[Rain Man]

California - That house. Wow. That house. If houses were cookies, that's a four-foot diameter chocolate chip house. I don't even need an indoor pool because it's in perfect weather. That house is unbelievable. And it's 34,000 square feet, which I think is more than 50 percent larger than any other house we've seen so far. You can do anything you want there. I would invite strangers into my home just to see their reactions.

New Mexico - This is interesting, because I really like Santa Fe and I really like the classic New Mexico architecture. This house takes stuff I like and multiplies it by ten. And on top of that and green chile I get over $1 million a year? Wow.

But the question in the thread is very thought-provoking. How would I spend $1 million per year? Does that make my life four times better than spending $250,000 per year?

How would I spend $1 million in Santa Fe? I'd have some pretty amazing art in my house, I'll tell you that. And I'd probably do fun stuff like sponsor plays and bring in Springsteen to play at my house parties. The interesting thing, though, is that when you have big money you typically satisfy your need for objects pretty quickly, and then you seek experiences. But if I can only travel outside my radius for two weeks per year, that limits my ability to seek experiences.

Both of these places are amazing, and normally New Mexico would be really hard to beat. But man oh man, that house in California is just irresistible. I have to go California.
