David Seigel’s Unfinished 90,000 Square Foot Eyesore
The housing boom in Florida certainly fueled it share of excess. Our new favorite: David Siegel’s Versailles, an unfinished 90,000-square-foot home in the Orlando area that boasts 13 bedrooms, 23 full bathrooms, a 6,000-square-foot master suite (with plans in place for a bed on a rotating platform), a banquet kitchen plus 10 satellite kitchens, a 20-car garage, three pools, a two-story wine cellar and a grand hall with a 30-foot stained glass dome.
Mr. Siegel, the chief executive officer of Orlando-based Westgate Resorts, began building the sprawling, resort-like mega mansion for himself and his family in the town of Windermere a few years ago. “Construction was halted last year to save money in a recession that proved particularly hard on Mr. Siegel’s once-booming industry,” according to the AP. The unfinished home is now listed for $75 million. If you want the building completed, simply ante up another $25 million.
