First up on #FridayNightZillow: A Kentucky prepper paradise built by a Republican liquor store magnate after OBAMA was elected, complete with a $3M ☢️NUCLEAR/BIOLOGICAL/CHEMICAL FALLOUT SHELTER.
Per the Lexington Herald-Leader, liquor store magnate C. Wesley Morgan said he just wanted to feel safe and also worried about civil war.
He later served one term as a GOP state rep, where, per the paper, he sponsored bills helpful to liquor stores.

Morgan ran against Mitch McConnell in last year's GOP primary, winning a little over 6% of the vote. The house was featured during a previous listing by Zillow Gone Wild, prompting the newspaper story, which is worth your 99 cents.
This is a LOT of Mountain House food for hiding out from whatever Obama was going to unleash.... Strawberries, anyone? #FridayNightZillow
The top of the megamansion above the bunker is nicer than most, and comes with 200 acres in case, I suppose, you need to fend for yourself and rebuild society after the apocalypse.
House also comes with its own natural gas wells - I DID say it was a prepper paradise - plus underground propane tanks, water tanks, water well, generators, geothermal, 100-yard escape tunnel, backup escape tunnel.
They probably could have cleaned the garage, assuming that's what this is #FridayNightZillow. I for one would rather have seen some pics of the sweet escape tunnels!
I assume the tanning bed -- I think that's what this is? -- would be helpful if you are stuck underground for a year waiting for the radiation to die down? #FridayNightZillow
Things are cheaper in Missouri. $298K buys you 5BR, 2BA, 2K sf, *6 acres* and a Tatooine-inspired exterior. The interior is as boring as they get, sadly. But I promised affordable Star Wars, and I deliver #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/10…
Sweet pool, but really, if I'm spending close to $8M I don't want green tile. The kitchen is excellent. Sort of a Chipotle restaurant vibe? #FridayNightZillow
Up next, a fantastic megamansion in Orem, Utah. It's amazing and over-the-top, but you'll want to hire somebody else to clean these sinks.
$5.68M / 4BR / 9BA / 13+K sf #FridayNightZillow#SinkZillowzillow.com/homedetails/13…
Homes this size and cost basically all have these mini-movie theaters these days. I guess you don't want to have somebody say "you spent SIX MILLION DOLLARS on a place and DIDN'T EVEN GET A MOVIE THEATER?" #FridayNightZillow
The rest of the house is exactly as you'd expect for an $11M house for either a bookie or a sports gambler. When only six screens will do! #FridayNightZillow
A few more pics #FridayNIghtZillow. The next Vegas house is much more insane.
$15M is pricey, sure. But your guests' eyes are guaranteed to bug all the way out of their heads. #FridayNightZillow
This bedroom is just insane. It just screams "VEGAS" to me. But in a good way. #FridayNightZillow
I am a little confused by this. Is it a bathroom? A tube of some sort? #FridayNightZillow
Condo fee is only $4,579 a month. Jeez. #FridayNightZillow. I think it's time for some affordable housing. Plan to wrap up tonight a little later with a mansion once owned by a guy who was convicted of trying to fix an NFL championship game. #HistoryZillow!
AFFORDABLE HOUSING is still available in America. Punxsutawney, PA. Have a place to stay on Groundhog Day. $35K. 3BR, 1BA. Appears to be habitable.
Estimated payment $188/month. Cheaper than renting storage, or a parking space in DC. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/12…
This next house used to be a jail. It's not amazing, but the price sure is. $78,900 in Wisconsin for 4BR, 3BA. Hope you don't mind jail vibes! Estimated monthly payment: $459. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/82…
Victorian, 4300 square feet for, checks notes, $95,000!!! What am I missing here?
Warning: the pics will make you want to spend $95K to hire Marie Kondo to declutter the heck out of it.
I'm not sure my eyes will recover quickly from this New Jersey house. Pink, pink and MOAR PINK. Nice exterior and pool. #FridayNightZillow Found by my sister-in-law: zillow.com/homedetails/71…
Wife just found mansion w/*INSANE* /nightclub basement complete with pole, lights, masks on bathroom wall. Plus purple grotto, swim-up bar. It's bonkers. $6M, New Jersey #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/43…
Totes normal to have a pole in the middle of your basement surrounded by lights, some Blues Brothers mannequins dancing. Plus, of course, remember my rule: If you're spending $6M on a suburban mansion, it's gotta have a movie theater. #FridayNightZillow
Wrapping up #FridayNightZillow w/a Palm Springs mansion "originally constructed for Jerry Zarowitz, of Caesar's Palace"
He also was convicted of trying to fix an NFL championship game. Sinatra and two presidents (unnamed) hung out here.
If you made it this far, let me know which homes you loved, hated, loved to hate. Otherwise, see you in the next one and thanks for reading! #FridayNightZillow

I've still never seen a swimming pool home theater like this one. This #FridayNightZillow also featured the gaudiest home in Georgia - dubbed the "Palace of Gaud" - and an insane wedding venue featuring gold toilets...
There's a part of Mississippi where lots of the most expensive properties are just areas for killing stuff and the pics are of people posing with the dead animal heads. Not my scene, really.
Instead of touting, say, a nice pool or a range or a grotto, they tout the quality of the antlers and things like an on-site automated dead-deer processing facility.
I mean, the last picture in this listing is **literally just a bunch of deer heads in trash bags in the back of a pickup truck.** zillow.com/homedetails/11…
Awesome Ohio mansion is back on the market with one insane sink, a lot of gorgeous wood, a bowling alley and some nightmare-fuel bear-chasing-man artwork.
The spaces in this home are just gorgeous. Copper tub seems a little extravagant what with soaring metal prices. I'm a sucker for fantastic wood floors and turrets; you could hold an old-fashioned ball for the ages here.
There are multiple kitchens, endless ballrooms. Less tacky gaudy junk than usual in this size mansion.
