Palm beach island is absolutely insane. Have a friend who lives on the normal people side and I had to take a trip across the bridge when I visited. Of all the incredible homes, the grass/hedges always looking like pristine artwork was also incredible to see. These people who live right against the ocean have underground tunnels to get to their private beach, as they’re all incredibly wealthy and some are incredibly famous, so they don’t want to run into the regular folk while crossing the street. Their “Main Street” includes stores where you can just go in and order a yacht??? And there I was, walking around in a hanes t-shirt and basketball shorts.
Edit: there’s also some of the craziest poverty I’ve seen in America about a 15-20 minute drive inland from these people. Like man on crack yelling about the Bible and women openly selling themselves on the street type of poverty. The dichotomy is bizarre. (Jeffery Epstein had a thing for preying on young girls from this poverty stricken area)
So. This property was built in 2015 and then listed for like 100M. No one ever bought it, it was never lived in, then it was bought for like 50M in 2019 by some company and then sold for 110M a year later and demolished. Weird.
Anyways, it wasn't some historic build or anything. Just rich people doing rich people shit.

Imagine living in a world where you tear down something like this because 'It's not quite what I wanted'.
