Good thing he's a billionaire. He can still buy a real home with the rest of the money. Those Chateaux homes are based on centuries-old designs. Who wants to return to the dark ages ? And if I was going to spend 100 million on my residence, and I actually wanted to live a century or two backwards, I'd buy a real French Chateaux in France and at least have access to the vineyards & cheese dairies. There is a lot more "comprehensive" technology to building a truly nice home than simply going with the "French" motif. My uncle Henry, who was the king of the soft drink business in the USA during the 1930's pioneered the new home design with his estate in Corral Gables, Florida. When I was there I took notes, including the design of his rare orchid green house centered in the gardens on his estate. Some of the species or plants & trees were one of a kind from the Amazon....Alfred-
