El Leon is the first of two currently built Mangusta GranSport 54’s. The third is under construction in Italy and should be completed later this year or early next. Stock price is 34 or 35 million Euro.
It’s a sweet ride if you can get into one.
I’m thinking it would take around $50 million to acquire, staff, and moor/dock this puppy for 10 years or so, It’s on my hit list when I win the Power Ball.
Of course a 54 meter boat is not the first major thing I’d spring for, the top of my list (once I cash in and make distributions) is a little spot on the Tennessee River. This is what works for me:
It’s almost 18,000 sf and weighs in at $9 million. The good new is that the curtains stay (as does everything else). Great photo’s here.
There is a hell of a back story associated with the house. It seems that the guy that built/owns it was a plumber or pipe fitter out of Muscle Shoals who ‘done good’. Flush with cash he begins building this thing on 27 acres. He likes fast cars and HD’s and so builds a huge garage/shop a little ways off from the house and throws up a couple of those fake old school pumps in front of his garage.
Well one of the neighbors, a male Karen, came snooping around and began investigating the pumps peeking into the building. Big mistake for three reasons: 1st, they are inop. 2nd, you really shouldn’t be wandering on a country boys property. And 3rd, you never want to fuck with someone that can afford to hire a good lawyer.
So now the place is up for sale because, I’m guessing here, The owner (David Duplissey) freaked out at a race track that he owned and beat the shit out of an employee that tried to boss David around. He lost the track and the house is now up for sale.
That’s the way we do it in the south boys and girls. It’s just like living in a trailer; easy come and easy go (in stormy weather).
My best guess at the cost to acquire, staff, and maintain the property for 15 years: Just short of $18 million.
A drop in the bucket.
