Feeling Wealthy? #SplurgeAndSpend $195,000,000 on this Place. I mean Palace. How ASK: The Queen of Splurge promotes Luxury Real Estate. 1 #Tweet + 1 #Blog + 1 #Hashtag @ a Time, for Starters.




National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #139 for Friday, November 7, 2014 may just be (without and beyond the Shadow of a Doubt), the largest Real Estate Splurge in the History of the USA.  That’s because it deals with a Home (more at the Compound – Palace State or eState Levels) that is the most expensive PoP: Piece of Property yet cited by The Media. 


What will $195,000,000 buy? That is the usual Question ASK, The Queen of Splurge (Creator /Founder/Originator & Owner of National Splurge Day ©1994 & The Daily Splurge & YOTS:  Years Of The Splurges ©2010) asks when a Topic of this Nature presents itself (i.e.: appears in the Media so it makes us think and dream large – larger than Life, that is).





Evidently, right off the Bat (a 24-karat insured Bat @ that), if the Purchaser is extremely generous and/or s/he decides to give $1,000,000 to his closest 195 Facebook or Twitter Friends, then 195 sure-fast Friends, that’s a given, will be secured for life, or until that Amount is exhausted. That's a Lot of Exhaust, per ASK's Cal-Q-lations.  We can all agree that this is most certainly a wonderful Way to start out the Holiday-Gift-Giving Season. 



Indeed, a Time of Splurging, when the Sky is the limit – to some/sum People.


However, there are about 195,000,000 Ways to split that Pie, beginning by giving a Buck/Dollar to the lowest on the Economical Rung: Those 195,000,000 who make $1 or less a Day.  Those who live far below the Subsistence or Poverty Levels found across our Granite Planet.  There’s a Demographic right there, that would surely consider that Amount a SPLURGE - a Treat - a Blessing in and of itself. 


“It all depends on what Side of the Bank Account you are on,” Koopersmith deducts.




ENTER:  Palazzo di Amore




Embodying Elegance, Optimum Grace and Sophistication. Every Comfort has been considered and every Detail meticulously included.



It's all about Palazzo di Amore where it's full-fledged Article is entitled:







Yes, you too, can read more about this Palacial Property online at:   




http://destinationluxury.com/tour-the-house-that-an-overnight-chinese-billionaire-might-buy-for-195000000/#kf2oWCPCf1llCcdQ.99


in case you are unable to afford this Amount of Luxury all in one Place - Palace.  My Guess is that the Real Estate Agent will require all  potential Buyers to sign an Agreement that they can afford  this Home; otherwise, it will become a Gawker’s Piece and those who live in Beverly Hills, just hate Sight-See-ers who come and stare.






Vaguely in the Background, transcending Time & Space, I can hear my Two Dear Bubbies say:  “Oy, veys meer…is that a Splurge?  If not, then what is?” 



For all my Friends who are Real Estate Agents, they are dying and vying to get their Hands on this Property. It spells out an Early Retirement for them.  Imagine that Windfall if sold to the ‘Highest Bidder’ – evidently a Celebrity, Movie Director, Lottery Winner and/or High Tech Silicon Valley Guru who will have a hey-day with those Property Taxes.  Don't quit your Day Job, that's for sure.



Say...Buddy, can you spare a Wing?

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #140 for Saturday, November 8, 2014 is rooted in yesterday's Palacio Blog and further delves into The Realm of SPLURGING when Money is (evidently) no Issue.  As you will recall Agents were asking $195,000,000 for this Beverly Hills Home.

 

With Twelve (12) Bedrooms as Part of this Estate and an important one at that, one can only wonder about buying Furniture for a Property that huge.  First, of course, the Primary Purchase would be THE BED.  More than likely, THE BED has to be the most expensive BED IN THE WORLD.  A Cot won’t due. The complete Essence of the Home must add to its Richness.  Who sleeps on that Bed?  Can a Pea be felt near its Core because THE BED is that sensitive?  Is an expensive BED all the more comfortable? 

 

Of course, a Web Page is devoted to the Question of:


What is the most expensive Bed in the World?

