We're all for indulgent behavior, but even we think spending $750 million for a home is a bit excessive. It was recently reported that a home somewhere in the French Riviera called the Villa Leopolda has sold for three-quarters of a BILLION dollars to some rich Russian dude. So what makes this home worth so much money? Well, yes its big, and beautiful, and located on the French Riviera, and built by a Belgian King in 1902, but truly nothing rationale justifies the high purchase price. It's not like the home is built of solid gold and coated with saffron paint. The reason the villa went for such a high price is simply due to the hubris of the uber-rich, which by the way, we hope to be a part of someday. Of course, this Russian tycoon is a modest mouse when you compare him to the Indian jackass who's building a $2 billion home (we suspect he's somehow related to Crew Member Tandori).
