What a ridiculous waste of money! All I can think about is how many starving children just one of those houses could feed. What is the point in having a house like that, other than bragging rights and showing off? The sad thing is, for all the money, I don't even find most of those homes beautiful and some are downright ugly!
When I look at houses like that, all I can think about was how much good I could do if I had enough money to afford a house like that. I have a dear friend in Uganda who dreams of building a school for the children in her organization. She said even $1 million dollars would be enough to built 6-10 schools and staff them.
