The billionaire philanthropists Bill and Melinda Gates have purchased an exquisite beach house outside San Diego-splashing out on $43 million for an oceanfront mansion in the coastal town of Del Mar, CA. The prodigious purchase price makes it one of the largest sales in the area's history.
The luxurious six-bedroom, four-bathroom, 5,800-square-foot home was sold to the Gates family by Madeleine Pickens, a former wife of the billionaire oil baron T. Boone Pickens, according to the Wall Street Journal. The home originally landed on the market for $48 million in January 2019.
The oceanfront property was built by the architect and designer Ken Ronchetti in 1999. According to the listing details, the house is well-known as a city landmark and is considered "one of the most prominent coastal contemporary beach homes on the West Coast."
The elegant residence comes with 120 feet of private ocean frontage.
Wide windows throughout the living spaces open to the back patio, offering a seamless flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces. The large patio also provides awe-inspiring vistas of the Pacific Ocean.

This is the guy (Traitor) that complains that American IT workers are too expensive to hire and imports scabs by the plane load from all over the 3rd world using H-1B visas. He will rot in hell one day.
I can’t wait for the video showing all the ice cream stocked in the freezer.
‘wood, stubble, hay’.....
Never let a crisis go to waste.
profits from his ‘dual use’ viruses and vaccines?
or just profits as kickbacks from the grants he gave to
engineer human murdering HIV-bat-pangolin RNA viruses?
Don’t be too harsh on them.
Life can be difficult when you’re trying to enslave mankind, and a sanctuary is deserved and needed.
Now we know where to send Ammon Bundy and his fellow patriots for his next demonstration.
Just like the Obamas. Well, except the Gates waterfront "cottage" makes the Obama "cottage" look like, well, a cottage.
More and more this “shelter in place” shutdown appears to be a scheme by W.H.O., DEMOCRATS, and DEEP STATE to bankrupt citizens, buy their properties and businesses, and turn them into serfs.
Forty Three Million. Looks bigger in words some how, unless you write it down $43,000,000,000. Back when we lived in the Seattle area, actually across Puget Sound from Seattle, in Bremerton. We worked in Seattle. Back then, little ole Billy Gates built himself a new house over on Lake Washington. They kept showing on local TV all the building, all the gadgets that he was putting in the new digs. A TV that came up out of the floor and of course all wired for use of his Microsoft stuff throughout the house. The BIG THING was little Billy threw a fit when he got told how much his taxes on said house that was about as big as the Kingdome!! It was massive. Of course that house was massive, right on the edge of Lake WA. His tax bill was like $35,000 property tax, some huge number like that. Bill threw his fit and then the public started to tell him to shut up and pay up, he could afford it. After a week or so, Bill shut up and paid his tax bill and continues to pay it I’m sure. As my property tax went up every year, I am sure Billy’s did also. Expect down in SoCal he is going to pay a bit of change on that property also. But, didn’t see or hear little Bill complaining about the taxes down in Southern Kaliforniastan. Just the right place for a flaming, massive liberal, like Mr. One World Government.
In the government building I work at occasionally they have “Shelter-In-Place” rules for active shooters etc. We call them Die-In-Place. Personally I’d rather be a moving target...
$43 million is a drop in the bucket for a guy with his BILLIONS!!
Gates sold you a crap PC to make money off of you, now he also wants you to feel guilty using it with electricity through carbon taxes ... like a drug dealer making the user feel more guilt and making it pay for rehab too!
