YouTube Description:
The Queen of Versailles is a character-driven documentary about a billionaire family and their financial challenges in the wake of the economic crisis. With epic proportions of Shakespearean tragedy, the film follows two unique characters, whose rags-to-riches success stories reveal the innate virtues and flaws of the American Dream.
The film begins with the family triumphantly constructing the biggest house in America, a 90,000 sq. ft. palace. Over the next two years, their sprawling empire, fueled by the real estate bubble and cheap money, falters due to the economic crisis. Major changes in lifestyle and character ensue within the cross-cultural household of family members and domestic staff. This character-driven documentary follows a billionaire family and their financial challenges in the wake of the economic crisis.
Directed by Lauren Greenfield.

budzosHaven't watched the clip but my eye went straight to the FLamin' Hot Cheetos in the thumbnail. Man, I loves me some FLamin' Hot Cheetos. Can't get them in Canada.
EDIT: they might not be Flamin' Hot. I see phantom Flamin' Hots.
deathcowI didn't know kids liked Cheetos too, that kid obviously loves them. Maybe my kids would like them. Check out http://www.cheetos.com/ for Cheetos recipes and be sure to read about Cheetos at wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheetos
NorsuelefanttiCheetos.

Boise_LibAh, yes.
The combination of the crunchy cheetos shredding the top of my mouth and the flaming hotness entrenched in the resulting flaps of skin.
Good Times, indeed.
(this is very snarky, but I do love them)
spoco2Soooo... ignoring cheetos for the moment.
I do not envy these people one bit. Even if they weren't facing 'hard' (bah, not hard in any logical sense of the word) times, I still wouldn't want their 'marriage', their 'relationship' or their life.
VoodooV says...never understood the desire for mansions that huge. It's ridiculous. Sure I want a nice house, who doesn't. But a mansion? fuck that noise.
criticalthud says...*hoarders?
moral of the story:
enough hot cheetos will make your poo red.
PaybackFor the cost of that mansion, I'd have a decent house on every continent and enough money to fly 1st class to each one, and stay a month at a time.

No kidding... and the dude built it in FLORIDA..!!! Nuts
GutspillerI'm sure making this documentary is helping save them money.
My_design says...Back to the Cheetos...
The new Jalapeno ones are AWESOME.
PHJFIf I still didn't care whatsoever about my body I would eat Flamin Hot Cheetohs three times a day, every day.
RyjkyjI prefer cheese puffs.
budzosAsking the man: "Do you get strength from your marriage?
"No."
This is why I'm single, kids.

Yeah, because this is where to look for a good example of a marriage.
Have your say...