 

Emil Anton, the Writer estimates those BEDS high-end from $50,000 to well over $1,000,000. For that Amount, I’d expect Breakfast in Bed served every Day, 24/7 and around the Clock. 

 

Ten of the Most Expensive Beds In The World are featured on their own Page.  Here at SPLURGE CENTRAL, We are smitten with:

#1 Baldacchino Supreme Bed ~ Price: $6.3 million

#2 Magnetic Floating Bed ~ Price: $1.6 million (what I call the non-bed. When you view its Image you will see why.  Show me a Pillow and I’m half-way there). 

#3 Jado Steel Style Gold Bed ~ Price: $676,550  (in Gold, mind you). 

#4 Parnian Furniture Bed ~ Price: $210,000

 

#7 Cosmovoide Bed ~ Price: $60,000

 A special thank you to Emil Anton, a Web-Entrepreneur with over 4 years of Experience in the Digital Luxury Industry, Founder of some of the most visited Online Properties, Event Speaker, LifeStyle Enthusiast!

You’re able to take it from here for the next Query for tomorrow that may be:

What are the most expensive Bed Linens in the World/

 

But, of course, in our Heart of Hearts, We certainly know the Best Part of THE BED is who you are bedding down with.  That’s a SPLURGE that Money won’t or can’t buy (but it comes awfully close).

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #141 for Sunday, November 9, 2014 is again rooted in Friday's Palacio Blog and still further delves into The Realm of SPLURGING when Money is (hardly) an Issue. 

The AP: Asking Price for this luxurious Beverly Hills Home is:  $195,000,000.  What continued to pique our Attention here at SPLURGE CENTRAL is the number of Bathrooms in this Home.  23 is that Numeral.  According to the 53,000 Square Feet that the Palace-Place covers, they must have deducted that 23 Bathrooms would be sufficient for 23 People needing those Facilities.  However, when We at SPLURGE CENTRAL compute ‘The Math,’ if Two (2) People were nesting in each of the 12 Bedrooms, then you’d think that each  Person should have their own Bathroom.  Someone is missing out.  That’s Tragic. I take it $195,000,000 doesn’t buy as much as it used to. 

Of course with that FUN closing One Line Zinger on the above Opening Paragraph, We plan to go much farther and discover:

What are the Top Ten most expensive Bathrooms in the World?

Evidently, 23 of them should be in this Home of all Homes, Palace of all Palaces – Palacio if you like the European Take on IT all and there are lots to Take-In. 


And, once again, We have googled our Way into some of the most incredibly luxurious Places on the Planet, that if it had not been for Google, none of us would be experiencing this Degree of  Formal Decadence. 

 
How pricey can these Bathrooms be?  Picking our Favorite, We will also include the Price Tag, which, of course, is added to the Expense of instilling the Finest in this Abode and similar ones across our Granite Planet. 

Our Findings show that:  


One Marble Bathtub in this glamorous bathroom is $17 million.
 

One Bathroom has a Fireplace in its center. Apparently for the Times when the Hot Water is plugged up or in Times of Drought. 

One ‘smart’ Bathroom even releases Scents. Hopefully, one of your 23 Housemates do not have Allergies.

 

The most expensive Bathroom (made entirely of Gold) is $2.3 million.  Extravagantly expensive is not how I’d spend the allocated $2.3 million.  After all has been said and done, the Bathroom still remains the Bathroom; not an Out-House.  I could deal with a few Fog-Free Mirrors though or a Magic Mirror created to highlight the Lines of a Life lived past 60. 

EXPLORING MORESO: 
Entering  these Bathrooms We find Toilets.  The lowest priciest Toilet begins at $5,000, but the most handsome was the Dagobert commanding $14,000; the Moon River Art Toilet coming in at $750,000. However, the Earthliest of them all is entitled:  Hang Fung Gold Toilet for $5,000,000, the Grandest Toilet of all Toilets. However, if you are planning any Intergalactic Trips, the International Space Station Toilet retails at $19,000,000.  Why?  That’s a good Question, but We all know the Answer, don’t we.      

