A hilltop Los Angeles mansion with a retractable roof and two panic rooms has sold for $83 million, shattering residential sales records on the Westside of Los Angeles.

While the house was never formally offered for sale, it had once been marketed as an $88 million pocket listing, and was also briefly offered for rent at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, asking $350,000 per month. Real estate sources say the new owner’s fortune comes from their cryptocurrency holdings, though the name of the billionaire buyer—and whether they’ve already moved into the wildly extravagant mansion—publicly remains a mystery, for now.

McCabe?

But, does Hunter Biden really need such a fancy house?

[SaxxonWoods]

What’s $83 million in crypto “dollars”?

[BenLurkin]

More dollars than I have.

A lot more.

But, does Hunter Biden really need such a fancy house?

Well, no, but it's far beyond what most of us could ever afford and Hunter is so beloved by all that we get a great feeling knowing he's in there enjoying it for us.

A lot more.

Can you imagine the property taxes on it? But then again, if the dude is paying that much for a place, he probably isn’t concerned about property taxes.

Satoshi found his lost horde of coins?

Panic rooms? If I had that much money I’d install a MG 42 in every room.

Thanks to Prop 13, the Property Taxes should only be around a Million a Year.

Just 1% of assessed Value plus any Voter Approved Bond Payment Indebtedness.

Who said Housing in CA was unaffordable?

I’d rather have my own island, that isn’t subject to taxation. Buy the island, build a nice house and then live there and forget about the world and hope the world forgets about me.

Epstein and he are having a drink or two.

[BenLurkin]

So long as it has its own water supply.

[Hot Tabasco]

I turned it down since the plumbing was questionable..........

[Jonty30]

Most islands have plenty of rainfall. Just set up a bunch of rain barrels and water storage tanks. I don’t think, on a tropical island that water is a problem, if you have the right set up.

A secure energy supply is more of a priority, I think. Otherwise, you’re a very rich subsistence farmer.

But then you can’t send out for Chinese;
