That kind of wealth is just obscene.

Check out the street satellite view from Google maps - there are some massive houses along there - that one isn't even the biggest!!

Stupid price just for the fact it's within the M25 (wow). Go to the US and you could buy about 30 properties of equal specification to that for your £50million, and you wouldn't have as many neighbours to worry about.

Why is such wealth considered to be obsene though? ,

What if the person actually worked for it? ,

And what motivation do people have if wealth is limited, communism is a fantastic example , everybody is 'equal' why should I be manager of a factory when I take on X amount of risk for the same pay? (note that bribes, luxuries etc are considered to be extra wealth).

There is a saying in biz , you never get rich working for somebody else.

So like if you want a slice of the pie why don't you look for a niche in a market and try to occupy it and thus take the risk yourself to become that person?.

If you go into Maplins you'll see this anti car sleeping device I made a similiar device in 1996 , but never took on the risk and thus I never marketted it, sure it may have made the owner a few £1000, but as said I didn't take the risk and therefore I never got it.

March/April I'll be director of a tiny limited company, to try hawk something I thought of and have a working prototype of. I reckon the company will make nothing for first year so I can keep me day job.

Kazakhstan is definitely an up and coming country.
Just look at Astana for proof of that.

Think theres a bit of a difference between a lottery win and someone who can spend £50mill on a house then another £30mill doing it up. Just how much have they got?

I wouldn't want such wealth. It doesn't bring you happiness. lots of toys maybe, but thats no fun when the only people playing with em are hanger on and parasites who you attract because of your wealth. Nah. not for me.

[Shay HTFC]

I think its that some people have so much wealth that they don't know what to do with it. When it reaches that stage it becomes a joke, when not 2 miles from that house there will be people living 10 to a flat in damp filled rooms.

£80m for a done up house that could make a massive difference to many thousands of lives!