Installing a $5,000,000 Toilet in each of these 23 Bathrooms seems a bit ostentatious, doesn’t it.  I guess $195,000,000 leaves your Spending Field wide open.

ASK/Chicago's The Daily Splurge #97 furthers Consumer Reports controversial Q: What would you do or buy if given $100,000 Tax-Free?



***
#NationalSplurgeDay’s #TheDailySplurge #97 for Thursday, September 25, 2014 fully recognizes that Three (3) Months from Today, Christmas will be celebrated.  Chanukah will have closed being commemorated from December 16-24 and shall become yet another Fond Memory, an integral Part of History and Jewish Lore. From Dreidls to Cradles is how I pronounce that Incongruence. Kwanzaa then picks up the Celebration on December  26 through January 1 of each year thanks to Maulana Karenga, an African-American leader who proposed this Observance in 1966 (meaning 2016 is this Event's official 50TH Year Anniversary). 
Therefore, without a Doubt in anyone’s mind, this  heightened Period will automatically make us WANT TO SPLURGE.  Pulled into the Hub-Bub Excitement of what a New SPLURGE brings, back at SPLURGE CENTRAL located in Chicago, The Capitol of Splurge, Director Robert E. Hofstadter noted that on CBS TV This Morning with Charlie Rose – Gayle King and Nora O’Donnell that Todd  Marks at Consumer Reports conducted a Survey. 
From those People polled, these Folks were asked: 
What would or could you buy or do if you were given $100,000 tax-free? 
Evidently, the Reward was not $100,000 at the End of the Questionnaire but some mighty interesting Facts on what this Demographic would do.  Granted SPLURGING is an individual Choice per person in whatever location they live in and with what Tastes (or Lack of Taste) they possess. 
HOWEVER, the Question is one that is worth its Weight in Words. 
OF INTEREST IS THE FACT THAT:   $100,000 does not go as long a Ways as it did 100 years ago or even merely 50 years ago when I was ‘A Kid Growing Up Koopersmith’ in a rural part of Illinois, where the Vibe of a Big City and its cosmopolitan air did not exist.  It is mighty interesting to see how We would function if $100,000 was planted into our Hands.  $100,000 to the below-average and average person is a Bounty.  To the superbly ultra-rich amongst us, it’s merely a NOOTT:  Night Out On The Town.  
After all, hypothetically, if I were a Student with College Debt, I certainly would apply this Money to pay off my Bill.  But now that I’m a Seniorita who is 62, what I expect and demand from Life is entirely different, as is yours, I am sure. 
For Today, for the Moment, my List of Top 10 Picks and Selections is:
$10,000 to an Animal Welfare League;
$10,000 to a Homeless Shelter;
$10,000 to a Food Bank as @ZeroPercentUs;
$10,000 to pay off more of a Mortgage on my Home;
$10,000 to take a Trip to somewhere exotic and/or warm away from the Chiberian Polar Vortex;
$10,000 to produce my 7 Part Screenplay & Books that eliminates Racism;
$10,000 to hand out $50 Bills on the Corner of State & Washington in Chicago on Black Friday at 10 AM sharp;
$10,000 to give to After School Matters, one of my favorite ‘Do-Good’ Groups;
$10,000 to apply to the Hofstadter Homestead Account; and
$10,000 to put away for a ‘Rainy Day.’
And, what would you do with an extra One Hundred Grand in your Pocket.  Feel free to list a few of your Thoughts here.  They may just make for a future Post in #TheDailySplurge. 
I’m suspecting and expecting that maybe…just maybe…Todd will include me in Consumer Reports' next Popular Opinion Poll.  Let’s hope his Team wisely adjusts the Amount to that ever escalating, never-ending Cost of Living Adjustment.   That would be the politically correct 'Thing to Do.'

The Daily Splurge: Paying $1,000,000 for a Parking Space! You've got to be out of your frigging mind. When a Reality Check is sorely needed.







The Daily Splurge

Part & Parcel of:
ASK: ADRiENNE SiOUX KOOPERSMiTH's
National Splurge Day
now in its 20TH Year.

