have to live in a building with other people. No mention of how many car parking spots you get. Rather own a house with a race track out back.

In his front yard, this man built America's largest private racetrack

Could not agree with you more! I would much rather live in Nice and commute to Monaco for a night of fun.

Better yet, I'd go further east and settle in a little town called Cassis... I'd kill to have those giant mussels and local rose wine for lunch (and dinner) again :megusta:

I agree. For $250 mil you don't even own land. Give me 10 $25 million properties spread around the world and I would be much happier.

I'm SURE for $250m parking isn't an issue.

And it's also a $250m view...and the building is probably well staffed.

if i had that much money, i would have built an apocalyptic proof underground house with all weather proof boat/submarine and helis standing by. Your property is gonna look good now but when shit hits the fan, there wont be anything left standing in a tsunami or asteroid slamming into the city:fullofwin:

Parking is always an issue with Condo's. I would Rather have a race track for a view.

Also owing 7 or 8 houses would be a pain the the butt. You would have to buy multiples of everything and just managing it all would be hard.

Race track, hockey rink, basketball court. What ever you like. I would rather live on my own piece of land than a Condo if I had that much money.

Guys, whoever ends up buying this $250 mill condo, it certainly won't be his only piece of real estate.

Actually the real reason people live there is to profit. If you're bored, go on YouTube and look up "Piers Morgan on Monaco."
The apartments there are all PUNY but go for such huge prices because Monaco is a tax free country -- if you owned a huge multi-national company and lived in the UK or USA etc, you'd have to pay craploads in income tax, whereas you pay nothing by declaring non-resident and living in Monaco. So although the pads cost shitloads, the people intentionally live there for several years to profit!
