    See its website: https://waddesdon.org.uk/
    Some facts:

    - 6,000 acres of land
    - over 150 yrs old
    - houses about 15,000 artistic objects: paintings, rare historical furniture, sculptures
    - over 70 rooms

    How would you estimate its value? I guess land goes in this location at around $500,000 per acre, so $3Bn for the land. The building? Have no idea. Probably half a billion. Art? If each item is worth $100,000 and im sure many are 100X more, its another $1.5Billion.

    Total: 5 freakin billion dollars. And you thought Gates xanadu is grand. Or Epstein NYC mansion at just silly $50MM.
    Now, its only one of around 80 properties this family has. That we know of.
    So americans.... Know your masters ;)

    A bunch of Jews who then descended into partial antisemitism. Quite a family.

    It's certainly a stunning property. Gorgeous gardens too.