Contact:  ASK: 'America's Premier Eventologist' at:

Adrienne.Sioux.Koopersmith@gmail.com

Wednesday, September 10, 2014. #NationalSplurgeDay’s #TheDailySplurge #82 was something I heard on CBS This Morning with Charles Rose, Gayle King & Nora O’Donnell reporting LIVE from New York City where Episodes like these just happen too often.   They reported that:

 

A Parking Space is now for Sale for One Million Dollars.  That’s $1,000,000.00.

 

Evidently, this is a gigantic SPLURGE for Someone who is ultra and über-wealthy enough to afford that Commodity; however, if a Person can afford a Home that has a ONE MILLION DOLLAR Parking Space (I hope it’s inside, heated and comes with its own Primo Coffee & Danish each Morning for the Trip in to Work), that House is not a Home, it officially qualifies as being a Mansion that has got to be over $25,000,000 to do that Parking Space Justice.
 

In a Case like this, there is no absolute Justice, since 99% of us cannot afford that SPLURGE.  However, for those of us who like to dream, if I (as the #QUEENOFSPLURGE were in that Position to buy a Parking Space (for my Luxury Vehicle or Liner), I would prefer taking that Million Dollars and give it to the Top 1000 Unfortunates I know.

I have a Feeling I would even do that if I were able to purchase a Parking Space for Half a Million Dollars.  Some Things (as Parking Spaces) are just not worth a lot of Money.  I call that the Warren Buffett Effect.  If you don’t believe me.  Ask Mother Nature. Originally, until Man arrived, she had no Price Tags on any of her Natural Wonders.  But that’s another Blog’s Worth all found in my 7 Part Book & Movie Scripts called:

 

SKiN: SACRED KINSHIP iN NATURE ™

HOW 10 BELOVED PLUSH TOYS REDEFINE RACE ©2009

That:

Eliminates Racism;

Dispels the Mixed Signals and Ironies we receive every Day; and

Gets to the Heart of what really matters.

 
RETURNING TO THE PARKING LOT ISSUE: 

Starving Artists are plentiful in our World.

Orphans are plentiful.

Domestic Violence Victims are plentiful. 

There are PLENTY OF WAYS to give to worthy Causes that amount to more than a Slab of cold Concrete in a Big City High-Rise. 

 

And for those of you in The Media, you can quote me on that one: 

Per: ASK: Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith

America’s Premier Eventologist’

Chicago – IL USA

 

who claims:

 

“There are PLENTY OF WAYS to give to worthy Causes

that amount to more than a Slab of cold Concrete in a Big City High-Rise.”

 

$1,000 would help them out much more than a Space that rates as too mind-boggling. 

 

Now, at this point in this Text and Context of The Daily Splurge for those of you who are following along (and I so appreciate that Kind Gesture), We go over to google and type in: 

What will $1,000,000 buy in 2014?


Read down the Answers.  Weed out the ones that are OF INTEREST to you and yours and proceed from there – the next Time you have a MILLION DOLLARS to
SPLURGE with.

 

My Favorite came from:  James Twining CFP® Bellingham, WA

http://www.nerdwallet.com/finance/question/i-am-54-and-have-inherited-1-000-000-how-many-years-can-this-sum-last-me-2666

 

Mr. Twining stated:  “Most who inherit a large lump sum think they are rich.  They aren't.  $1 million is not enough to retire successfully for most people.”

 

However, ONE MILLION DOLLARS can make a hugely significant Difference to those who are frugal enough to s-t-r-e-t-c-h it out.  And, if you so choose to SPLURGE at a Discount Center – Dollar Store – or Resale Shop, you’ll get much MORE of a BANG than if you invest in a MILLION DOLLAR Parking Space as your Auto devalues in Price and Value.

Previous comments to this Article are:  Kati Heljakka completed her thesis "Principles of adult play(fulness) in contemporary toy cultures, From Wow to Flow to Glow," which was published by the Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture in September. 

 

The study examines how interest towards toys turns into playful and productive activities at adult age.

ASK’s NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994 hits the BiG TiME! Will you be in its Opening News Blitz? 

