Feb 21, 2011The house of Lev Leviev is beautiful – especially the lighting! As for Warren Buffet it’s nice to know that money doesn’t always have to go to one’s head.
Is the picture of Mukesh Ambani’s house when it was in middle of being built or is that the final product?
That is how the house looks completed.
Just think how many starving people could be fed for the price of these houses
Leviev’s house looks wonderful, but that monstrosity that Ambani calls home….! Shows you that money can’t buy taste!
Leon Levine is another very humble self-made billionaire. His house is comparable to Warren Buffet’s.
its a shame that Warren B. can’t live a little nicer.
Please don’t talk about how many hungry people could be fed for the price of these houses unless you are currently feeding as many hungry people as you possibly can. All of these guys have probably fed more hungry people than you and feeding the world is not their responsibility and they don’t owe it to anyone to do that. Looking at how someone spent THEIR possessions and then saying what they should have done is a very covetous act. It’s like looking at some guy’s wife and talking about what you’d do with her. It’s lustful and prideful. Go make some money and then show us what you’d do.
Warren buffet’s home is beautiful of all. Amazed for his simplicity
