KICKING OFF #FridayNightZillow tonight:
A fantasy Hawaiian estate, and seven other $50+ million estates profiled by Bloomberg Businessweek.
In 2015, just 1 U.S. home sold for $50M+.
In 2020: *42*
bloomberg.com/news/features/…
I think if I was determined to spend $59.5 million on a house, this one would definitely be in the running. These mega-expensive homes sometimes have whole glass walls that move out of the way. #FridayNightZillow
Insane laundry rooms. #FridayNightZillow
Like having a Costco fridge complex...in your house. I've never seen a home with this insane a setup. But if you're paying $59.5M, I guess you should expect this. #FridayNightZillow.
It really is spectacular. And without the gaudy gold leaf in all those wannabe Versailles McMansions I see. Here's the Zillow link if you want to check it out for yourself: zillow.com/homedetails/9-… #FridayNightZillow
Up next, a San Francisco fantasy mansion in a fantasy location patterned after Le Petit Trianon - Marie Antoinette's house. $17.3M. 9BR, 9BA, 18.8K sf. Take a a look. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/38…
I still don't understand bedrooms this big. #FridayNightZillow
When your bathroom is bigger than a NY efficiency. #FridayNightZillow
This is your back yard. In San Francisco. #FridayNightZillow
I'm confused by this bathtub. #FridayNightZillow
The salon is just spectacular. Can you imagine the hoity-toity soirees that happen here? You could film an American Downton here. #FridayNightZillow
I actually really like the kitchens, bathrooms, French-style garden. #FridayNightZillow
Fixer-upper of the week: $80K gets you a 4BR, 2,600 sf house to redo in New Hampshire. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/36…
UP next: AFFORDABLE HAWAII.

$165K!!

It, uh, has issues, but...HAWAII!!! #FridayNightZillow
zillow.com/homedetails/94…
Where else can you get 25BRs & 28BAs for just $2.5M! Let's buy this historic Chautauqua inn steps from the lake. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/25…
Kind of a fun castle in Canada with some cray cray bedrooms. <$5.5M Canadian. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/38…
This is *a chandelier.* Something you've never seen before every #FridayNightZillow!
UP NEXT: STATEN ISLAND MANSION. Fair warning to prepare your retinas because OMG... #FridayNIghtZillow
Welcome to a Staten Island estate as they say, LIKE NO OTHER. 🔥🤯👁️MY EYES!!!! #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homes/257-Poil…
Staten Island Vibe. #FridayNightZillow
This bathroom is just ... a lot. #FridayNightZillow Those sinks. #SinkZillow That mirror.
Bedroom has a heart shaped bed frame. Because of course it does! I spy a Chihuly-style chandelier. #FridayNightZillow
Staten Island Bar. Those chairs look a teesny bit uncomfy? #FridayNightZillow
Next up: Cray Cray Florida. If you aren't awake yet — you will be. You will be. #FridayNightZillow
This waterfront Panama City Beach palace is just bonkers in the extreme. Named "Villa Chimera"? <$10M. It's a hoot! 5BR, 9BA, >9K sf. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/37…
I just started laughing when I saw this room. Is that wrong? #FridayNightZillow
Let's hear it for appropriate TV placement. This is how you do it folks. If they'd put it over this fireplace I might have had an aneurysm. #FridayNightZillow
Party shower of the week. #FridayNightZillow. It looks like there might be four separate stations in there? Don't ask me why. I've never actually seen a party shower except on Zillow.
Every gaudy megamansion needs a giant marble ballroom with gold trim, right? #FridayNightZillow
Nice porch. #FridayNightZillow
I like the kitchen. Sure the hood is humongous but that frankly fits with the house. You've got two ovens, two sinks — one massively oversized — lots of counter space. #FridayNightZillow
This is a sink. #SinkZillow
Pretty sweet grill setup. Not sure about the longevity of that wood paneling though? #FridayNightZillow
This is sort of confusing. A giant safe, lined with what looks like cedar? Maybe for your really expensive designer clothes? Anyone out there know what this is for? #FridayNightZillow
I've never seen a bedroom ceiling quite like this one. #FridayNightZillow
When you buy a $10M house, you get his and hers closets like these. #FridayNightZillow
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall... #FridayNightZillow

