1. $1,299 for something I'd be ashamed to admit I had made in my own garage? Are they NUTS?!?! nt

2. Here's one that will make you even sicker

A Wall Street Journal article about all the properties Larry Ellison owns. The guy's picture should be in the dictionary under the word ostentatious.

5. Not just trophy homes either..
Trophy cars too, this is Ellison's custom made AC Cobra, carved from billet mostly, unobtainium everything.

6. This is why new money generally dies broke

8. I read the article and found that he may not be a nice person

Some people just have too much money

10. That looks like something Cousin Eddie from the National Lampoon movies
would relax in with a Natty Light.