 

“NSD” (NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY) began in Chicago in the Roots and Heartland of Mid-America.  If you own a fine Chicago Shop you may wish to participate in Koopersmith’s YEAR OF THE SPLURGE ©2010 commemorating her Top Pop HOLIDATE’s 20TH Year Anniversary in 2014.   Because she retains the Titles of ‘America’s Premier Eventologist’ & ‘The Premier Eventologist in The History of The World’ (from Gene Koprowski & Eric Zorn, two top Journalists who interviewed her in 1997 & 2001, respectively), the entire Year (of 2014) has now been proclaimed as the:  YEAR OF THE SPLURGE whereby every Month is  methodically and carefully angled toward a Theme in which THE (S)URGE TO SPLURGE predominates. 

 

However, Splurging in 1994 was much different than it is today.  For that reason, Chicago’s Very Own, ASK: Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith, a Literary Maverick (who has resided in Chicago since 1974) has added a special Twist that will set your Product/Brand/Company/Shop, etc.  apart from any and all others when you sign up for her Services (equating to Sales - Exposure  - KNOW-toriety throughout 2014) during NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY and THE YEAR OF THE SPLURGE.

 

Get started today by FB-ing her here to set up a Time to discuss this limited and once in a lifetime Opportunity.

 

The Deadline is set for Friday, November 15, 2013.

ASK/CHICAGO's POP CULURE RECO OF THE SEASON:    On Toys U Must Have:  From Fab.com / NYC
 

Cubebot Small Multi by David Weeks

 
Robot toys are usually made of plastic and require batteries—but not this burly buddy. Inspired by the Japanese Shinto Robot toys are usually made of plastic and require batteries—but not this burly buddy. Inspired by the Japanese Shinto Kumi-ki puzzles, Cubebot is a non-traditional take on the toy robot that brings together ancient Japanese traditions and today's toy culture. Cubebot’s powerful hardwood frame can hold many poses, and his elastic-band muscles and durable wood limbs make him impervious to breakage. When Cubebot gets grumpy and it’s time for him to rest, he folds into a perfect cube.
 

Can U imagine an ARMY of these in every Room of your Home?  I can!

More PsychoBabble about more Chinese Babies having to equate to more TOYS filling more Landfills (ultimately):
Difficulties exist when a Multi-Kid Family enters the Picture & begins LIFE 2gether. Gone R the Days of THE BRADY BUNCH.  Many times, the oldest & only Child gets the most TOYS  & the Kid (at any age) w/ the MOST TOYS WINS. That’s a given, any way U look @ it. However, when Child #2 or #3 hits the scene – ZAP!   Sibyl Rivalry enters & there’s NOT enuf TOYS 2 go around.  
If Equality reigns, then the Parents w/B wise enuf 2 make sure each CHILD has enuf TOYS. TOYS R a popular Commodity made in China (anyway) & “what is made in China stays in China” (as it does in Vegas) so the Kids won’t have 2 wait 4  a popular TOY 2 arrive 6 Months later. 
What the real Question is:  Will the Chinese Manufacturers check 4 Lead Poisoning B-4 selling that HOT TOY Comm-ODD-ity?

Pa-Pathetic. Much cuter when I was 'Growing Up Koopersmith' back in the 1960s. I'd make my TROLLS outfit out of felt. Anyone out there remember F-E-L-T? These look like cheap Japanese Animated BUY-products if you 'ask' me. I still have them as a matter of fact. Some things are just too cool to discard! Trolls & Toys are 2 of those timeless entities.

ASK’s YELLOW CHAIR RECO OF THE DAY: 
 
ATTN:  TOY FANS – COLLECTORS & AFICIONADOS ACROSS THE WORLD:
 
The real (honest-2-goodness) Spelling of his Name was:  PLAY-to!  But it got misspelled (therefore: re-interpretated) throughout the Centuries.  Yea, that's true now as I put it on the Internet for Posterity.  Got to love those Ancient Greeks.  Dead for so long, yet quite ALiVE in Cyberspace. 
 
PS:  Looks like a comfortable Chair but would look nicer with a few Dolls or Plush Toys on it.  Certainly some TOY manufacturer sees this as a BRANDiNG Opportunity.  I know I do.

