Not gonna lie. I'm pretty jealous of folks that can purchase a $1.6 million dollar home with no plan of what to do with it and not even going to live in it.

No shit. This was my first thought. You've gotta be well off to buy a house for more than it would be worth at face value just because you love a movie and wanna have it.

Same thoughts as well, but reading another article it said he put down 20% and pulled out equity from a couple of other properties he owns, so altogether he had to pull out three different loans.

Maybe not the smartest move. That being said, he also has multiple properties to pull equity from. Still doing far better than I am.

Hey, now. That's not fair to you or your challenges, man. I have no doubt that you've made impressive progress in overcoming what you've got in your way, and I don't even know you. This guy could've inherited wealth and done fuck all otherwise. Be proud of what you've accomplished and never compare your victories to others' social media posts. Keep killin' it! 🤘🏼

Yep, or they could be in a crapton of debt. Either way, it's not a foregone conclusion that they are "doing better".

We've seen what happens to folks who have $10M in properties and $9M in mortgages and the market turns south. All that "success" when the times are good is fake.
