Rush bought the first of what became his 3-acre estate in 1999 for $3.9 million. By 2001 he had acquired at least two neighboring parcels and a built a 24,000 square foot palatial mansion that looks out at 25o feet of ocean frontage. There are four additional structures on the estate, including a 24-hour guard station and Rush's custom-built broadcasting studio.

so why did he buy these homes ?...to what end?...just the rich being rich because they can...
Rush was indeed a pivotal person...
but think what he could have done with his money...he could have bought a few local tv stations or radio stations....
with that money he could have done a ton of good in the political arena....
the conservative rich don't seem to put their money where their mouth is.
