      Sure, you can aspire to this level of conspicuous consumption, but understand that Douw Steyn is a complete POS. He singlehandedly destroyed the integrity of the insurance industry.

      The man-made waterfalls are called aqueducts, or at least styled and or function as such, they’re also rather cheap compared to trying to make a synthetic waterfall.

      Yeah it does, it just comes with neighbours who use Binoculars to spy on you because half of your house is a glass window that lets anybody look inside your house, so you never really have privacy....

    A good friend of mine used to go to school With Douw Steyn. On the career path, Douw overtook him and vanished beyond the horizon. And yet... whenever Douw was in the area, my friend said - he took the time out of his precious day - to come and pick his old friend up in his Rolls Royce and take him out to lunch. Douw Steyn never forgot his home-town buddy,, who was then and still is now - just an ordinary salesman. The house is impressive, but it is this small detail that still inspires me the most.

Living in such opulence does not guarantee that you will be happy. If you are blessed to have these things then good, but no need to despair if you don't.

This Estate would provide employment. I mean honestly we need more people like this to invest in our country. Also since when has it become wrong to work your ass off build a business and spend your money? I really cannot understand that mindset. I cant afford to live like this but do I hate these people because they can? No it just inspires me to study harder and look for more opportunities.

    Honestly, i like a smaller, more functional home where i don't have to walk 100 meters to my target room. Then again, maybe all that walking doubles as exercise to keep you healthy, so it might be good at an older age...

    My mouth was literally open in awe throughout this whole video. What an incredible place! Owning a place like this is all a matter of perspective and scale. When you're worth close to a billion Pounds it is nothing unusual or surprising to indulge your fantasies in cars, luxury palaces and the like. Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal al-Saud spent $500 million on his own private Airbus 380. Does that make these people wrong or evil in some way? Why would it if they've been smarter than most others and earned their money through blood, sweat, tears and a lot of very clever thinking. What else are they supposed to do with it, keep it in bank vaults? What's the point in becoming rich if you can't spend it in extravagant and wonderful ways? In any event, I doubt that Douw, Carolyn or any other fabulously wealthy people lose any sleep over the gripes and snipes of petty poor people who just won't be gracious enough to acknowledge their success or earned right to live in this manner. I have nothing but respect and admiration for them, despite accepting that I will never have that kind of wealth or ability to live in such a palace. One of the reasons for that respect and admiration is the staggering amount of charity that more and more mega-rich people are contributing their wealth towards, 67 Blankets being one very small example, with 30 000 needy people having received a free blanket. How much do the gripers and snipers actually give to charity, truthfully?

      *_I really liked your comment until you said "I will never have that kind of wealth or ability to live in such a palace". Remember, you are what you think about all the day long. Believing you can achieve all things is the first step toward wealth. Re-define your personal blueprint for success, build a stronger foundation, muster up the passion and vision toward something you do better than anyone in the world. Become highly focused and disciplined toward mastery of your task. Speak it into existence. Write down your goals and recite them outload every day into existence. Follow these steps to get your heart desires: 1) What is that I want? (Meditate) => 2) Can I clearly see what I want? (Visualize) => 3) Recite outloud what it is you want to program your subconscious mind to begin working (Manifestation) => 4) Reinforce the attainment of what you want by a relentless work ethic (Disciplined Work). Remember, you are what you think about all the day long. If you change your words you change your thoughts. If you change your thoughts, you change your circumstances. If you change your circumstances you change you destiny. Now get to work!_*

You see the truth is you can have it all. This is so inspiring. the work ethic, diligence and prayer that was put into achieving this is evidently great. By far the best illustration of the saying - "if you are born poor it is not your fault, but if you die so, it is"

Let alone the tremendous amount of energy gone into its construction and maintenance that will certainly surpass the former. Live simply that others can live, was Gandhi's principle that we should all reflect upon but some uber rich are too poor to even think of the planet they were born into because all they have, is money.
