Absolutely no chance this ever happened.
What the hell are these people on? Huffing Mercury?

A place to post ridiculous posts from linkedIn.com
(Full transparency.. a mod for this sub happens to work there.. but that doesn't influence his moderation or laughter at a lot of posts.)

Not to mention that a property like this likely costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to maintain and pay tax on, if not milliona
And this picture isn't even real.
It's a fucking parody account.
Feel shame.
So this isn't a lunatic then... also not on LinkedIn...
That is correct and I hope the mods stick to keeping this place exclusively for real posts. "Close enough" makes places homogenous
It's a fucking parody account.
Use brain more.
Reddit was really bad with detecting sarcasm/parody/comedy, but Lemmy is on a whole new level of missing the joke.
I've seen multiple communities where people not only miss the obvious joke, but they get angry at how there's no joke. It's truly something to behold.
Maybe because there's no joke.
It's satire
"The joke is I can't afford this house"
Marvelous
No, the punchline is "I can't afford this house." It's humorous because the preceding story seems to build up to some anecdote about how having some money right now is less important than having more money later, or some other overdone trite non-observation, but it ends with the orator subverting your expectation that he can easily afford the house by admitting that not only can he not afford it, he in fact has no money and must find a way to make the entire $15,000,000 within one year.
Like all jokes, it's not funny if you don't get it, and if you only get it after someone explains it to you, it still won't be funny.
Some jokes are dumb.
It's clearly a joke, lighten up.
No, just regular mercury. It's still bad.
no the Huffingβ’ variety has more uhhh toxins
This is a parody account
Sell the home for 16 million.
Yeah buddy that's what getting a loan is. Except in reality, you get them from the bank.
Reality? Is that a different website from LinkedIn? What's the URL?
Who lives in something like this other than royalty? I honestly donβt understand the point of itβ¦.youβd never see 90% of it.
If money weren't an issue, I could understand it. You could invite friends and/or family to come over and stay as long as they'd like. If you wanted some time to yourself, they wouldn't even have to leave, they could just stay in one of the guest-houses for a while.
You could have any kind of special hobby room you wanted. Martial arts dojo? Sure. Home theater? Sure. Laser tag room? Sure. Dance studio? Why not? Kitchen with every kind of tool, multiple ovens, multiple stoves? Of course! Workshop? Why not. Cozy knitting room with every kind of yarn imaginable? Great!
Some kind of good cause you wanted to support? Give them an entire wing of the place. Feel bad for a marginalized group like refugees? Hand over one of the many buildings for their use.
Overall, the world would probably be a better place if no person / family had this much wealth. But, that doesn't mean that I'd hate to have a place like that if I happened to be insanely wealthy.
Great answer, thanks! A lot of things I hadnβt thought about. Maybe we should all go in with this guy, lol
(Yes I know itβs satire)
You guys keep falling for the same parody account.
