Downsizing from a 90,000 sq ft palace - 'Poor' Rich People

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.

Haven'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.

Ah, 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)

Soooo... 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.
