Jesus somebody post a good photo of their home. Enough of this messy, fratty bullcrap. I fully expect the next image on here to involve a beer can pyramid.

+1. In fact a small part of the reason I don't play mine is the fact that it's too solid and heavy for my personal preference.

Yes, nearly twice what you'd expect in a normal apartment in the city. Then again, this is anything but a normal apartment

But a mortgage on the property with 20% down and 5% interest is like $350,000 a month, so $210,000 a month for rent doesn't seem too bad. Usually I think that rent is higher than the mortgage payment.

From my knowledge, anything over 400K for a mortgage is a jumbo mortgage and is at a higher interest rate. I don't think that the people that would buy this type of place would get a mortgage. I could be wrong.

A lot of very rich people, have a huge income to live on, but it is entirely based upon their assets, such as stocks. So I bet a lot of people would be able to afford the monthly payment, but not invest so much of their assets into the house.
