I think we can safely call this the "Pinnacle of Conspicuous Consumerism."

I went in mid-June past one of Abramovich's largest houses in Europe ... and this was located in France ... and not directly visible from the road or so .. but from the mountains could see the house that was more like a mansion. .. and the price of around one billion U.S. Dollar....for some, it's peanuts.

On one hand anyone should be able to buy what ever they wish with their own money.

But, I can't help thinking of goodly things that could have been done with that money.
