A BILLION Dollar Home--And it's based on New York Feng Shui! by Feng Shui Long Island New York

Sean, They had it built....this home already has owners...and it was closer to two billion then one.

Jeff & Grace, It's not very "homey" to me.  I can't imagine a place could actually be too BIG!

Rob, I couldn't believe it either.  Apparently these people can afford to live VERY well.

Sally, I can't fathom a billion either but there are lots of homes in the Hamtons here for Millions.  They are absolutely unbelievable!

Gary, We were going to stay for dinner until we saw the menu.  Way, WAY out of my reach (and I was expecting expensive in there but not a mortgage payment :)

Joan, Vastu is very popular with people from India.  Since there are only one or two in the US they call Feng Shui Consultants because the principles are pretty much the same.

Rosario, I thought if I lived there I wouldn't feel protected in some way...it feels like a hotel to me.

Clint, I am guessing they need several maids on each floor -- not to mention butlers and other servants

Cynthia, I can't imagine living there either, it is way over the top for me :)  And there's no backyard--I guess they don't like to garden.

Debbie, I'm sorry, it's late and I missed your comment...almost.  I'm not sure about the staircases, I belive the should not be straight up and couldn't quite tell from the picture if they were.  We certainly use some crystals (but nothing like that) and the different shapes of the furniture as well as placement.  What didn't follow Feng Shui principles was the garage underneath. We wouldn't have advised that because energy rises and you would energically "feel" in and out motions.  They also made mention of the special sinks in the bathroom though I'm not familiar with that leaf.

Trace, It was funny I happened to have stopped in the Hotel and had those pictures when I read the article.  No, I don't believe I could live there either, I don't see how it could FEEL like HOME.

Deborah, I had put a few pictures of the Mandarin up when I saw those Foo Dogs outside and decided to see what it was.  I never thought it would inspire a billion dollar house :)

Nestor and Katerina, I am always taking photos these days...and am constantly surprised that no one asks me WHY.  They don't seem to mind.  One person at a local restaurant did ask and I told them I was a writer and then they allowed me to take pictures....which reminds me I never posted about it :)

Jo, It's so funny what we all come across sometimes.  I couldn't live their either--I definitely need a backyard although I remember loving the home in Dynasty!

Fernando, You'd have to make friends with the owner, it looks like a hotel but it's a home.  If you happen to make friends with them and get in, let me know!

Nancy, I don't see why they'd mind, I did write about them :)  I checked the prices there and I believe it was almost $600 a night.  I remember when hotels were pricey but you could still spend a night in Manhattan, not anymore :(