SOURCE:  Richard Gottlieb:    Making your own toys; it's coming back. Read about it on Global Toy News.


MY COMMENTARY IS:  Reminds me of the CARROT Baby my Mother made for me 55 years ago, Richard out of a Real Carrot and a small Piece of Cloth!  There's also a trend for multi-media artists who NOW make TOYS & they are displaying at these fun/funky ART Galleries like Rotofugi in Chicago.  Neat.  After all, most people have to stay in THESE days because of the #PolarVortex that's taken over our primary atmospheric conditions.  And, when you get tired of playing with your tried-and-true TOYS, it's time to get creative - exercise those BRAIN CELLS and make UR own.  $ell them to Mark Zuckerberg for $19,000,000 and then you can TOY away the rest of your days.  Yup, that's my play-plan.

INCARCERATED IN TOYS THIS IS A TRUE STORY:

 

Once a month, my BF & I volunteer @ a suburban #SoupKitchen where we know ‘the Regulars’ who come in for a hot and fortified Meal.  While there, one of the gals strolled in and I stopped to chat with her.  Usually accompanied by her SO: Significant Other, I was soon to find out that he is not that ‘significant’ any more in her life.  He’s at CCJ:  Cook County Jail for having stolen LEGOS.  Can U imagine that! 

 

Doing hard-time for stealing LEGOS.  A grown-man who should have known better, much, much better!  I would guess he stole them in order for his younger cousins to have some of those popular TOYS.  CCJ is a very cruel/ harsh place and highly over-crowded and no place for LEGOS to be.   Undoubtedly, he may get the begeebees kicked out of him and become the laughing stock of his cellblock.  But when I found out that HE STOLE TOYS – and synthesized that situation, it made me think of what Mentality would perform that Act(ion) and how harsh his Sentence should be.  Of course, it’s not WHAT he stole as much as how many times he stole before & a slew of other #LawandOrder type of Offences. 

 

 

But TOYS usually make us happy, in this case, it is his downfall. 

 

 

I just thought I’d pass this along for the T-File: 2014  (TOY File, of course) which is also posted as Part of  my ongoing Series.  The Original was published on the Friday, September 27, 2013 BLOG:  TT: TOY Talk and continues from that Point according to what I happen to find newsworthy.

ASK/Chicago: Of interest.   MYT: Makes You Think about PLAY here on Planet Earth:
What can $700 billion buy?
THE PREMISE:  IF YOU HAD $700 BILLION DOLLARS, what would/could/should you spend IT all on.
It is tough to wrap your brain around how much $ that is, so this Website tried to put things in perspective for us.
 
(NOTE:  All figures are estimates.)
 
You could buy 10 Monopoly games for each of the 6.7 billion human beings on planet earth.

You could buy 373 basketballs for every child in the U.S.
 
You could buy 200 four-packs or Play-Doh for every child under 14 on the planet

TOY TALK #18 as posted on my FB Page: April 16, 2014 – 10 AM CST

With regards to a recent Facebook Post by Richard Gottlieb, Global Toy Advocate/Promoter -  http://www.globaltoyexperts.com/ - my Commentary reads as:


I like UR Devotion to and Persistence in the TOY Industry, Mr. G., as it's always RIGHT on Target and UR constantly thinking OUT OF THE (TOY) BOX to remedy which may need a Fix and/or Update.  Additionally as ‘America’s Premier Eventologist’ since 1990, II suggest that SPECIAL DAYS be allocated - and INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN -  as TOY Days so that people automatically ‘TOY’ (the verb here)  with that Marketing Ploy,  and, therefore,  buy - exchange - share TOYS. 

 

Oh, this just hit me.  And, this started years ago and it shocked me then as I grew up in an era (1950s & 1960s) when THIS was relevant and part of our schedules.  You may recall also.  It was the fact that RECESS was being dropped at schools.  Reinstate RECESS - a Time to Play - with TOYS and that too will help kids; increase  sales and allow us and them to DESTRESS. 

 

All of yours are Great Pointers, BUT the Bottom Line is:  They have to be WORKED and drummed into people’s psyches and minds – not only their pocketbooks.  OR so I think.