The...uh...old TV there on the bottom right kind of harshing my Palazzo vibe here.
They just stuck a sauna in the corner of what appears to be a thowaway extra room. Huh. Killer views. #FridayNightZillow
My favorite view in this house is ... this one. My eyes needed the break. #FridayNightZillow.
You can have this sweet, sweet library for just $87 million. Cut that Beverly Hills song. I think this is the first time 90210 has ever made it to #FridayNightZillow?
8 BD/14BA, 21,800 sf.
zillow.com/homedetails/14…
This is what I imagine a Beverly Hills megamansion estate to look like, in all of its insanity. #FridayNightZillow
I don't know who lives here but it seems sort of like where you'd expect Hollywood royalty to live. Or maybe actual royalty. #FridayNightZillow
These rooms are really jaw-dropping. And hopefully, for a brief moment, take you away from your troubles into some enchanted fantasy world. #FridayNightZillow
This bedroom has a TV over the fireplace but I'll allow it. The TV is so huge and so far away from the bed it's probably OK. But this is probably, what, 1200 square feet? You could get lost in here. #FridayNightZillow
The pool has dolphin fountains. I'd insist on them if I were paying $87M for a house. #FridayNightZillow
This view has a "lording it over us" vibe. I assume this wasn't a high-smog day? #FridayNightZillow
May post a few more houses - we have many many more in the queue but it is getting late. The Hawaii house was found by Bloomberg, but most of the other houses tonight came from my wife and sister-in-law. #FridayNightZillow
This, er, recliner seat in a $2.6M Oklahama mansion is confusing me. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/10…?
Bargain of the night? $250K get you this 4BR, 4K sf house north of Pittsburgh. With turret. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/17…
This Victorian in Indiana gave my wife a whiff of haunted vibes. But it's pretty cool. $750K. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/57…
Need cheap? This cute tiny house in Colorado is just $140K, but has a catch*

*Home does not have a Certificate of Occupancy #FridayNightZillow
zillow.com/homedetails/66…
Sofa of the Gods. In a Cockeysville, Md. mansion. This big house isn't my style but maybe it's yours. $1.35M. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/9-…
Warning, looking closely at this dining room might result in a detached retina. Monsey, NY. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/6-…
Another church conversion. The price is right: $349K. Wisconsin. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/W9…
Anyone else getting some Romanov-era Russian decor vibes in this Brooklyn house? Note the gold accents on the toilet and the green throne chairs, etc. $3.2M. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/27…
Somebody in Colorado has a ... different sense of taste and design. What say you? $8M #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/9-…?
Going to leave it there for this edition of #FridayNightZillow. Hope you enjoyed it! Looking for more? Maybe you missed this awesome Elementary School conversion into a megamansion in Pa. —

This week's #FridayNightZillow kicks off with an over-the-top, "new construction" Florida mega-mansion for Ferrari aficionados. It's properly insane, and yet hangs together well. $55 million on "Billionaire's Row" in Delray Beach. Feature a private soccer field, several party showers, the most luxurious bar I've ever seen, and an assortment of other eye candy. So follow along and tell your friends... | Crossposting on BlueSky. If you had 300 years of a Senate salary, you still couldn't afford itImage
This bar is just totally nuts. #FridayNightZillow Image

Imagine walking in and the first thing you see is this slide and murals everywhere. This house is *relentless.* #FridayNightZillow Image
If you are spending $25M you don't want one of those cookie-cutter black and white dining rooms in all the Potomac McMansions. Here, you get dragons and looks like Chihuly? #FridayNightZillow Image

Thanks to @MolotovFlicker for sending this one in Image
This house is 6K sf in DC, and has a party shower. #FridayNightZillow. I thought it would be priced higher. <$3M. Not sure about the curb appeal. What say you? zillow.com/homedetails/57…Image

Two years ago, Congress considered banning 18-20 year-olds from buying AR-15s and other semi-automatic rifles after the Uvalde massacre, and some Republicans were briefly open to doing so but ultimately blocked including a ban in the bipartisan gun bill signed by Biden.
Then-Florida Governor Rick Scott signed a law raising the age to buy guns in his state to 21 after the Parkland massacre, but then opposed doing the same for the nation as a US Senator. He told reporters it was easier to do it at the state level.
McConnell actually enacted a law one day to raise the age to buy cigarettes to 21. But he didn't want to talk two years ago about a proposal to raise the age for buying rifles.

Soaring cost estimates for extending Trump tax cuts set up a crucial 2025 fight:
*CBO puts tab at $4.6 Trillion over next decade
*Fight comes with US debt far higher than 2017, interest costs ballooning & Social Security cliff looming...
w/@chrisjcondon
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
*Trump wants more tax cuts, along with massive new tariffs — aka a tax on imports — that would raise consumer prices but offset at least some of the cost.
*Biden wants to extend breaks <$400K a year paired with higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy.
If past is prologue, Congress will again play Santa Claus. With a few exceptions, Congress has repeatedly increased spending and cut taxes since 2001.
