This is the CRAY CRAY BONKERS MCBONKERSPANTS oceanfront mansion of Hawaiian Tropic founder Ron Rice, and this is #FridayNightZillow, back for at least one more night! $5.9999M. 12K sf. Florida, of course! (Warning: Taxidermy & risqué artwork). Let's GO!🧵zillow.com/homedetails/17…?
These chairs are insane. Everything about this room is insane. Zoom in at your own risk. #FridayNightZillow
Like I said, there's a LOT of taxidermy here. And marble. And ocean. And cringe-y photos of models everywhere. #FridayNightZillow
Master bedroom has nice ocean views, velvety carpet, a crazy shoe chair and, uh, excellent TV placement. #FridayNightZillow
!!!!! This is a bathroom !!!!!
Need to ice my retinas. Be right back. #FridayNightZillow
Nice open concept shower and sweet hot tub behind the sauna. Oh, and there are mirrors on the ceiling. It's got some Florida Playboy Mansion vibes. #FridayNightZillow cc: @CocaineDecor
So you've got a pool, a hot tub and a lap pool that goes under a bridge here. And, of course, more of the risque sculptures. #FridayNightZIllow
I forgot to mention the crazy bathroom actually has 2 hot tubs. Because, yeah. Deducting points for that pink/salmon color and the black toilet. #FridayNightZillow
The listing says multiple PAST US PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES have been to this mansion. No we really need to know WHO. I mean, we can guess, but... #FridayNIghtZillow
Of course that room has a gold ceiling. It also has a glass box elevator sort of like Willy Wonka. Either you love this sort of thing or you might be experiencing a migraine right now (sorry!) #FridayNIghtZillow
On the outside it's sort of a normal mansion. But is that razor wire? #FridayNightZIllow
Apparently it wasn't razor wire, just electric cord violations. Btw, here's some backstory on the late Ron Rice, including the silver bucket he mixed Hawaiian Tropic in via @bubbaray90
Fixer-Upper of the Week. This beauty is just $35K. But it's a total gut job on the inside I'm afraid. Pulaski, Illinois, you're on #FridayNightZillow! zillow.com/homedetails/40…
This one is already pending but thought you'd like to gawk at it. $5.9M. Inspired by the Farnsworth House. They used 60 tons of steel for this thing. Dallas. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/11…
Our Showstopper tonight is a 23BR, 15K sf Boston showpiece. The Ayer Mansion is "the only Tiffany-designed home in the world" per the listing. $14.995M. Needs more pics! #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/39…
My wife found our Showstopper tonight from her hospital bed. I hope #FridayNightZillow has been a pickmeup and break from reality for you as it has been for me. Most of the other homes tonight from my sister-in-law and tipsters.

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 it
So #FridayNightZillow is back with a BANG! This is the Bonkers McBonkerspants Mansion of the Year! $25M. BOCA. Warning: You'll need to ice your retinas. 209 pics of overstuffed insanity! Crossposting on BlueSky and Threads. buff.ly/3OcGdfc?https:…
Imagine walking in and the first thing you see is this slide and murals everywhere. This house is *relentless.* #FridayNightZillow
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
"One of the most beautiful Earthships ever built"
Welcome to #FridayNightZillow. $725K. New Mexico. Runs on rainwater and solar panels. Grow your food in your own greenhouse. Enjoy! zillow.com/homedetails/19…
Thanks to @MolotovFlicker for sending this one in
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…
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.
Tonight's #FridayNightZillow is kicking off with a *House of the Year* contender. It's amazeballs! We just need to crowdfund $2.795M. We get 9,825 square feet of sheer madness on 36 acres in gorgeous Plymouth, Minnesota! I love it!!! INSANE sinks, WEIRD art, WILD ceilings, AMAZING kitchen, views, colors galore, a pond, a party shower and much, MUCH more. Several of you sent me this gem! 🧵 zillow.com/homedetails/51…
