1. Nothing graces a $37million mansion like dead animals.

2. Regardless. That's an awesome kitchen.

You got to be impressed that this guy might be one of the few who won’t be dirt poor in a few years like so many other winners. Clearly, he’s going to manage better.

3. I like animals that are living.

5. They could be stuffed. I know a woman who stuffed her cat after it died.

4. Kitchen doesn't look like it is part of a $37 million property.

6. The 50,000 acres probably accounts for a lot of that value.

Not sure about SD but several friends up in Idaho/Montana talk about many of the big high value farms out there have houses that aren't over the top opulent like you would see in a 37million Long Island home (on 2.4 acres).

Don't really know - none of my bazillionaire friends invite me to their places...lol...but it makes sense.

7. Yes I thought the same.

The value must be in the land, livestock, outbuildings.

The house looks ordinary.

8. I don't think that's a photo of the kitchen,

but rather of the bar in the rec room (of the guest quarters?).

9. That makes more sense.

Or maybe the staff kitchen.
