Cash rich, morally bankrupt

Some people have too much money. (That’s a problem I never had.)

Like Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev. He bought Donald Trump's mansion in Palm Beach for $95 million. (He should have bought some more vowels for his name, but that’s another blog.)

That price, in case you’re wondering, is the most ever paid for home in the United States.

The Donald made a nice profit, too. He paid only $41 mil for the pad in 2004.

He probably made some improvements, though, to boost the selling price, like adding longer garden hoses and some of those curly light bulbs.

Anyway, if you think this is a Bunch of Wretched Excess, you are right, but you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Rybolovlev is thinking about tearing down the house he just bought for nearly $100 million … so he can put up an even fancier one!

Don’t worry, he can afford it. His net worth is estimated at $12.8 billion by the Forbes list, making him the 59th richest person on the planet.

Still, you don’t have to be a Commie to wonder how much real good he could do with that money instead of pissing it away on an ego trip.
